Yet another bullet post

vicarzLabral annoyance:
I survived doing leg press, including the part where I was doing 180 on the dumb machine while a woman beside me was doing 450 and change. Dignity is having dignity when your situation does not. I moved the "weight" up to 230 last time and still no noticeable ill effects; similarly I did the elliptical for 30 minutes with an incline of "10" and resistance of "5" with no ill effects (nor effort, HR showed at around 130). At 180/230 I do have some effort, and other than resistance/stiffness with the hip joint, I don't feel pain or problems from the effort - which I hope is good news.
I am waking up slightly stiff and sore, but I feel otherwise fine enough I kind of forget about the issue unless I accidentally spread my legs (shut-it!) such as when I get in or out of the car.
Speaking of, got the videos from pre-surgery (not sure others can see them).
315 for 2 kind of, I didn't quite hit depth (no wonder I did 2) though to my shock my ankles aren't a complete wobble-wreck...well the first lift was horrible, with my ankles what...an inch in the air? (facepalm)

Then there is this bench at 235 which looks like not much effort...instead of going for 2 I went 1 and tried 245 (which I failed).

If the vids don't work oh well - couldn't download and hopefully I make the moot some months in the future.
Gymbrah has now squatted 405. I truly hope I get good results in months rather than years presuming I can lift without "pain" in the injury sense. We argue about lifting shoes vs. my chucks and I think he's winning that argument.
House:
I showed up at the house to grab mail, and found a "stop work order." That sounds horrible, but it was from the area inspector noticing the dumpster permit expired back on 10/31/15. I notified the contractor. I thought the permits would potentially get ruled on the end of March, but the last email from the contractor says end of this month - we'll see. It's funny that one arm of the government is not processing our permits while another is lamenting the dumpster still being there, though it's understandable the permit was not supposed to allow us to kill 2-3 parking spaces for about a year?
Other house:
With the cold my poor heat pump is just not adequate, and I think the "aux" coil heat is destroyed as well. I recall an estimate some time ago for $2600 or 2700 to replace the inside part, but I'd much rather do this as a rental repair than a nondeductible issue...I should look up those costs in the IRS publications sometime. I'm getting wrecked on the elec bill though, and will be for some time.
I want to shovel my snow but it seems odd to head down there when my walk in the snow is potentially injurious, and it's likely the neighbors will shovel as they did in the past.
I'm happy to be busy a lot, but it doesn't make for good writing.
