Non Scale Victories This Week
During last night's LIIFT 4 Shoulders workout, I saw an improvement over last weeks shoulder presses. I was unable to do the 2nd and 3rd sets last week overhead after about 3-4 presses. My left shoulder would literally fall like I'd lost all muscle control with 10 lb weights. Yesterday I used the same 10 lbs and it wasn't until the 7th rep on the second set that I started to feel bad fatigue but pushed through. On the third set my shoulders were shot but I was still able to push overhead even if slower. I pushed to fatigue but didn't have that dangerous muscle drop I had before. The zinnias I grew from seed are mostly in full bloom and I took some pics before cutting some to put in a little vase.

All of those Saturday cartoons except somehow I missed The Littles as I think when that was on I had to switch over to another channel that showed my Saturday Starcade shows instead but I did watch The Smurfs. After school for me it was always GI Joe, Transformers and Voltron. I do miss Adult Swim in the late 90's - that was a golden age for Cartoon Network as far as I'm concerned.
ReplyDeleteWe didn't watch a lot of tv when I was a kid (my folks still don't). I made a deal with my dad that however early I got up on Saturday morning, I could watch tv until 9am and then had to turn the tv off. So I watched whatever was on until 9. I know I watched Smurfs sometimes, that early there were reruns of older cartoons like Flintstones and the Jetsons. My absolute favorite was a cartoon called Dungeons and Dragons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YacKar7y3mc
ReplyDeleteThe entire draw of Captain Caveman was the yell. I can't remember even a whisper of single scene or story and probably couldn't ID any other character. But that yell!!!
ReplyDeleteMy childhood cartoon watching was similar to yours, with a small dose of Animaniacs and Pinky & the Brain as I got older. As an adult, it's The Simpsons, King of the Hill, Futurama, Daria and occasionally Beavis and Butt-Head. Haven't been watching much TV but my Saturday morning binge will always hold a place in my heart.
I was a huge Hanna-Barbera fan, so I watched a lot of the Flintstones, Jetsons, Magilla Gorilla, Squiddly Diddly, Jabberjaw. I loved Tex Avery with Chilly Willy and Woody Woodpecker. Some others that come to mind are Hong Kong Phooey, The Banana Splits, The Ant and the Ardvark, Richochet Rabbit, Popeye, Tom and Jerry, Strawberry Shortcakes, The Smurfs, and Bugs Bunny and the Gang, along with Fat Albert on Saturday mornings.
