Buckfever's progress report/bananaman story.

2/13/2019

3rd session

Low tension @ 26 minutes
followed by
low tension @ 39 minutes

In this case the 3rd time’s the charm.

135.5 minutes on the day not bad after all.

2/14/2019

It’s Valentine’s day here in the states. I think we should take the day off, just in case. ;-)

I’ve already skipped on my morning extender routine for sex.

Will probably do some girth work this afternoon to prepare for more sex.

Happy Valentines Day Buck!

Oh yeah!

Late session

93% max tension @ 25 minutes.

2/15/2019

100% max tension @ 51 minutes

got to max tension @ ~ 8 minutes

Progress!!!

2/15/2018

100% max tension @ 47 minutes

Got to max tension @ 7.5 minutes

I’m stretched for time and not putting in an adequate effort. We’ll do the best we can, till my time frees up again.

2/17/2018

Snuck in another 18 minutes and I suspect that’s how it’s going to go, grabbing what I can here and there.

2/18/2019

100% max tension @ 20 minutes
low tension @ 30 minutes

Getting what I can here and there. I’m going to work on figuring out a reduced planned schedule later on, that might still be effective, till I sort things out.

“The four cardinal virtues (aretai) of Stoic philosophy is a classification derived from the teachings of Plato (Republic IV. 426–435):

Wisdom (σοφία “sophia”)
Courage (ανδρεία “andreia”)
Justice (δικαιοσύνη “dikaiosyne”)
Temperance (σωφροσύνη “sophrosyne”)

To live in harmony with the divine order of the universe,….. by reconciling ignorance of the reason in nature.

I strikes me as a metaphor, the goings on here. Maybe it starts with an underlying notion of justice, in response to a wound inflicted. Ambrose described courage as not the absence of fear but the judgement that there are things more important than the fear. And so courage, to embark on a journey largely dismissed as futile, demanding the necessary wisdom to proceed in a manner to emerge triumphant. and with temperance as the kingpin of execution.

Seemingly chaotic because of the various levels of the mosaic, but it seems to be the common thread.

It binds intrinsic to the specifics of the journey but also resonating to all the external with which it is interwoven.

2/19/2019

68% max tension @ 49 minutes

Backing off on tension and bringing the duration back up. Looks like my schedule will only allow for 1 session a day for a while so I’m going to favor duration and view this as a maintenance period.

2/20/2019

100% max tension @ 17 minutes

immediately followed by

Low tension @ 60 minutes

I felt no fatigue yesterday so I decided to up the tension for whatever time I could get and then do a second lower tension session. Well I screwed up the attachment on the first session so the duration was much less than I was wanting but at least we got the duration on the second session. I have definitely lost conditioning at the attachment points.

I need more time plain and simple.

2/20/2019

Second session:

Low tension @ 31 minutes

TIme permitting I may go again later, see if I can accumulate some minutes, by tucking in shorter sessions.

2/20/2019

Low tension @ 30 minutes

Grabbing what I can.

One day at a time.
