I felt justified in skipping my 59 last night. Actually, I didn't skip them, I replaced them with another exercise.  I did the 'carry and flush' too many times to count which worked my arms, my shoulders and especially my back muscles along with many  other groups that have been strangers to my routine, but have expressed appreciation to me for their recent work out.  The 'carry and flush' is bending and lifting and then carrying a shop vac full of water from the stairwell to the bathroom and dumping it into the toilet (or shower to relieve tedious repetition) and then repeating the process over and over.  I am grateful to my workout partner for spelling me several times during the workout and giving me encouragement.  As you may have guessed this new exercise regimen wasn't one of choice.  We worked for over an hour trying to get our pump to pump, but no way, too cold or too old or just broken so my wonderful wife came up with 'plan b'.  In hindsight it wasn't so bad, but I feel badly that I didn't ace my 'furnace test' the way I would have hoped for.  A little grumpy I got when faced with such a dilemna.  But finally pass, I did.  And it appears that I will have more opportunity to qualify again, 'over and over!'
