Re: TimbukTOO Team Room
One of those new age fathers, eh? My dad used to disappear to the garage. If only we could get away with that today. Of course, we love our children and would never avoid an opportunity to scrub bodily fluids off the floor in favor of rowing.jamusdvm wrote:Ughhh, this was an attempt at my first HM which was abruptly thwarted by my 3yo and 1mo daughters.

After reading another of your posts on this topic, Andy, I consider you THE authority, this one below had me LOL. Spot on.Quatroux wrote: One of those new age fathers, eh? My dad used to disappear to the garage. If only we could get away with that today. Of course, we love our children and would never avoid an opportunity to scrub bodily fluids off the floor in favor of rowing.
Quatroux wrote: This must be your first baby. Let me tell you how this works.
You need two things. First, you need to buy a really cheap fan. Put it in the baby's room and leave it on at all times. Tell your wife that the air circulation prevents SIDS. Between you and me, the real reason is that the constant hum of a cheap fan will cancel out any noise you make in the rest of the apartment. It really works! You owe me a beer for this advice. Prepare to laugh at your friends that tiptoe around their house while the baby is sleeping. They are chumps! That won't be you!
The second thing you need is one of those swings that take the big D batteries. You can easily get an hour on the rower while your baby swings side to side. You need to occupy the baby while you row. Your wife will murder you in your sleep if she sees you "detached from everyday affairs" on the rower while she wrestles the baby. She may seem like a nice woman now, but lack of sleep and hormones will change that. They get murderous!
The only thing that would be worse than you rowing in the apartment is if you disappeared to the gym and left your wife alone with that kid. You might as well be playing poker with Candi in the champagne room at your local strip club. Get some headphones. Perhaps the ear buds don't work for you. I got some over-the-ear noise cancelling headphones from Sony for $40 at Sam's Club. They are awesome, but ugly. You're officially a grown man now so you can start to yell at kids to get off your lawn, wear dark socks with shorts (unless you are German and do that already), and let go of any concern about what other people think. You have been liberated!
I enjoy the gym atmosphere and am motivated by being surrounded by others. If you can afford to buy a rower with a baby on the way (congrats on that), do it. Cancel anything you have planned until you and the wife are comfortable leaving the baby with a babysitter AND a public germ factory (ex: the nursery at your gym). That's kind of the test on if you can start to add things back into your life or not. Until then, stick around the house and be one of those new age dads that do everything. Then, you can slowly start to transition into the role model father you and your wife had that disappears to the garage for weekends at a time. Those glorious days have to be earned.

Jamus has me pegged, but I am happily married thanks to that fan. My wife has also filled the garage workspace with junk so my only escape is the YMCA and boathouse... one of which is 4:30 am which means I'm really running away from sleep and not my family.

I hereby DARE you to characterize it to her as such. Unless it's your stuff. In which case I accept your description whole-heartedly.Quatroux wrote: My wife has also filled the garage workspace with junk ...
We live up the street from some good ole boy who has a three-car garage stuffed with junk and car parts, 5 family vehicles, and 3 "project" vehicles he's "restoring". I think there are whole weeks he remains unaccounted for.
