Cold and frozen. Its still only getting down to to the mid 30’s here. And light jacket temps during the day. Good to you the Missus is healing up well. Are you timing your sprints?
we are getting some snow now, but it was up to 50 yesterday, and all our old snow melted off in the rain.
tradition requires that I shovel snow at least once on christmas day, so i’m sure we’ll get some snow. still. freezing in Alabama is just wrong
hang in there brother Harry! just one more delivery day to go
Merry Christmas Harry. God bless.

They bounce back quick, don’t they. My wife had surgery last week, already back to walking. Still sleeping a lot, but we had a great day today.
Wish you and yours well, and a Merry Christmas.
Hope the Christmas tree was loaded with presents big man.
has the work craziness started to back off a little yet?
Hello, 55 year old MWM, been lurking for several years so I thought I’d start a log here in the old fart’s forum and entrall yawl with my herculean feats and general insightful comments on life and everything.
Wait, it’s me! Take me back, please! I’ll behave, lift, post, make insightful observations, I promise!
Been a while, been very busy.
Since we pretty much operate on reciprocity in this forum I’ve been very remiss in posting to anyone’s postings, mia culpa and my apologies.
My feeble, and long winded, excuses.
I was kidnapped by a band of marauding, sex starved, nymphomanics and forced to satisfy their wanton, depraved, desires. Repeatedly. And often, too!
The reality is (just in cased you believed the above), been working lotta hours. Postal Service refuses to hire people, vacation slots are maxed out, several people down with assorted injuries, general heavy volume this time of year, Yeah, wwwwwhhhhhaaaaa!!! So, it’s been work, gym, repeat. Getting off work around 1900, hitting the gym, home, bed. Haven’t been home early enough to get any throwing in. Been doing my swimming at the in door pool.
Been doing a bb routine more or less and kinda been on cruise control. No big numbers but enough to keep sane.
So where were we.

Thats some damn fine pressing Harry. The lifting looked good too.
Missed your humor Harry. Welcome back!
nice work- welcome back
and thanks for taking one for the team
Someone had to take a stand against those she-devils. I… was gonna throw in a bawdy cadence call but decided not to. Thanks all for still stopping by. Soon as I start cryin in my beer bout how hard I’ve got it at work, bam, 8 hour day. Took a no lunch so I was out the door at exactly 8 hours. Hit the gym after grabbing a coffee.

Been a few months since I did a good deadlift session and today felt great. Something cathartic about good, heavy deads. Felt good til near the end and stomach started rumbling. Really had done a no lunch, or breakfast.
Got a email from my high school girl’s champion discus thrower. Says they’re starting to throw. Gotta try and get out ther with them.

You’re still a stud. Pulling 475 for three singles without eating breakfast or lunch. Do the high school girls call you grand dad?

I think you need to get out more, Carl.
Sorry I haven’t been around much.
Love the title, jealous of the Hammer Curls…
Omg! I never noticed but the Pooh Bear don’t wear no drawers! What was that there Robin’s boy up too?!!
Thanks George. Just tryin to get back in the race with you guys makin all the gains.
This is the deep south, Steve. They mainly just say “yes suh”, bat their eyes, and get their way. My main girl calls me “Onkel” (uncle) as we mainly speak in German and I know her and her parents socially. Her Mom and Dad both competed for Lithuania (pentathalon and 10,000m, respectively). Her Dad’s an engineer working for a company here. Most Lithuanians speak German so we just kinda got use to using it. Ain’t America great?
No problem Null. I ain’t been round much myself. Hammer curls are about the only thing I ever do for the bicep so I got pretty good at them.
No lifting after work today. Hit the indoor pool.
1500m swim, nice and leisurely
Been left to my own devices tonight and most of tomorrow. Wife, some nieces, couple sister in laws, friends (4 cars worth) headed over to Tunica, MS and the casinos for the night so it’s just me and the dogs. Cooking up a mean Beef Stroganoff right now and finally gonna watch the Expendables and Machete on the DVD. Gotta a couple of real Oettingers (beer) in the fridge to help me finish up the night watchin adult swim (anime). Gonna hit the gym real early. Weather is suppose to turn real bad late Sunday night. Guess yawl up the east coast are getting it now. They’re talking up to 6 inches of snow in Alabama. Bubba don’t do snow real good!
