JoeGood, you missed the video of the 345 clean! Scared the bejeezus outta me when I watched it…
Mr. Hel, Sir, the faucet story is priceless, gave me a great laugh; thanks for sharing.
My happy face courtesy of a customer.
I dismounted my vehicle while making a quick perimeter scan. Definitely, a hot LZ. Behind a bush, an advant lookout. Having IDed him I checked around for the main body.
There, catacorner to the first, more hostiles. Open ground to be crossed between them and my objective. Moving quickly I made straight for ground zero. Almost there, arm outstretched, daring to hope, I realized my near fatal error. From next door, a third group emerged.
Dropping all pretense and false bravado I threw the mail in the box and ran for the truck. Too late, the first snowball caught me square in the back and was followed by at least 5 more. Snow found it’s way under my collar and down my back.
Finally making it to the vehicle and slamming the door I was foced to witness their primal victory dance as they whooped and hollared. Slowly, humilated, wet and cold, I drove my vehicle to the next block, already planning my awful venegence. Who invented Snow days for kids anyway?
We’ve got snow in Alabama. Not up north snow but for a place with zilch snow handling equipment and experience, enough. Half the roads in the city and county have been closed and we’ve been having wind chill factors of zero. So, having yet to learn when to quit, I take a brothers jeep and head to work.
Bout half of us made it in. “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night…”, etc, etc. Mails got to go out. Couple of over 12 hour days walking in some damn cold weather. So, it’s suppose to warm up tomorrow so hopefully Monday will be back to semi-normal. I kept to my workouts but ain’t gonna brag about no amounts lifted. Damn cold sucks the strength right out of you. Huge quanities of coffee help.

Great training, better eating!! Lets hope for some warm weather soon
That kind of meal deserves a nap after.
Thats a hell of meal, hel.
You’ve got it all backwards. Cold makes you stronger. The heat sucks the strength out of you. Thats what I have to believe living in NH. We had a 2 week summer up here this year. Seemed to go from spring directly into fall.

Cold is the devil’s work. It drops below 60 and I’m shivering like a greyhound.

I’ve suffer a case of automated age discrimination. Signing up for my first T&F meet on line. Since there’s no master’s division I’m entering the open. Put in all my info, including DOB, push enter and get, “your DOB exceeds the allowable parameters.” Emailed the POC who said he’d enter me manually. Guess open usually only allows up to 34.

All Y’all remember to put lots of heat on that shoulder too!
Nice lifting - I’m hoping to get as strong as you when I get old and discriminated.
The purpose of the age restriction is to preserve the egos of the younger throwers, I am certain. You better not beat them by too much or they won’t let you come back.
either that or they’ll lie and say were under 40.
Way to man up and throw in the cold. At 35 degrees all I’m throwing is another blanket on.
