Ok, same picture, you get the idea. I threw it. Thanks Skip, next month I get to play with the American record holder in the shot and several really, really, good, and extremely ugly, guys. Think the streak will end.
Congrats Harry, nothing like winning to put a smile on your face.

So, you’re saying you’ll fit right in with that crowd?
On the skill level, I mean.
Adjust your color George. Real men don’t do pink, they just wear a kilt that’s often mistaken for a dress in their avatar.
Thanks Joe. We were at Hoover High School outside of Birmingham. Started hot, humid, not a cloud in the sky. Then the clouds rolled in and the downpour hit.
sfp, according to Dan John, he was always too good looking to throw the shot very far. He’s got a theory that all good shot putters have to be ugly. Uh oh.
Got woke up real early by phone calls from both my sons. My days made. Couldn’t get back to sleep so headed down to the river with the dogs for a swim. Watched the sun rise up out of the water.
Wife eventually rolled out a bed, ready for the gym. So, while she did her work out I kindda fiddle farted around and watched vids on CMT.

flexibility - laid on couch in the office, stretched legs out, crossed arms over chest, closed eyes, deep breathing. Wife woke me up when she was through and ready to leave. 3 sausage McMuffins and a brain freeze inducing “frappe” revived me.
Big Shindig at brothers farm for Fathers day. I’m in charge of bringing 2 kegs and the wife’s already given me my behave instructions. Off tomorrow so hoping to get to the gym and back to some real work outs.
Hope yawl have a great Father’s Day.
Late to the game. Looks like you have increased your medal count. Glad you heard from the boys. I bet the party was a blast! Good luck on the next meet. I suspect you are going to do better than you think.
Great work Harry, looks like you are on a real tear!
Thanx Wilson and Jack, get a month to get ready for the next one. Really need to work on my form.

Wow you know french, wear a dress, and have a pink towel. Manly.
I just wanted to say I respect the hell out of you man.Here i am freaking out that in a few months ill be hitting 39 years old.I see you at your age still tearing it up.It makes me want to look at myself and tell myself to freaking man up.I tip my hat to you Sir.
MOre bling for the king. You just keep bringing them home.
I think that vid is the first time I’ve heard you speak.
Cool accent. I know, it’s the yankee what has the accent, but cool-sounding nonetheless.
Be right with you, bulldog. Let me take care of the young riff raff right above you first.
MR Username 42, we usually refer to it as “Cajun French”, another one of God’s real chosen people had the camera, a kilt’s only a dress if you wear underwear under it, and that’s my lucky faded BROWN towel. Now, behave, or I’ll hit you with my parasol.
Thanks for the compliment, bdog. Lots of older guys keepin the faith in here. All a matter of attitude. The day you start feelin sorry for yourself or back sliding, it’s over. Beside, I love the whole liftin, competing lifestyle so it’s easy to keep doing it. Nice hat, btw.
Chief you should glue every medal to a wall in your study. You have enough of them to start on a second wall. By the time you got done you would have the fortress of solitude! (Just leave room for the door)

x2 you could build the Medal cave.
you are on a gold collecting mission, nice work
cool accent.
Why did you go with the side scoot? The twirling thing was looking so purty.
Did the parasol help with the sun? (I just had to say that because I don’t think I’ve ever typed or used the word parasol in a sentence before.)
Hey Harry, congrats on the more medals and the more fun. when do you have a dress day, uh, I mean highland games? They only have 1 in utah, and I am going to try and do it this year. of course, practicing first would be ghey, so I will just show up and throw up.

Yes, I dont want a parasol beating, it would be embarasing, and you would have to buy another one. And I know it gets hot winning all the games.
PG, The way the cirles are there it’s almost impossible to get into them without having sand on your feet. First throw; started into my turn and my left food slipped, total meltdown of form, real bad throw. Fellow competitors were most supportive, “You throwin with the girls today, Harry?” Decided to scoot rest of throws.
Kevin, long time no see. What accent?
MJ, May have one on 17 July and a for sure one on 2 Oct. I really liked doing the ones early in the year cause of the weather. Jump in and do the games. One suggestion. Do some single arm snatches and cleans before to get yourself ready. Do you have a kilt? It’s required.
If you aren’t of Scot decent they have them in the service’s colors. Let me know and I’ll point you in the right direction.
Colin and Joe, I’ve got a neat collection of bar lights Ive never (been allowed) hung up. They’d go good with the medals.
After work
1830 and still hot as hell out but I need more discus throwing so headed straight to the school.
Discus
12 wu
12 front
12 Power Position
15 Full form
Literally soaking wet when I got through.
Got home, straight in for a swim, maybe 1000m
i was just gonna take a Marine Corps flag and wrap it around my ass - are their rules on the pattern? 17 July is a most auspicious day (my birthday). I think Meat said he had a meat meet on the 17th also. sadly, the only hg in utah that I know of is in september. single arm snatches and cleans. Can I use a dumbell, or do I need one of them kooky russky things?
I have some Irish (supposedly, and I’m reading all of Roddy Doyle’s books) but no Scots. point me in the direction s’il vous plait. a scarlet and gold sundress is just the thing to make my fellow Marines proud.
swimming 1000m would kill me. you are fully awesome.
