Glad I’m not the only one. Someone asked me if had had watched any of the memorial. I didn’t even answer. My look was enough. My issue is not with him as an individual. He was a great entertainer. I am just nauseated by the culture in general. I could careless which stars are dating, which are breaking up, what they are wearing, when they are slumming, where they were seen, blah, blah, blah… Its a sad world where our priorities are so twisted that this can trump the war(s), economy and myriad other issues that directly affect peoples lives.[/quote]

Went over and read some of the powerful women threads. Impressive
Got an e-mail about the highland games on 18 Jul. I’ll probably be competing in the open division again.
I can butcher a power snatch better than anyone, and usually its less than 100 lbs! Damn good lifting big guy. Kind of late to the party, but that was my feelings exactly about Micheal Jackson
Damn it was hot and humid on the route today. Cicadas were singing and the June bugs were swarming so bad they were bouncing of me. Got to the gym and had to dry off so I could change into my workout gear and get sweaty again.

got home, 2 of the dogs following in my wake, strippin down as I crossed the yard, hit the water. Not much swimmin, just lay there in the shallows with the dogs using me as a pillow. My 3 day weekend starts tomorrow so get to hit the gym real early. Working on extending the patio for the wife so gonna be doing a little diggin. A gym a little closer to home just began advertising 24/7 on its sign so I want to go take a look at it. Maybe they got a senior citizen discount.

Then went to Lowe’s and ordered everything needed to build a shed out back. Gonna be 12’ x 16’. They deliver everything next week then I get all the relatives over for a “shed raising”.
Went and checked out the new gym. Really nice and had all the essentials. 2 power and a squat rack. Wood platform with a sign saying “deadlifting only”. Two sides to the building. One has all the cardio stuff and the other all the weights and machines. Gonna join. The Mil press didn’t help any Littlestrick but being retired military did. Got me a discount. Cute little thing working there offered to show me how some of the stuff worked and I just had to let her.
Hoping to get some throws in tomorrow and a good swim. Hope all have a good weekend.
Hit the river before sun up today. Good long swim. After that the throws.
28# and 56# for distance = 10ea
56# for height = 10
heavy hammer (22#) = 5
Went down the road to the cafe and let Marie cook me up a big ole breakfast. She’s a cousin. Came home to play with my new toy. Ordered a USB turntable and it arrived yesterday. Hooked it up to my puter and been recording and convertin 45s and LPs all day. Best of the Doobies is on right now. Goin out to eat at a fancy steak house later. Rock on and have a groovy weekend.
