Looks like the numbers are starting to go up again, Art, and 28 dips is pretty damn good.
Barry, you’ve got to have the strongest back around. Gonna start callin you the crane.

Thanks Harry but very form challenged. If I had Jimmy Ts form and if I could fly, I could pull 6. And to think a quack chiropractor failed me on a physical at a brick plant in the off season from the minors for a weak back when I was 23.
Things are gonna be hectic for me for the next couple of days…I made the time now to sit in front of this computer to wish all my friends in Iron, Mike, Barry, JimmyT, Colin, hel, and all the rest, a Happy & Healthy Thanksgiving to you & yours!

Barry - you never cease to amaze me! You still haven’t reached your true potential yet, but boy when you do, watch out world! Hope your holiday was a good one.
Mike, Barry, & hel - Once again, I look to you guys for inspiration & you never fail to do just that. At this stage of the game, I realize what drives us comes from within, that’s what separates us from the norm…but having the best damn “cornermen” like you helps as well…THANKS!
