I saw you can get plastic skis on them. I don’t really care about being loud. The neighbors probably already think there is something wrong with me, from doing sandbags and some of the other stuff.

Ha!! I often tell my wife the neighbors must think I’m nuts.

You are likely each intimidating your neighbors. Bet you’re each enjoying it.

Neighbors comment when my open garage door shows my gym setup. One’s good looking wife actually came into my garage one weekend when I was lifting shirtless and told me I was in great shape. Kinda been waiting for a time to share that.

What’s your prowler weigh?

Just looked it up and the prowler I have weighs 75 lbs. I thought it weighed 65. Your neighbor’s wife knows a good looking man when she sees it. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I was betting you’d push it in the snow. Invincible.

These squats were the hardest I’ve worked in forever. My legs were rubber.

Got my moderna booster today. Feeling good so far. :crossed_fingers:

Mac, it hadn’t snowed yet. But it did last night. I’ve already cleared the driveway and hope to push the prowler tomorrow night.

Eric, I don’t know what got into me. I may never do that again.

I got Moderna booster yesterday too. Pharmacist/powerlifter said 3rd shot was only a half dose, with fewer effects than 2nd, more powerful shot. I’m ok so far too, but had to reduce weights in morning workout. Being vertical this time is a big relief.

Steve, hope you’re enjoying the snow. Had ac on last night and big black winter mosquitoes were around.

No real systems for me either. Maybe a little tired. The rain is melting all the snow today.

After snow-blowing and shoveling I was not excited to workout. But I’m glad I did. Always feel good afterwards.
It snowed 5 inches last night but I got it down to bare tar with the snowblower and shoveling. So I should be able to push the prowler tomorrow night.
