Good looking workout Hel. Is that Highland games in Bama?
It’s in Scottsboro, Ala. Right up by the Tennessee line. Here’s the link to what they’ve got on line so far. Not much on it yet but they say they’ll begin updating it.
Most of the info I’m getting is via email from some of the athletes.
Not much on the website yet. I can barely wait. The annual highland games in this area are coming up in April. I think I’ll at least go watch if I can.
Bench-Squat-Deadlift all look awesome.
Carl, you’d be a natural at the games with your background. The caber and sheaf toss would take you some time and work. Some of the big events have master’s divisions and even under 200# and over 200#.
Thanks Jimmy.
Weather turned nice yesterday, for a day, got some yard work done, and then come evening couldn’t help myself. Went to the river. It was still pretty cold and running a little fast and high cause of all the rain but I managed to get in maybe 200 yards. Felt great afterwards. Came backed grilled up a nice steak smoothered in mushrooms and onions and a big ceasar salad. Sat on the deck,threw some wood on the outdoor fire pit, opened a cold one, tuned in the local oldies station and after much discussion I and the dogs agreed life was good.

The river is about 55 degrees here. Had to go in and fish out a dead pelican. Damn near took my breath!
Sounds like y’all are living large!
Damn it! Weight classes and age groups? I’m trying to avoid another obsession you know.
Throwing logs around sounds like so much fun. And I used to spend summers working on a farm. I’ve thrown a lot of weird stuff around in unusual ways. But doing it wearing a skirt? Maybe this year I can get away with just watching.
j_willy, I once took a bath in a river that was milky from glacial runoff. Couldn’t have been more than 32.1 degrees. Had a terrific headache when I got done. But sitting in the sun on that rock sure felt good afterwards.
We had some bad weather blow thru last night at 9:30pm with hail and wind.It was 30 minutes of wind and rain as all hell broke out.Stay safe bro.
its snowing here again. What do you need to do to finish the kitchen? or, all you all done already?

Use to have to swim in the Berring Sea. Now that was cold. KMCNYC, the post office doesn’t have anything in the way of sports or competition for it’s employees.
MJ, the kitchen is done. I’m goin get some big wife points for being done when she gets home. I’m in the clean up all the mess I made in the garage cutting tile and backer board stage right now. Got one of those silly wives who thinks you should actuaaly be able to put your car in the garage.
Another beautiful day today. Went up to the college and got a lot of throwing in. See how the arm feels tomorrow. Tomorrow, real crappy weather again.
Good for you hel. You seem to understand who’s boss.
Reminds me of what my dad used to say: “You want to watch out for men who say they wear the pants in the family. They’ll lie about other things too.”

i have one of those wives as well. she doesn’t realize that the garage was created to be a workshop. between the drill press, band saw, table saw, chop saw, radial arm saw, lathe, tool boxes various belt sanders, and other miscellaneous tools plus the Harley and bike lift… there’s no room for some foolish car.
My wife too, our little weekend shack the garage, as all the outdoor implements ladders, tools, etc… mulch, hoses
even a chain saw. But someone “cleaned” the mud room into the garage.
Hel I used to watch the throwers in college in the weight room they were animals on the track too.

Which is why we got a bigger garage – to fit the wife’s tools. But a lathe – I need to get one of those too.

Car??? Cars go in a garage? I never knew that…
where do you put your weights if there is a car there?
Glad to see I’m not the only one rules the roost. I wear the dress in my family. I mean the kilt.
Mj, I’ve got shots, disc, hammers, throwing weights, and javelins on “my side” of the garage.

JW has is sign off words of wisdom and MJ his signature line so here’s a parting joke.
Newlyweds were on the first night of their honeymoon. The young man takes off his pants and hands them to his new wife. “Put these on”, he says. She says,“I can’t wear those, they’re to big”. “That’s right”, he says. “Remember, I wear the pants in this family”. His wife slips off her panties and hands them to him saying. “Put these on”. He says,“I can’t get into those”. She says. “That’s right, and you never will if you keep that crap up”.
