Well I survived a shoulder MRI, an echocardiogram and a PET scan so far this week. Let's see, magnetic radiation, sound radiation and F18 (iostope of flouride) radiation. Not sure what that means....

Playing around can be good. Sometimes one needs to goof off to find out what you want to be serious about.

What was the point of running the locomotive into the train car?

I think middle age can probably be defined when most of us start thinking about "the long game" (for those of us who ever do). Of course, the over achievers start in high school and are retired by middle age. Congrats on taking a long view!

What does SCA stand for?

Good luck. When is the little one supposed to arrive?

My eyes are wobbling. And you gotta have this..

Well, I'm registered for the USAPL Raw Nationals in October. The good news is that I only have 1 competitor. The bad news is he is a beast.

Congrats for sure. The Anytime Fitness closest to my house has started adding more strongmanish things. A fake tire (really a doughnut..only 135#..I can flip it with one hand), chains, trap bar and this week...a prowler sled thing....will try that soon.

Well that lady sure messed up plans. More details later. Ok, time to update this thing. Since we are in the center of the state and on the highest ridge in the pennisula and in a new build designed for 150MPH sustained winds. We stayed put. Got some water in through one of the east facing roof vents, which will lead to some new ceilings, but other than that we did fine. about 2 1/2 days on generator power. Things I need: my own generator and at least 1 portable AC unit and some more gas cans (looks at map for Maria). Winds in the area topped out about 95 MPH. I lost over a week of training what with prepping, etc. Roster for the nationals were released, and it looks like I'm going to be either 1st in my division (if he doesn't show) or 2nd (if he does). Hard to believe there are only 2 of us in the entire country. (see the comment below for details). My right shoulder is still sore, but getting better. Haven't gone over 225# on the bench in 6 weeks. MRI Monday morning to see if I really hurt it or not. Cancer we're still in a holding pattern on (PET scan tomorrow). My PSA has crept up, but we can't anything anywhere...oh well. I'm ramping up my weights this month. Looks like I'm really going to be concentrating on squat and deadlift this cycle because of the shoulder thing. Travel continues to be crazy with a trip to Ohio and a long trip to south Florida (maybe) already on the books. should keep me busy. Oh yeah, videos from Sunday night/Monday morning Our front door/porch faces west and the wind was from the east. I stepped out of onto the front porch for this one. Winds probably around 70MPH. The stop sign ended up twisted about 90 degrees https://photos.app.goo.gl/6gtVnEKgGgx678v53 This is looking due west from the porch. To my amazement, none of the 75' tall pine trees on the top of the hill went down. Couple of big limbs fell of course. Older areas (10+ years old) were hit much harder with limbs down and shingles off. A couple sections of that white fence disappeared. Wood and vinyl fences in general did not fair well. Surprisingly to me, the screen "bird cages" over the pools held up very well. The only ones I saw badly damaged had limbs on them. https://photos.app.goo.gl/4g1WR9Rpqv3kukFT2

Been busily traveling, working and lifting. Had an MRI on my prostate this week. Everything is still clear, despite the rising PSA. PET scan for looking at soft tissue is next. Totals this week Monday 8/28 21,335# Wednesday 8/30 17,588# Thursday 8/31 21,560 Friday 9/1 28,600 Hitting the legs and accessories hard because my right should still has a catch in it. Should be getting an MRI on that soon as well.

And the humor. Guy has a pretty dry sense of the funnies (watch Commando). For all his accolades, doesn't seem to take himself too seriously.
