Criky - I can even lift most of that stuff! Shame it's so far away.

QUOTE (Chris Rice @ Jul 25 2010, 01:34 PM)  Criky - I can even lift most of that stuff! Shame it's so far away. I'm not that far Chris, come stay with me and make a weekend of it, we can drink a couple beers and talking about lifting stuff. I live in a bigger house now (same town), so plenty of room for you to stay. |

Aug 23, 2010 around 5pm I will be helping Kenny promote the contest at the University YMCA in Charlotte, NC. Implements will be there for ANYONE to come try out, this practice session is to increase interest among potential competitors. I'll bring some stone tacky so guys can have at the Atlas stones.

This country is just too darn big - so many things I want to do and simply can't fit it all in.

Anson has invited me down to compete in this but I won't drive down by myself - anyone interested in going and keeping me awake? Anson said we can stay at his place so no hotel cost etc.
