          I notice that when a “NON” gym member breaks a record, you guys usually waste NO TIME in making sure it’s broken by a gym member……hahahaha

            Al, I recall Mike Smith getting a steel plank one time when you challenged him to break the Dino Gym record to get it.

              Ben, Al made three of those, one is in his gym and two got auctioned. They were all identical. I was most impressed that Felecia Simms got 70lbs on that. Well, she impressed me all day!

                Finally home! What a weekend. Great to see all my friends.

                Laynne Burnett: Thanks, Pal, for recovering the sheaves and driving an hour just to get them to me.
                Dave Glasgow: Always a pleasure, brother.
                Scott Tully: Thanks for not punching me in the throat (or elsewhere)and for you donations, I got two and they are awesome.
                Ryan Batchman: Great to work with you all day judging and loading, thanks!
                John O’Brien: Great job lifting and for driving, I don’t think Big Red would have made it!
                Mike Murdock: You know why, you are a great man with a big heart.
                Dean Ross: “I got hit in the face by a sledgehammer…..TWICE”….you are a legend.
                Rudy: I want to be like you when I’m your age….maybe sooner.
                LaVerne: Why weren’t you lifting? Oh, yeah, you didn’t have a DINO GYM shirt!
                Wilbur Miller: I don’t think half the guys there realized they were in the midst of one of the greatest strength athletes of our time!!!!
                Chad: Don’t worry, I only believe most of what Al tells me. And you didn’t outkick you coverage. You deserve it.
                Al: Words aren’t enough…..anchors aweigh!!!!
                DJ, Vince: Great to see NAHA support other organizations….I know “other” groups that would never do that. You are first class in my book.
                Mark Mitchell: “have you lost weight…haha” Great to see you, what a small world.
                Felicia Simms: Are you kidding me! Future women’s world champion in Highland games, mark it down and see what happens. Dave and I both just adopted you….we are your “Highland Games Dads”.
                Eric Todd: Great performance and what a determined comeback from that long ago back injury….you looked as strong as I’ve ever seen you.
                Sam: Every time I looked over, you were putting up bigger and bigger numbers, great job!
                Lance: LPC’s got to stick together. We were all talking later about how you always show up, do your best, and get better and better. That’s what it’s all about.
                Joe Garcia: I was impressed and great to hang out with you all weekend in Al’s secret clubhouse.
                EVERYONE ELSE, great job, great meet see you soon at the USAWA Nationals!!!!

                  Tom, I kept checking back here….wondering!

                      Al, you have to spend extra time in the sauna, which I’m sure you will build yourself with a plasma arc melting furnace and then you must achieve a high level of torpidity with the use of a Caledonian Medicament (scotch) or you may utilize Acetlypromazine if you want to do it right!

                        Tom, reminds me of a comedy show a few years back when the resident goof ball said, “Did you know flammable and inflammable mean the same thing?…boy, did I learn that the hard way”.

                        I agree on the crappy weather putting one in a cranky mood…..I’m there! Ready for some sunshine but I have feeling it will be awhile.

                          Ben….Ben….Ben….would I lie to you!!! HAHA

                          One time my Uncle and his wife went to Vegas. As is often the case, people will give you a buck to bet for them. My aunt played a silver dollar for this guy on a slot and won a couple grand!!! They got back and my Uncle gave him a grand and said that’s what they won on his buck. He was happy, my uncle was happy……see, it all works out!!!

                            First of all, AL!!!! You posted the pictures. I referenced the story from last year and you reviewed it and posted it!!!! If you aren’t careful, I’m gonna start writing twice as much to punish you! haha I’m just soliciting for donations…..and my head isn’t frozen, it’s just locked up with knowledge.

                            Second, Travis, I use a sauna at our Rec center at the Medical school I attend. It is a very nice, high quality one that has a regular heater in it with stones that you can pour water on. They also have a great sauna there as well. I have asked the guy that runs it to get a cold water tank and he said, “You’d be the only one to use it!!” haha

                            When I’m at home, I sit on a milk crate with a small towel for cushion in the shower. I take a beach towel and put it over me, including my head and then turn the water on as hot as I can stand. I then continue to turn it up hotter and hotter. You can get it very hot that way! The towel allows that! I will often do this right before bed as it relaxes me greatly. It’s the poor boy version!!! Thom
