Carrying a 200 lb sandbag 1200 - 1800 feet certainly makes the name Crippler a fitting moniker.

How’s the blood pressure going? Beet juice flavor improves if mix the stuff with fruit juice.

Merry Christmas Crippler. Maybe Santa will bring you a 250 lb (or more) sandbag.

I check my BP daily. It’s much lower. 116/63 yesterday.

Back at it. I had a nice, relaxing day with the family yesterday. At night I went to work to thank all the employees who had to work Christmas night. My wife and daughter made cookies for them as well.

Looking at 2022, I think I will next compete August 20th. So there is plenty to time to work things out.

Bet you impressed neighbors doing that in winter weather.

They would probably think I’m an idiot. We have large one acre lots. The neighbor who is normally spying, I think was out of town. The other one (my buddy Andy) was not outside.
