    A few pictures to remember the season

    MAN-O-MAN, did I have FUN this year! Statrted out hitting 4 PR's at the first games and stayed competitive and had a blast the rest of the season. Knee still coming along and a shoulder seperation had me off my game a bit (note: Do NOT play with the Pro Caber when you only weigh 190 lbs), but all in all--GREAT year!

    Here's a caber picture. Not sure who looks more intense--me, or the caber





    Here's a stone throw--can you say " PUUUUUUUUUUUUUT!!!"? Ok, so my head and chest are down, but this was AFTER the toss



    And finally--what I think I like MOST about the games. The guys and laughing so hard my jaw hurts.




    Heavens help me--I LOVE our sport.

    Thanks McMurdo! Now comes the REALLY hard work: Turning this kilted, caber tosser into a "kilted gentleman" for the Opera, Theatre and fund-raising Ball season. Yikes! I'm not afraid of cabers, but Prince Charlie's scare the bajeebus out of me. This is where you, Panche and the rest of the well-turned out members come in

    I think it will take less work to turn you into a gentleman than it would to turn me into a heavy event competitor. You need not be afraid of the Prince Charlie, when it lands on your toe it hurts much less than the stones and cabers do I'm sure.

    You just described caber tossing perfectly! If you're not hurt or feeling 'tazed' you really didn't try

    I'm a big guy, but I feel that way just looking at some of the heavy events. I am a bit athletically challenged though!
