It was smoking hot at the Livermore Highland Games with the Nor Cal Rabble...

Tim C, Panache and the F-H.C.A.G.

Xena always wants to say Hi to TimC. For a big, shaved-head tattooe'd bruiser...OK, "mediumweight" bruiser, TimC is a favorite with the kids.

Just about to kick out for an Open Stone toss...

TimC on the "Lion" caber. BTW, Tim is wearing the Coast Guard tartan.

This next series is soon-to-be X-Marker (I'm workin' on him! He's been to two Nor Cal Rabble parties, now!) Charlie R. who is coming along *just fine* is the C class, in the Heavy Athletics. Charlie was the only C athlete to turn the caber and he didn't just "turn" it...it BOUNCED.................ALL THREE times. Charlie totally dominated the stick.

Charlies lady, Elissa came to cheer him on.

But you gotta watch out at the Games, there's many a lad with an eye for a pretty lass!

I think that Bunchdescendent got away without his family putting him in debt at the vendors tents!

And here's perennial X Mark lurker and party-attender, Casey, who is for sale for $50, if he can hear you make an offer to purchase!..... (actually it's his baldric that's for sale, and I got this shot as the Gatling gun was going off...)

Soon to come...video of TimC at the Weight over the Bar!

On Sunday, my good friend and practically untouchable Masters Athlete, Jim Walker took some great shots, as well. DANG, I almost look like I know what I'm doing!

While most of my marks weren't that great on Sunday I did notch a PR in the Open Stone and came within a fraction of an inch of clearing 13 feet in the Weight over the Bar.
