Nor Cal "Try the Caber" Day

[Alan H]

Throw "party:, yeah, but I threw a LOT! Yesterday was ugly...LOL....Advil is my friend. Today, the knee is up on ice, again to knock down the swelling. Whooiiieee!

I think it was the last 9 weight over the bar throws that did it...

Pics, pics!!!

Sounds like the Nor Cal rabble had a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing with us.

Need more pix! WIthout pictures, it didn't happen. We want proof of W2F clearing 16 feet with sheath toss!

I was having so much fun, I only took two pics that day. Here's one of them, the proof that a trained athlete can turn the caber single-handed while keeping the beer bottle vertical so as not to spill a drop.

Unfortunately, the scorekeepers, photographers, and otherwise reliable witnesses, had kicked back more than a few good brews by that time and were still recovering from the BBQ surfeit.

(Besides, this event is not sanctioned in California... )

The one hander is just sick

So, does anyone have any tips on getting caber splinters out of the palm of one's hand?

I woke up yesterday morning and thought, "hey, I don't feel all that bad!"

Then last night had dance class until 10:00.

Today, I feel like I wish someone had gotten the license plate on that truck, so I can sue for "personal damages"



Be well,

Hey Star, Try the scotch tape trick.Put it on leave it for about an hour or so and it will pull them out. Mrs. kiltedsurveyor

Nor Cal Rabble have all the fun. The noob I might do, but would toss the bottle and still have the caber.....
