    Throw Party-NorCal

    Thought I'd post a few photos of the little throw party that Alan H arranged this past Sunday. It was just as much fun as last time, but I was wiser and didn't try to do everything this time.


    Here's how I spent a great deal of the afternoon:






    Panache, on the other hand, did a bit more than was wise.




    Here's the result:






    We started with a little lecture on technique (note the real highland athletes in this photo and in many of the ones to follow-they're the big guys with the muscles! )






    Then everyone tried the stone throw, after Alan demonstrated:





    Bob (Smayniac):







    Jamie (Panache):








    Myself (note that I'm less than enthused-I can't seem to figure out how to do this without hurting myself):




    More photos tomorrow-it's late and I want to go to bed.

    Be well,

    Hello The F-H.C.A.G., what a great way to spend an afternoon,
    Highland athletes and a much deserved snooze.

    Looks like a great time to me! Jamie's technique isn't half bad for such a willowy man.
