The good-ole-boys even but up with this Yankee now and then. Come on east--put a slappin' on some of the boys here.

    Notice how I invite you knowing that you are FAR from my Masters U200 class
    The real question is, does your A class toss a 16# sheaf or a 20# sheaf? Real men toss a 20 pounder, only boys and old men toss a 16....oh, wait, sorry Pete!

    Ahhh...early 2010 update:

    Weather is a sunny 21 degrees. Windchill finally above single digits--time to throw, eh?

    Hitting stones, hammers all at last year's average--not trying to push anything--focused on form.

    Shoulder is better so WOB feels good. Still going with either hand though. Might as well since my left is as good as my right. This way I'll be in shape and if I'm at a place where I'm missing at one, I can try with the other.

    Caber is ok--picks are cleaner--need a longer caber now.

    Sheaf---well, have you ever really felt what happens to a sheaf bag once it gets a bit of snow packed into it? My fork sux.

    I'm still standing, still throwing and looking forward to the year.

    SURE rub it in big fella! I'll throw the 56 anytime--anywhere. It just weighs a little under a third of my total body weight--so don't stand too close!

    Hey--good for you for helping out at your local games. My opinion--I'd like to see a bit more of that rather than having guys show up at the last minute expecting to be 'taken care of' and then whinning if the last little thing isn't to their liking.

    WALKING on keg work out days? You sir are wise beyond your years! I still stumble and shuffle like a chimp with a rupture for at least 2 days after I work my legs!

    To add another plug for Glasgow for your away game, I learned that Glasgow will host the North American Team Challenge. USA vs. Canada. They have an open AM on Saturday and masters for the first time on Sunday. Still don't know about the two tine fork. But Kerry Overfelt is the AD, so he would be the one to know.
