Especially when I have to work on a Saturday and both my little boys have football and soccer games. Fire fighting can be a great job, but sometimes it's not. I would rather be with my family...
Anyway, this has been an okay week. I got to do a TV segment with John Brookfield on the Battling Ropes system. (first time for anything like this; I tried to "be natural" and ignore the camera! ) I got my first article published on Dragon Door's website! I thought that was cool. It can't hurt, right? Also, I got a new chain saw and got to cut up a bunch of trees in the back yard. For some reason, I kinda enjoyed that. And finally and best of all, my mom in law's tumor markers have come down according to her last test results. That's a good thing.

I hear you Tim!
Family always comes first and it is total drag to have to miss events with your kids because of work. But sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to keep the family going!
Your heart is in the right place my friend!
On another note I attached a 10lb plate to the 32kg and was able to get one strict press on my right arm! woo hooo!
Thanks for the tip!
Franz,
That is awesome! Next summer you'll be pressing up the beast with a 10lber taped to it.
Press on!
Tim
I hope so! I'll be satisfied with the BULLDOG for now :)
