Tumbleweed

As out intrepid athletes prepare for competition we find the weeds have grown long in the battleground...



... and then the weeds finally died....



...and are blowing around this blog like tumbleweed in the wind.


C'mon fellas!!!

Procrastination Central

Well if the award were given based on avoidance of the competition it might be a close call... any time one of you wants to get this show on the road by setting a date for the first contest...? Perhaps I could suggest Pinball at the Oarhouse on Friday after work???

Warm Up

The stakes (steaks?) were high for the warm-up for this competition which saw the boys involvement in a beefy competition of appetites. Mmmmm... Lamport tablet steaks...

Good for the waists of those involved that this wasn't a best 4 out of 7 contest!

I personally think it's just a procrastination on the 40 yd Dash.


Oh and the result... a tie...
