Bad month for me any way you cut it.  I wish I had a valid excuse but even if I didn't take 10 days off last month for vacation but there there is no denying my training has been inconsistent and poor quality...

titeloops,

Did you wear a wetsuit in Augusta last year?

I understand the water is a bit cold coming down from the mountains in the Augusta River.

I'm wondering if this is a purchase I need to look at making.

Nice!  I'm still undecided between it and NashVegas. 

We have power ... at my office!  But it'll be to more days till we get it at the house.

Victory of the week.  My dad has a 18 year old 5000 watt generator that hasn't been cranked in at least 15 years.  After 45 minutes of tinkering, that baby is purrring.

Good going.  Bet you are happy about that....

Good to hear.  Anyone know how LostSheep is doing?

Sorry Title. I'm here.

I took some time off work and went back to our property to keep cutting what will be firewood. Right now, it's mostly just getting it in managable pieces to put on the trailer and haul home.

I'm good. I do need another chain saw though.

The one I have is about 10yrs old (McCollough) and I just can't keep it running. It seems to overheat and shut down after a while. And the one I'm borrowing would probably couldn't pass as a steak knife...

And yes, my training is slacking...

But, thanks for checking in on me!

Something like this one?

Good job, that's awesome!

Not really what I had in mind, but some folks may like that on a guy.

I was thinking more like this.

Thoughts?  I imagine this would work fine.  I have another race coming up on May 21, that will probably be wetsuit legal, so I could get 2 uses this season for sure.

I know your pain.  My BIL and I ended up having to cut and haul 14ish trees this past week.  The only thing that saved us was that cheapo chain sharpener I got from Harbor Freight.

I'm a big fan of the gothic look, hence, the weskit!

I have a full and a sleveless from xterra, and love em both. However, you may want to keep an eye on bonktown today, as I saw they will have quintanaroo full suit on sale today for over 70% off.

I actually found some new chains for sale this week that I'll put on the borrowed saw and hope it works better. I've loaded an 8x12 utility trailer twice already with firewood. I've loaded it 4 times already with branches and debris.

Looks like I may be heading ot Tuscaloosa this weekend though. They just opened another road that leads to my grandmothers church and it's missing a roof.

We'll see.

I have a full suit from xterra.  I bought it last year when they went on sale.  I've only used it a couple of times but have been happy with it.  I had to return it for warranty work after my fall race last year and the xterra customer service was very good.

Hey Sands, you wearing a wetsuit at Pensacola?

Anyone else joining us?

Holy Cow it's getting close!!

Maybe next years race.  I'm in no shape this year, but the swim will be my focus going into next winter, spring.  I'm hoping to have my biking and running much improved by next year, so I can focus on the swimming.  What better way to do that, than schedule a 5k swim race.

Awesome!  I look forward to that.  To answer Robert:

No wetsuits allowed.  Way too warm for that, anyway.  This year might be a bit chillier water, but I'd welcome that.  To add:  Water in Pensacola Bay is already 77F.  No way you want to be in a rubber suit in that:  http://www.dep.state.fl.us/northwest/Ecosys/waterquality/outlook.ht... one else joining us that I know of.  I had someone that wanted to race, but family issues got in his way.

gloating post here:

I'm down 7 lbs in 3 weeks! Run times are improving proportionately to weight loss. At 170lbs I was in the 9:00 to 9:15 min/mile range on most runs. At 163lbs, my runs are in the 8:30 to 8:45 range. Stoked!
