    Well, I don't remember a lot of detail, I'm waiting for the official postings but I know I took 2nd in weight for distance and 3rd in the caber. You'll have to wait until Beer Friday for the particulars. I also did a "non-tradtional" event...the anvil toss. Yup, you pick up an anvil, walk up to the trig and throw it as far as you can! Got 5' 11", not bad I guess. But like I said, the best part was the people!

    First attempt, miss handled the pick for a no toss, but turned it the next 2 tosses! I want another attempt at that caber you made to see if I can get that one to go.

    Tim, I love the order of your concerns-not making a fool of yourself being more important than not hurting yourself ! Looking forward to details on Friday.

    Be well,
