Fred's modified SS Geezer log

[Fred J]

We came through great Bill. A tree fell two blocks away on the electric feed for our street around 10pm way before the storm got here. Probably caused by all the rain the previous 24 hours. It was back on in two hours and it stayed on except for one short outage around 12 noon the next day. The storm shifted well east to around Augusta Georgia so we did not get any real bad winds like they first thought. We got 7 inches of rain in 48 hours which was badly needed so all told it went well. Many other locations were hit badly.

Good to hear! I've got family down in FL that is still without power (maybe on in the next 24 hours) and quite a few trees down, but otherwise good. It's pretty amazing to see the destruction in the region, especially as I had driven quite a few of the roads just over a month ago.

It's just terrible the amount of folks that these storms put a hurt on not to mention the loss of life. I'm sure that some areas will never be the same after one of these storms.

Tired and distracted today. I had to keep working on things so I never was able to finish the rest of this workout. I just went with the flow.

Glad to hear you weathered the storm alright Fred. As for the asterisks in my log, also for pr's, though of course these are just recent bests. If I can keep my hip under some kind of control for the next month, I should be very close to 300 squat and maybe 370 deadlift when I do the mock meet. As for bench, I expect to hit 200, though I'm hoping for a bit more... still, it's comin' along pretty well.

It’s a terrible situation, every year you have this season with insane water/wind situations, and it seems luck is one factor you have to rely on. You never know where the shit will hit. I’m lucky to live in a much safer area on the earth. I’m glad you made it this time.
Keep on lifting bro!

That's the way you have to do it at our age.

I'll be looking forward to see what you can do here in October!

Yes this time of year is bad for Hurricanes. Other times it's tornadoes. Like we talked about the winters here are where you would want to spend to get away from the cold and darkness that you have there. Thanks and we did make it okay because the storm shifted to the east where there are hundreds of thousands of people without power there. Up further north in the mountains whole areas were washed away along with the people.
