    I can imagine the joy in any housemates over the years when you break out a few lines.

    My CW McCall bucket list might be to get a CJ5, drop the 4 miles down to Old 30, head west, take a detour to Pisgah, stop at the Old Home Filler-up an' Keep on a-Truckin' Cafe (currently Dave's Old Home Cafe), jump back on 30 taking a detour again to see if the sign at the tunnel really says, "Clearance 12 Feet."




    Appreciated.
    BUCKET LIST Sounds good!
    Drove Wolf Creek Pass while playing "Wolf Creek Pass". (still need to take the 30 detour)
    Rode on the Silverton.
    Tried to stop at the Old Home Filler-up and Keep on Truckin cafe, but my late night map reading skills failed me. (pre smart phones)

    Counting to 5 is difficult, higher is much worse. Any of these rows/curls could have been 9, 10 or 11.

    Couple of word changes for Kern's bread truck.

    Dio uses 3 or 4 variations of the lines above in the song. Maybe RJD deadlifted?? Nah.

    1) Two bench work sets?

    2) Still having to clean your presses?

    I was a tad under the weather. Thought about not training (hence only two worksets for both lifts, no accessories and no squat/dl on Tue).

    Both sets easy. Considered 3rd, decided that I was happy with two. Press really sucked, but IIRC the M and L days of intermediate always feel heavier than the mind thinks they should.

    No. Cobbled together a one position press rack in the barn a couple of years ago. The right leg is a center beam 8" x 8" with left being a 2" x 4." Both have a short 2" x 4" screwed to the front of the leg as the primary support with another short 2x on the side at a slight angle to keep the bar against the supports. I leave my cheap 33lb bar in the barn with a bunch of 10's and a few 5's. Time to pick up a set of 25's so I can put the hex ones in the barn.

    Not bad for training with (probable) COVID. Two positives in the household. I've had a few symptoms - but not the tell tale loss of taste/smell. If this is COVID, I had it the 1st week of February along with many others in my local area.

    Dropped one press back-off and two cgbp accessory sets.
