We just received word of the latest fitness craze. Keg Lifting,
while wearing a hooded sweathshirt.
Here's a lesson on us, get a 1/2 barrel keg, fill it 2/3's with water (you want
it to slosh around). Pick it up and trot up and down your driveway,
then carry it up and down your rear steps, then attempt to press it.
Do this for 20 minutes. On each bout, vary your grip. Don't wear a frigging hood, it destroys
your peripheral vision, and you WILL fall, then feel like a big moron
when you are explaining all of this in the emergency room.

Brutal week. Floated around for 45 minutes, trying different stuff.
What is with all this endless talk of "tragic loss" with the drug overdose death of this actor Heath Ledger? When members of the military, police, or firemen are felled in the line of duty,
that is truly a loss. A drug addled celebrity screwing the pooch is a blip.
Oh well.

Their diameter is more than 1/2 inch Less than real York 45's. I'm glad I bought them for decoration only.
