2 Great Deals In One Day


I started today by hitting a yard sale on the way home from work. Check out this awesome USA-made Fish Skinner. I am not sure how it works but it looks like the fish is smashed into the device and you pull on it and the skin comes off. Weird but worth a try!





Later on I hit the Reading Gun Show and found this Force Protector FOR 65 Deployment Bag. Two weeks ago I had never heard of this company. I was on a United flight with about 20 USAF Security Police troops. I looked out the window as their gear was being loaded into the cargo hold. I saw their bags and noticed that they had shoulder straps, carrying handle and wheels. What a concept!

I actually could read the tag and Googled their website. The bag costs $465.  Today I got a brand new one in USMC coyote color - $150. I am greatly looking forward to trying it.

Karma


I don't believe in Karma but if I did, there would be special rewards for people who pick nails out of parking lots and roads. We all know where this one would eventually end up.

The Burpees Continue


Today is Day 42 of the Royal Burpee Challenge. Things are going well and I was back to normal after a pretty stiff/sore day yesterday.  Here are two pics of me banging out my daily burpees while in Missouri for St Patrick's Day.
Obviously that is the arch and the 2nd picture is at the edge of the Mississippi

Shamrock Shake


I have one shamrock shake each year. I do not really like the taste. Or the texture. Or even the ultra-fake green color. I just do it because it is a sign of my favorite holiday, St Patrick's Day.

Today after the WOD I realized I did not have one this year. It has been at least 15 years since I have missed a year.

So, I lopped off the cherry, dumped the whipped cream in the trash and sucked it down. 

Tradition continued.
