NewTAN's Third Law of Motion (Page 14)

Like many gyms, I suppose it all depends upon the quality of the owner/coach.  These people have to pass a certification class before they can apply to own a Crossfit box, but how serious they take it is anyone's guess.   I'm sure there are more than a few that pay it only enough attention to get the cert so they can start pulling in the cash..... owning a Crossfit box is nearly a license to print money.

The box my girlfriend has an owner that is extremely serious about making sure people have form correct before progressing  He flat out won't allow people to try things at a higher level if their form isn't good with what they're doing.   Conversely, I've heard stories of lots of other boxes where the owner(s) are less than stellar, to say the least.

We wrote an offer on that house last night.  Now we wait.

I believe I have a mole in my yard. I keep seeing these rasied dirt trails all over the yard. My goal this weekend is to kill  it!

I will update Monday.

Old houses take a lot of work which could be awesome or miserable, depending on your mindset.

An old house can be "fun" just thinking about the potential and possibilities of restoration.  I grew up doing that (not of my choice!)  so I have become pretty savvy at doing restoration and repairs.

HOWEVER, old houses do lack some of the really slick modern conveniences plus they take a lot of work and you never feel like it's done.  Working on an old house could be a full time job as WELL as a feeling of constantly hemorrhaging money for improvements.

in Winnemucca , we lived in a rented home in a decent mobile home park. I also managed a business. There was a lady in town who made a living getting rid of moles and voles and what not. I hired her to deal with the issue at the business and she was "the Vole whisperer". She quietly studied the patterns, set her traps, and took care of it. While talking to her, I mentioned that we had an issue where I lived, and found out she had a contract with the trailer park. Cool. She shows up one morning and begins her zen like study. mr Booty, home from the bush in Guyana at the time, notices someone outside. He goes out on the porch, in a sarong, bare chested and bared footd, long hair all wild. Looking like the wild man of Borneo. They startle each other. She says - "oh - you must be Mary's husband..... I'm here to take care of the voles". He dead pans "yes. She ordered me off the internet." I'll be damned but she was at my admin assistants house that night asking her if that was true. Mr Booty was a bit exotic for Winnemucca....

. That is my vole story. Good luck

Damnit.  

That "Lucy" body marking thread that popped up in TriTalk made me sad.  I started thinking about her which then got me to thinking about jdwright and now I'm all misty eyed at my desk.

doctor was a big waste of time.

it's not a fracture, so that's nice, but only direction i have is continue to do activity as long as it doesn't hurt and come back for an MRI and i'll follow up in 2 weeks and do what?  tell you to rest?

is there ANY REASON on earth i should waste my time and money on the MRI/followup appt if all 3 possible outcomes just mean i have to rest?

and in the meantime how do i not go BAT POOP CRAZY not being able to do anything i like?

So what exactly is wrong/hurting? the ankle still?  Pm me if you want and I will try to help

Seeing the thread about the name of BT and if it needs to be changed in Tri Talk quickly turned into a "back in the good old days of BT" memory trip where people started talking about what they like before the redesign. One of the most mentioned things was the inspires that no one seems to leave anymore. So I got to thinking, do any of you leave inspires anymore or even receive them? I can't remember the last time I left one or got one...

(And no, I am not fishing for inspires!)

Why would that make you feel like a "fattie"?
Without being there, it sounds like the volunteer was trying to be helpful and organized. Asking 3x if it was your first race was probably overkill, but at a "short sprint" I imagine it's a lot of people's first races, and they might have been trying to re-assure newbies and make them feel more comfortable by walking them through an organized check-in (certainly better than no organization! That is the worst!). Again without being there, I wouldn't have read much into that at all.

I do (both give and receive), but only to people who I interact with regularly. 

Lucy was before my time on BT, but I do remember jd and miss him around here!
