| | | A few pictures to remember the season
MAN-O-MAN, did I have FUN this year! Statrted out hitting 4 PR's at the first games and stayed competitive and had a blast the rest of the season. Knee still coming along and a shoulder seperation had me off my game a bit (note: Do NOT play with the Pro Caber when you only weigh 190 lbs), but all in all--GREAT year!
Here's a caber picture. Not sure who looks more intense--me, or the caber  
Here's a stone throw--can you say " PUUUUUUUUUUUUUT!!!"? Ok, so my head and chest are down, but this was AFTER the toss 
And finally--what I think I like MOST about the games. The guys and laughing so hard my jaw hurts. 
Heavens help me--I LOVE our sport.

Now comes the REALLY hard work: Turning this kilted, caber tosser into a "kilted gentleman" for the Opera, Theatre and fund-raising Ball season. Yikes! I'm not afraid of cabers, but Prince Charlie's scare the bajeebus out of me. This is where you, Panche and the rest of the well-turned out members come in

You need not be afraid of the Prince Charlie, when it lands on your toe it hurts much less than the stones and cabers do I'm sure.

That first pic is great, I can't tell if you just hurt something, or you got tazered. Great pics.
