The Implements

The first Strongman Saturday went off without a hitch and I was delightfully surprised at the turn out, we had 8 guys in total.  The cookout almost didn’t happen however as we thought the park possessed grills, which was not the case.  After procuring some grills from the local 99 cents store we were in business.  Our shopping cart (used for carrying our equipment) created a nice level surface and before you knew it we were grilling in style.  We did have one run in with the police during our cookout, apparently they thought are kegs were full of beer and that the five of us remaining were going to consume both of them.  I explained what we were doing with them and showed him our empty keg, but it wasn’t until the police officer got a smell of Greg that he believed we had been working out.  It’s going to be a good summer.
