Hi.
Time to post in the love shack/dating forum/oc thread.
Haven't benched this year and prolly won't in the future. It was a blast, especially the away competitions with team mates, but it was getting to the point where I would have had to seriously step up the time commitment to take it further. And I was already spending too much time away from the family.
So now I'm hanging out more with the wife and kids. Got a dog. Getting in shape. And using the $20K/year hardware budget I was blowing on a new hobby with much better resale value - original art. Really looking forward to the painting I commissioned from Julie Bell.
Keep ripping it up guys! And if anybody finds themselves near San Francisco and wants Elano's old dual stage Cascade for cheap, let me know.
