Good Afternoon Trippyville,
I want to say THANKS to everyone for wishing me a Happy Birthday here in the thread and on Facebook. I have been absolutely swamped both at work and at home although not in a bad way. I did see the messages come in but just didn't find the time to get on the ECF.
Since the 6th, I've cut the 5 acres, made 2 trips to Ohio, saw Jeff Dunham with 7 of our friends from the bank suite @ Banker's Life Fieldhouse and now have VIP show/backstage passes (after a lengthy drive to pick them up) for Ron White that I believe includes having a bit of Johnny Walker with him backstage. My hotrod-building cousin was gifted these same tickets by a high-end customer a couple of years ago and MADE me go pick these up from a friend who was selling them way cheap. They typically start at $300 each and are limited to about 10 people. I got 4 of them and my cousin is just ecstatic that these tickets appeared as they are usually available in very sporadic locations. He and Ron became buddies after his first meeting and he wants to introduce us all. I just wish Ron drank Rum or Bourbon as my palate is just not sophisticated enough not to appreciate Scotch. However I'm sure I'll make do ;-) Work is on overload as well so I'm slipping in a quick update while I had a minute.
I'm still 193lbs today so even with the messed up schedule, too much high caloric food/beverages and no workouts Thursday, Saturday and Sunday; I haven't gained a pound. Just 3 more pounds and it's time for a shift in my workout regiment. My goal is to be able to do 50 perfect pushups at my goal weight by my next birthday....Still trying to figure out the goal weight as Mrs. Brew is already giving me a hard time

about losing another 19lbs. I'm negotiating with her but she says 185 and no lower. I told her when I get to 185 then we'll revisit her concerns. It's funny to have a debate over me losing too much weight...
Well, I need to get to it but wanted to be certain to stop in and send some Trippy Love to all the residents of Trippyville. I hope everyone is well.

Brew
