Richmond Crew...

[scotbybirth]

It's almost time to set up the field. I hope that all of you have had a great off-season and enjoyed this wonderful weather. Just a couple of things before we set out to start regular training: Our host needs our help in moving/cleaning up some left-over wood (moving it to one of the barns if I remember correctly), and also helping clean up the small barn (where we keep the implements). There may be one or two other items that have not been discussed at this point, but she really needs our help before we start practicing. I'm hoping to set a weekend (Saturday) within the next 2 or 3 week to get this done. I will be meeting with her this week to further discuss this. I will post this when I find out. Second: Not sure of what a regular training schedule may be so are there any ideas? Thanks everyone! See all of you soon.

I think Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday worked well. just my 2 cents...

[ADaniel]

Tues, Thurs, Sat sounds good, if I don't take Gunny's training advice -

That's why I recomend you sit on the sofa and limit yourself to 12oz curles, channel changers, and ab scratches 5 nights a week

But those 12 oz. curls are a little much, might back it down to 6 or 8 - don't want to get too bulky...

[scotbybirth]

Those days sound good. As far as helping out at the barn, I spoke to Coleen and we came up with 3/26 (last Saturday of March), let's say we meet at 10am? It is very possible that there may be 2 other days she will need help as well. See you all very soon.

[TheHammer]

last saturday of march is 3/27. That day is fine with me. I swiped a few implements a couple months ago and have been throwing in the backyard a bit.

[TheHammer]

i swung by BJ's and got a case of water, Vitamin Water, and Gatorade. I'll stock up the fridge as soon as i get there saturday. See you guys tomorrow.

[ADaniel]

Thanks, Dave!

Right now the fridge is out of commission - doing a major revamp in the barn - but it will be up and running as soon as it can be moved to its new location. But go ahead and bring the stuff out and I'll store it until things get sorted out. See ya tomorrow - bring some work gloves...

[TheHammer]

we can stick it in the stall we are using, it will be sorta cool that way, I won't be bringing work gloves, i have plenty of callus accumulated and gloves just make my hands sweaty.

[ADaniel]

LOL - We will be moving a bunch of wood, so outside of splinters you are good to go...

Also, lunch will be provided - nothing fancy, just hotdogs and fixings!

[ADaniel]

Got the game plan from Coleen for tomorrow, already got a bit of a head start on it...

Go ahead and bring some chow/snacks, etc. - I will probably bring some fruit, brownies to go around... thanks, guys!

[TheHammer]

we on for practice this evening?

[ADaniel]

I'll be there!

[TheHammer]

Worked on stone, HWFD, and Heavy Hammer today. I was only there for an hour, but it was pretty much throwing or shagging the whole time so i'm beat.Not real pleased with distances, but i am starting to feel like my technique is coming along. Looking forward to getting some serious drills in before SoMD.

[TheHammer]

Hey gang, i have to stay at work a little later than normal, but I will be coming out to the field unless we get another monsoon. Also i brought the last spare poles i have for the sheaf rig, only 4 of em. We break any more and we will have to come up with a new rig...

Hey Trevor,
We throw from about 6 to 7 on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and 10 to whenever on Saturdays at High Meadows. I don't know the address, but i think Chris or Alleyson can get that for you.

[TheHammer]

Looks like we are in for some rain this weekend, if it is raining on Saturday I won't be out, i only like throwing in the rain when it is cold lol.

[TheHammer]

Just a heads up, i won't be coming out to practice today, still trying to recover from whatever this crud is i came down with.

[TheHammer]

Neal why don't you come over and get some practice in on saturday? See if we can't get some PR's for you at the beach...

[scotbybirth]

Depending on what time I finish with my appointments tonight, I may or may not be out to practice. Sorry for the late notice.

[TheHammer]

I won't be out this evening, i managed to tweak something in my shoulder yesterday so i'm going to take the extra day of rest.

[scotbybirth]

Sorry to hear that... see you on the field Saturday! Gene is starting at 9am?

[TheHammer]

Yeah i believe that is the start time, don't forget you need to bring sheets, blankets, and towels. You guys get a queen size bed. Just txt me if you have any questions.

[TheHammer]

Just an FYI I won't be out this evening if it is raining, otherwise see you at 6:00. Also, we starting earlier than normal on Saturday? I can be there as early as 8, just let me know

[scotbybirth]

Because of work, I will not be out this evening or Saturday (I have meetings starting at 8am running through mid afternoon)... I'm trying to re-establish my schedule to allow Tuesday and Thursday evenings, so until then, I'm trying to practice when I can, which looks like what few hours during the day... Saturdays are pretty much unaffected (with the exception of an occasional early client). I'm hoping to have everything back to normal in the next couple of weeks.

[TheHammer]

Looks like we are going to have some rain and thunder this afternoon, so i won't be out this evening. Be there thursday, need to get some sheaf throwing in...

[scotbybirth]

Sounds good. See you around 9.

[TheHammer]

you guys coming out today?

[NickDeLuca]

I figured I'd re-post in a location more suitable for the Richmond area guys. The Gayton Kirk Demo is coming up Sat. Sept 11. Same as last year, 2 quick shows and a free lunch in between. About 1 mile up the road from my shop, so I'll gladly up the bribe with free gelato. Let me know if you are interested. Please help, it is lame having to do it alone (like so many other things I can think of). E-mail - delucagelato@gmail.com

Hey Nick, I may be able to do it... let me check a couple of things first.
