Thanks Jason, go ahead and sell it to them.

hey guys just got word that there will be no goosebay show this year. They are looking foward to 2010. This will be a good break for all involved, and I know i will miss it this year.

Hey Framer i got your message i'll give you a call this weekend

Hey alex good luck with the knee. I was going to have that done with mine in 2001 and didn't , And my knees are finaly 100%only took 7 years. But what I did find is the more blood you get to them the better. This = Tire drags. walk backwards draggind a light tire and keep adding weight the longer the pulls the better and lots of sets. ask anyone who has done these with me they are the best thing for putting blood on the knees.

Hey guys well I finally got my knee scoped today! Everything looked pretty good in it. Only took 2 yrs for an appointment. Hopefully this will keep it from swelling up on me. I have actually been doing some gym training the last 2 months!! haha...trying to get my ass in shape for once......I am still looking for sponsors for the lightweight show and as soon as I get something I'll get more info. Looking more like June or so for a date. I'll keep you updated. Too bad you can't keep up the web site Grant after this year, it will be a big loss if nobody picks it up!!!

sounds good. i'll tag along

sounds good. I will be there around 12 noon.

Training most likely. You in?

What are you doing Sunday Framer?

sounds good big guy, thanks. i found the post from a few pages back

Hey Grant, when we going to get together and get some training in?

Jay you will know when we know, There has been a early list posted on the message board. Other than that we are just tring to light a fire under us just to want to put this on again, But I will say this is the last year for ACSA. It is coming to an end after this season. If someone is interested in taking it over they can but I just think I am done with the whole thing. The guest book is paid for 2 years so that will still be there but that is it. The website will end October 1st 2009.

Hey guys just a heads up or reminder that If you plan to fly even in Canada this year you will need a passport. you can dowload all forms at www.passportcanada.gc.ca
so If you plan to go to goos bay this year this will include you.

Is anyone interested in going to florida this year, I am looking for someone to help with the driving, If not I will just fly. The contest is April 17th. in Orange County.

still curious about atlantics. any events certain? as well as the date and location? i havent been so excited for the season to start in a while. any links to something like2009 competitions? i know the site is under construction so i figured id ask. also im living back in yarmouth now. ive been spreading the word on strongman down here and everyone ive talked to about it loves the idea and thinks seafest would be perfect. mnight not be doable for this summer but maybe next summer.

Ya I don't know if we will ever top terry. he is the Grandfather of strongman man.

hey jason, about your comp, if you make it light enough i'll try to get there.
i'm getting pretty old and feable, not as old and feable as terry though.
take care. tim
