Excellent! That means we should have at least 4 competitors. I have 1 registration already.

Ok, seems we are on track to have 5 competitors a month out from the contest. I noticed Frank is in New Mexico already per his FB posts as of yesterday I think.

Hey Martin, tried working out a trip, but it's not happening this year. Sorry to let you guys down, hope you all have fun and records are broken!

Yori - no worries. I know it's not an easy endeavor, especially if you're thinking of driving it.

In his case, it's more like beer money, he's practically running the show, so it's not really an entry fee .... ;-)

Which reminds me, folks should start letting me know if they have any dietary restrictions. I'm planning on having a few trays of bbq from Joe's Real BBQ in Gilbert. That should do us for lunch.

We also seem to be seeing some additional interest perking up. There are at least 2 more folks that seem close to committing.

I won't be going to the contest.

Not sure if some of you know or not but I do home inspections and yesterday I fell through an open air intake grate in a house and into the basement of a house. Cut and banged up but the lower back pain is killing my its like shooting stabbing pain (x-rays show that I didn't break anything) but the doctor thought it was a herniated disk, I saw a chiropractor and they think they are compressed and that if it doesn't get better in few days I should get an MRI. To say the least I won't be lifting anything at all for sometime.

I have never felt this much pain in my life.
