Cannon Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Thanks Jedd We're working something else out assuming it will arrive tomorrow because of no mail today. We'll likely need to do it early next week because of the busy holiday weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeamdman Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Sorry if the gripper did not get there in time. I'm in the middle of a job change at work and Wednesday was the first I could get to the post office. It will surely be there by Saturday if not Friday! Smash it. Thanks for the reply, Jedd! Looks like Monday the 7th might be the best time. We both work downtown and can meet during lunch or after work. We'll confirm sometime today.

Paul Knight Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Dude! Luke! the MM1 called me earlier today and I don't want to even repeat all the names it was calling you! all I have to say is "you better shut that sassy gripper up and show him who's boss" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeamdman Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 We're set for Monday the 7th at my place of work. This will be kinda funny, as we have a dress code in the corporate environment:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 HA! Chalk on the Dockers. Gripper is here. We're set for "high noon" on Monday. Paul, the gripper doesn't sound so confident now. I hear some wimpering from the package... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear some wimpering from the package... I guess he has a cell w/him there in the package cause he just called again to tell you "its not wimpering, its snickering!" ,but I have a strong feeling he won't be so smart after tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeamdman Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Almost had a show stopper today. My wife left our digital camera 1.5 hours south in Owatonna when visiting family yesterday... I got to work and found a camera we can use. We're still on for today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 CERT IS DONE Luke did a big pause on the first try and missed that one. So then the second try he did a more natural set and squeeze and seemed to close it easily. You can even hear the handles click in the video. Then, strange enough, the third attempt was another miss. Lots of respect for this gripper! I got the impression it was a bit harder than he expected, but he had prepared for a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeamdman Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 A big thanks for Matt for all the work he put into this! The knew the gripper would be hard, just not that hard I didn't take it lightly and I'm glad I didn't. First attempt I screwed up the set big time. I felt good at first, but I wanted to make sure the handles were parallel so I let it widen up a little bit and it started to slip. Missed it. Second attempt I just did what I normally do and slammed it shut. In the video you can hear the handles click. Third attempt was another miss. My endurance seems to be lacking lately. I think it's because I've taken reps out of my workout and stick to single attempts. I'm putting reps back in there! This video file is huge because it's .AVI. I'm going to have to mail it to Bill.
