  1. I went ahead and signed up for a Sprint Tri this weekend in Tyler as a precursor to next year's CapTex Olympic.  I'm well into marathon training for the Houston and Mt. Charleston marathons next year.  Should be a fun weekend visiting my parents too.

  2. I needed to update everyone on my family dynamic now to set the stage for the 2023 Holiday Thread.

    My SIL and BIL have since gotten divorced (about a week or so ago now) so I won't have the extra angle of my in-laws absolutely shitting on my former BIL any longer.  I haz disappoint.

    We're going to be doing thanksgiving at our place this year which will be nice.  Christmas will be as it typically is.  Just because we're holding thanksgiving at my house doesn't mean there won't be several shitshows going on.  I'm sure my MIL will piss my wife off, my mom will say something to offend someone.  Just wanted to set the stage that thanksgiving won't be the typical entertainment feast like it has been in the past.  Gloves come off at Christmas this year though.

    My SIL who just got divorced has moved to Alaska for the next 6 weeks to be with extended family.  She's been on drugs and alcohol heavily throughout the divorce by way of ex BIL in an attempt to keep her around.  Fuck him.

    Creatine is safe for any and everyone except those with kidney or liver disease. Creatine is also unnecessary for 90% of the population. You need a new doctor.

    This right here.  I'd argue about the 90% of the population thing but it's not even relevant to the question.

    Expect some weight gain as creatine causes muscle to hold water.  I'd say anywhere between 5-7 pounds if you load it (heavy doses right at the start) or slow gradual weight gain as you slowly introduce it (5 grams per day).  I saw some benefits in my performance but not enough to stay on it long-term.  Also, you do get some creatine from red meat but not enough for it to have any benefit alone without straight creatine consumption.  Personally, I don't really think it's necessary at all, but the nutrition industry loves selling shit.

  4. I think what I'm most shocked about regarding Sark (aside from his complete roster turnover and the building that he's been able to do on the OL and DL) is the strength and conditioning program.  It seems like Becton is doing a great job of molding these guys and preventing major and nagging injuries.  Big fucking knock on wood.

    Close. It’s the system, bro. The fucking system that keeps them down. In case y’all are wondering, I’m paying union flaggers over $25/hr right now.  Literally sitting on a fucking stool under an umbrella, not directing shit, for 12/hr day, OT after 8, double on Sundays.  Fuck outta here with can’t sock away $20/week on that.   

    Ahh unions.  The heartbeat of America.
