The Silo Back Blast – 7.30.18

After a long day on the lake yesterday, I woke up this morning feeling quite sore.

As I pulled up theContinueContinue reading “The Silo Back Blast – 7.30.18”

Back Blast #TheBlender 7/25/18

After falling prey to M’s (not pointing fingers) deceitful ploy to hit Gustavo’s for dinner last night (That’s right, I take no responsibility for the half basket of chips!), I knew this guy needed a special weinke this morning to shed the guilt.  After thinking about all of the things that I most agonized overContinueContinue reading “Back Blast #TheBlender 7/25/18”
