Hey Ya’ll,
first of all, this isn’t a “praise me” thread in any way. Just thought I’d share a bit of a benefit of our mutual hobby.
I was at the river today with the lady, and there’s a small dam there. A lot of people like tubing this river, and the river authority created a small bypass on the river for people floating.
Anyhow, this mid-twenties girl got stuck in the back flow of the dam and was pulled up by the wall of it. The river is high, so for perspective, her tube was about three feet below the lip of the dam, with water cascading on top of her.
My wife saw it happen, I was busy swimming and chatting shit with some random people. She grabbed me when people started screaming for help when the girl’s tube capsized. A couple dudes tried to pull her out from the top of the dam, but the water flow was too much.
My candy ass ran out on the dam and grabbed her and basically performed a sled drag (obese chick with waterfall pressure, instead of sled and weights) 50 feet across the dam to safety.
tbh I didn’t think much of it until a couple people came up and thanked me.
turns out, being strong as fuck is useful. Keep pumping iron my dudes, it’s useful for more than just looking good and helping people move couches.
