Thank you.

I will tell my wife, she takes most of the fotos. I just noodle with them before she posts them.

Hat

Not sure what that means. But I take it as a good thing.
Speaking of not so good things and females getting in the way of training.

Today I get a call from a young female I met a week ago from the neighborhood.
I'm now on test, trest, Mast.
I vowed to not deal with fatties but the gear goggles got the best of me today.
So she comes over(as I work from home) with the intention of just going out to eat.
We get back to my house and things lead to a thing or two. In the back of my mind I'm like if I bust I'm going to be too lazy to even run or lift. The fuck demon got the best of me. So now I'm just going to veg and eat a pizza.
That said... I did run a couple miles this morning and did some pull ups and a couple sets of 50 rep squats( with a quarter on each side)
I aways try to do something light just to get the day started. Before doing anything though I've recently added a cold dip into my hot tub that is not heated. I do throw in ice cubes to cool the tub into the upper 50s.

A hat trick is 3 different partners in 24 hours.

Wy wife and I get a free gym membership at participating gyms with our insurance, the ‘chain’ type. I may catch a workout (rare), it’s mostly about free showers on the road.

So we roll into one of these places in Vegas. Shit, shave, shower. Done.

On the way out I see this trainer, I recognize his face (can’t see the bod; nice shirt and slacks) and I never forget a face. Names yes, faces no.

I pause, then it comes to me. Tony Pearson. Most people here will not have a clue who he is or was but at one time he was pretty hot shit. Great poser, was Mr. America, Mr. Universe, turned pro, won a few, did the Grand Prix Tour, never broke top ten in the Olympia though.

I take a moment and introduce myself and told him we back ‘77 in LA. We talked a bit about bodybuilding back then, the original Golds, when it moved to Santa Monica, the Mr. America parade in Santa Monica he was in, training at World Gym when it opened, bodybuilding now and then, bla, bla, bla. (He was flattered I remembered him and all the other stuff from back then I remembered.)

Super nice guy. Soft spoken, no attitude. Still looks to be in good shape, beautiful dark carmel skin, posture, waistline. (He was known for his wasp like waist.)

Outta the blue . . . what were the odds? Should’ve pulled a few slots on our way outta town

That hadda be LVAC.
I see his his buisness card on the wall of trainers when I go there.
I've spoken with him a few times and yes, he's one reallllly nice guy!

In Zion now, could not get a ticket (lottery, new) for the hike to the top of Angels Landing, the Narrows has too much water to do and The Subway, while incredible is only so with little water so just been hangin in the campground and doing several shorter hikes morning and evenings. The light in this valley rivals Yosemite Valley. Heading to Kodachrome Basin State Park tomorrow. Some shots leading up to and including today.

It was vegan. (So is my wife.) The best breakfast burrito I have had and I had my doubts.

Bryce Canyon. One of my favorite walks in the world, a short but sweet one, down and around these amazing spires.

Freaking nice.
After my month or so in Miami, I plan to spend another month in Utah.. in the SLC metro area. The plan is to get in some mountain trail hikes and fishing.
After that it's back to San Diego to finish off the summer.

PM me before you go. Will be happy to give you some suggestions if you want. I have spent a lot of time in Southern Utah. One of my favorite places on earth.

Capitol Reef National Park. The very little store there makes the best cherry and the best peach pies I have ever had in my life. We stopped by there on our way back from Dead Horse Point State Park to pick up a couple to bring to my friend in Boulder (UT) buy they were sold out by noon
