Day 2 of the Demo at the Crib!

Today my friend Matt Myers and his crew at Charlotte Construction Inc. got moving on the demo and redo project around the house here are some updated pics;


Retaining Wall 145ft with 8-10 ft footers (above); What will eventually be the new patio with rocking chair porch (below)


Thinking I might see if Ape wants to get me a Skid Steer for my 30th birthday later this year......imagine the fun I could have with that thing on a daily basis!

Anybody think she will actually go for it......?

Sad Day.....Season 8 of 24 will be it's last!

24 to retire after 8 awesome seasons!

Well folks today I awoke to a dreadful announcement...the best show EVER on TV will be coming to an end after this season. The invincible icon of a man Jack Bauer will finally hang it up and blend back into everyday life;


Thanks for the awesome shows week-in and week-out 24! I was never and will never be a TV show follower, but 24 was it for me, the best of the best. Plus if I could be a bad a$$ I would surely be Jack Bauer!

Thanks to all the cast & crew for 8 awesome seasons! Now lets make that "24: the Movie" I keep hearing rumors about.............

the DEMO.......Good Stuff to Come!

Well today was the launch of a pretty big endeavor around the Frazer Casa..........we broke ground on the 145 foot retaining wall which will in turn house our walkway to the back entertaining patio and landscaping!

So this morning at 7:15am the doorbell rang and I opened the door to see 2 18 wheeler flatbeds piled high then 2 minutes later 2 dump trucks and those were only the first of many runs for the day............now I am sure my neighbors love me as this is what the street looks like;


Stay tuned for pictures of the progress.........as with the stellar Skid Steer this job will be easy........well that and I hired it out to Charlotte Construction Inc. Da Boss can do many things, but building a city permitted retaining wall is not one of my trades.

Hitch in the so-called COMEBACK...........KT Tape to the Rescue!

Well I finally hit that "hitch" in the so-called COMEBACK this week. After a Thursday morning run, then a "Dreadmill Run" to warm-up before the FT Workout.............I got home slammed down a OhYeah! RTD............then showered and after getting dressed for the day felt a snag in the Achilles (Dang it!).

The sting didn't cease a bit all day and began to get real real tight throughout the day, so that evening I said screw it! Now it was time to use "the STICK" and wrap it up with some KT Tape.

What is KT Tape you ask?

CutOut B.O.B.s trip to Denver!

Sorry for they delay in postings, things have been crazy. Ape headed out to Europe to country hop for the week on business. We've been doing some stuff around the house and getting ready for the Spring/Summer swing of vacation, more weddings, the annual All-Star Wanza Outing, and prepping for the 24Hob!

In other news -- Supaman has settled down in Denver! He did get his knife set and Chef GetUp


He then decided that even in the mountains a good Fiesta (we were celebrating the arrival of "notchi") was needed, so he put a Sombrero on CutOut B.O.B. and .......


....well Denver will never be the same with CutOut B.O.B. around!

I'll get back on track here soon and give you all some laughs and updates on stuff. Until then...keep it real........LIKE A BOSS!

A True Test....Filthy Fifty!

Well these past few weeks have been a true test of my commitment and endurance at ole Fitness Together. After learning that H$ (Hunter) moved onto pursue his MLS and Soccer Career (check him out on Wiki or FACEBOOK and join his fan page), I was introduced to one of my new trainers.

First words out of his mouth were ".....Navy Seal...." which got me a bit wide-eyed!

After a week of getting acquainted he threw the "Filthy Fifty" on me with no warning and probably for good cause. The breakdown of the "Warm-Up + the FF" goes as follows;

Warm-Up: Morning Run was fairly easy just a good tempo run of 4 Miles! (31:23) Then we instantly hit up the "FF" with no breaks and clocked that bad boy; 50 - Bench Jumps, 50 - Jumping PullUps, 50 - Dumbell Swings (weighted), 50 - Walking Lunges, 50 - Knee-to-Elbows, 50 - Push Press (weighted), 50 - Back Extensions, 50 - Squat Throws (weighted), 50 - Burpies, 200 - Jump Rope Total allotted time: 38:45 After knocking that bad boy out, I headed to the crib, downed a OhYeah! RTD! .....LIKE A BOSS!
