Sorry Guy`s !!

[Tim Wescott]

I just wanted to apoligize for not being on the board as much as I would have liked to lately.

I`m working on Part II of the "contest" article as well as having to rush my monthly article for atozfitness and ironlife.com at the same time.

Also I`m helping quite a few people train online as well as being a moderator on several other boards and just trying to make ends meet as we all are.

To top it all off I`m pretty bummed as I was rounding into good shape again and my car sh*t`s the bed again.(carbeurator problems)

I`m having it worked on but I keep thinking of another 4 months of "training" at home which I cannot do again.

I have to get ready for next years contests and things keep getting in the way as soon as I get some momentum rolling.

Bear with me and I appreciate you guy`s continuing to add great input to the board.

[MThomas]

Personally, I thought you have been around this board an awful lot since I have joined. Can't imagine how much time you would like to be on it. You sound like a busy guy with strong willpower. I am sure everything will work out one-way or another.

Oh, and if I haven’t told you….. I appreciate all of the help you have given me to date and always look forward to visiting your board. Tons of great information!

[jimdmcd]

You do us all a great service.
You have always been there for all on a individual basis.
Sorry about the car again.

[Tim Wescott]

Thanks guy`s you`re the best!!

I don`t know it just seems that I was posting a lot more info and stuff but haven`t been doing too much lately.

I`ll work through this, even if I have to walk/thumb 20 miles a day, for me to get ready for next year`s Masters Nationals I have to have access to a gym.

I`m overreacting I know, but after 4 crappy months of training in a tiny space, with hardly any equipment, I just cannot do it again ,if I want to make an impression at the contest that is.

My anxiety is high, but the car will probably be fixed in another day or two.<I hope> ;D

[MikeKy]

Tim, as I see it, you go way above and beyond to help folks here. If your up to your armpits, everyone understands that. We all have had our crosses to bear from time to time. Hang in there and stay positive. You WILL get past the current problems and be better for it. Thanks Buddy!

[Tim Wescott]

Thanks Mike,and after I thought about you are probably right.

Lord know`s I`ve been through a lot harder stuff than this crap ,and that`s putting it mildly!! ;D

I feel a lot better after sitting a while and analyzing things a bit more.

It`s a pleasure to share anything that I have learned with you guy`s as I love to hear about the progress everyone makes.

I offer the advice or suggestions if and when I can but you guy`s are the ones that put it into effect!

[Mystic79]

No need to apologize man, life always kicks into high gear sometimes, totally understable. Hope all goes well! We'll hold the fort down for ya while you're gone.

[Joe_Roark]

You do a wonderful job here, Tim.

Sorry to hear about your car, but I just got a call from Ronnie and he was so relieved that you were training haphazardly, making it harder for you to close (the barely noticeable) gap between the two of you.

[GerryT]

Tim, if I hit the lotto here (for $177 million, had to buy a couple tickets, lol), I'll get you a new car! And one for me, too! ;D

No one can do everything, and you do an amazing job here. I can't be on much as I like either with working, coaching, etc.

But you have your trusty mods to watch the store here.
Just good luck with the articles, car and training. Want to see you take the class at over 50 next year, bro!

[WireNWood]

Man, no apologies necessary. I've been amazed at the amount of time you've had to put into this place, and your support for everyone here is outstanding.

Cars suck. Sorry.

[Tim Wescott]

Thanks a lot guy`s !!

The car is STILL being worked on, and I figured I`d wait one more day to see if I can just condense my wokouts at the gym once it`s fixed.

I dread trying to train at home .

If not I`ll do my best here tomorrow.

Hey Joe, once again Ronnie gets a repreive, but once I get rollin` he better watch out!! ;D

Gerry,hurry up and get lucky will ya`?

I`ll take a new Corvette please! ;D

[powerhouse7]

Tim, you really are doing a great job bro, especially with all the little side mod jobs you do. Keep it up, and dont forget to take me for a ride in that vet.

Tim,

This is just an idea, but have you thought about trying to make a little money to get your car fixed up for the future. I was thinking you might get with a local screen printer and do a tee-shirt, or work-out shirt. you could come up with a good picture and maybe add one of your catch fraises you have on the site, like:
"Obsession is a word the lazy use to describe the dedicated." or
"Love leg day,like you love your favorite girl" or
"You Can`t Flex Fat"!!

You could sell them for $15 or $20 bucks each.
You could evan have a contest on what to put on it and give the winner one free shirt. ( participation always drives sales LOL !!)
You have a good membership on the board, it could add up, so you would not have to worry about your ride, at least until the corvette gets there ;D

[Tim Wescott]

Michael,That`s an idea but who would want my ugly mug plastered on their T-shirt?? ;D

Actually, I had another car that`s much newer, and my mechanic, who is also a lifelong friend of my wifes,brought that car over this afternoon,it was being fixed alsoi but runs well,it just needed a few minor parts.

It`s nicer,newer,and runs really good...so far!!

*knock`s on wood*

The other car needed a new carbuerator, so it can sit here until I get one.

Things look much better, as this newer car is just so much nicer than the total beater we were driving, and that has been wrecking my training.

i just hope it lasts until Gerry ship`s me up the "vette" !

[Michael]

Well... not to bust your ego, but I was not really thinking of your face on it, more like a drawing or something interesting..LOL ;D, But good luck with the car, and you should still give the shirts a thought, after all many of us are almost family here ( or better ;D ), it would be a great way to spread the site around..

[WireNWood]

LOL!!


"when I said PICTURE...... I didn't mean YOUR FACE!...."


Testing the limits of his temper, are we?

[Jesse]

i hear that if you wear a shirt with a pic of an old guy on it, YOUR body parts start to sag and wrinkle... dont know if this is a good idea fellas. ;D

tim if you get the vette any time soon, you will need to make a trip to tx so i can show you around ;D

[Tim Wescott]

Now you guy`s are trying to imply that I`m old and ugly!! ;D

I`ll concede the ugly part, but I`m far from old! ;D

[oldwarrior]

ciao TIM,

I'm happy to know you have a new car.

btw which car did you have?
and the new?

I had a 1982 Opel station wagon which I really loved, I named it Old Betzy.

My father in an accident destroyed a WW Golf..........so sad.....my old car!

PS: I'm following your advice on cardio and it REALLY WORKS!!!

TIM FOR PRESIDENT

[Tim Wescott]

OW,Glad the cardio is working for you buddy!!

One car is a 1984 Plymouth Horizon,and the newer one is a 1994 Plymouth Sundance.

The Sundance look`s brand new and hopefully after this timing chain/belt is repaired it will last a while.

I`m hoping to be in the gym tomorrow or Thursday at the latest because if I`m not I`m gonna` kill somebody!! ;D
