Lifted rocks all day at work.  In fact, between 4 of us, we lifted 7 tons.  After work I played basketball for an hour and a half, Brotherson style.

flintstones?

From Burt on Wed, Jan 04, 2012 at 22:54:28 from 174.254.18.204

Actually it was asphalt chunks. My blog isn't always 100% accurate.

From Rye on Wed, Jan 04, 2012 at 23:56:54 from 174.27.66.106

This Brotherson term is new to me Burt. Yes, I need to get out more, but enlighten me on that term .......Is it like fartlek?

From The Quiet Pirate on Thu, Jan 05, 2012 at 12:05:53 from 152.26.59.252

Man throw rocks.... ARGH!

Man throw balls......SWOOSH.

From Burt on Thu, Jan 05, 2012 at 20:40:13 from 72.223.93.131

Rye - recently I was accused by a certain blogger of being a stalker. I'm out to prove her right. I mean wrong! That's what I mean.

QP - I think I have better aim when it comes to throwing rocks.

From SlowJoe on Thu, Jan 05, 2012 at 21:00:41 from 74.195.74.62

I think Allie is right. I used to think Burt was Frank Shorter but now I realize he's Fred Flintstone. You must've really ticked off Mr. Slate at the quarry today to get rock duty.

From Brent on Thu, Jan 05, 2012 at 23:00:26 from 66.7.127.67

Burt, did you wear a striped overall matching with other workers? Orange also goes well on the chain gang.

Great to be young and strong - core work done for the month hey.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

From flatlander on Thu, Jan 05, 2012 at 23:48:24 from 210.71.190.43

Work is work. At least you got to play basketball, but not sure what kind!

From Scott Ensign on Fri, Jan 06, 2012 at 02:51:12 from 67.40.119.246

man am I glad to be back on your favorites. being injured is no where near as bad as losing my most coveted spot.

From Burt on Fri, Jan 06, 2012 at 11:46:14 from 174.255.240.94

Flinstone!!

Joe - allie is always right, but don't let her hear me say that.

Brent - that's funny because we were singing chain gang songs. And I had a very bright orange shirt on.

Flat - Kirk Brotherson is a legendary basketball coach.

Rooster - glad you're back. It hurt so much when I had to take you off.

From Steam8 on Fri, Jan 06, 2012 at 22:48:09 from 166.70.55.77

What a workout! That sounds like a killer day!

Who would call you a stalker? What would the blog be like without you? You are too much fun!!!!

From april27 on Fri, Jan 06, 2012 at 23:44:08 from 99.188.251.180

I find it odd that you are moving rocks

From Scott Ensign on Sat, Jan 07, 2012 at 00:52:03 from 67.42.254.136

you're a few days behind on the blog my friend. you better get caught up or you know the consequences.

From Burt on Sat, Jan 07, 2012 at 01:15:16 from 72.223.93.131

Amy - I think the blog would be fine without me.

April - we can't all be first grade teachers.

Scott - I'll catch up. I'd hate to be taken off YOUR list.

From RAD on Sat, Jan 07, 2012 at 01:27:08 from 98.202.23.178

Trying to move another mountain? I've heard all it takes is faith, but you probably lost some in the game.

From april27 on Sat, Jan 07, 2012 at 13:33:02 from 99.188.251.180

Very true

From Burt on Sat, Jan 07, 2012 at 14:28:44 from 72.223.93.131

RAD - faith is knowing the sun will rise, brightening each new day.
