We had a beater Lincoln Continental in a shop in a sketchy hood in L.A. and it was stolen right off the lot. This was a MESSED UP car. It was later found and someone had stolen the BABY"S CAR SEAT.
We did get enough insurance $ for a new car though. I'm surprised they didn't suspect we set the whole thing up.

Stealing a baby seat is insane. Couldn't you get one at Goodwill for $5?
After thinking about it, it does make sense that they'd want a bad one, because who's going to stop someone with a crappy tractor at 3am or whatever? If it was brand new, it would raise a few flags.
Thing is, they still haven't contacted us about getting a new one or a loaner to us, so we're going to have to start putting pressure on them, which really sucks, because they've been our go-to repair shop for a while now because they do good work and are reasonable.

Had to skip the isolation exercises because this was an abbreviated workout because right as I left for the gym before work I got an email telling me when they wanted me on the radio. (I'm the racing "guru" for a radio show) So I had to wait and call in and do my thing before I could work out and when I got done with that, I was crunched for time before I had to go to work.

I think that's where we had gotten it! We were poor new parents.
Sucks that you have to put pressure on them.
That's awesome.
Yeah, I don't know why they're treating us like crap. We've been very good to them. We've taken all of our mowers there for almost 10 years. (And we have a lot of space, so that's a hefty repair/preventative maintenance bill every year)

I still don't understand how they got it. I guess they broke the fence or something because they're kept in a fenced in area behind the shop.
Obviously they weren't lifting it over the fence unless they brought a crane...

Perhaps the fences could be opened from the inside?
Or perhaps they used a tool from the garage itself to break the lock, like a pair of bolt cutters?
A couple of months ago by my house, a guy stole a car that the owner had left running. The thief made a clean get away, but unfortunately stole a car with a baby still in it.
The idiot car owner was a dad that had left the car running so the baby stayed 'cool' in the back while he went into the store.
Anyway, there was this huge amber alert put out and we were all looking for the car . . but the thief just made an anonymous call to the police and told them where he left the car (and the kid).

I have no idea how they got it out, but the kicker is that they want us to put in a claim against our homeowner's insurance. That's not how it works when it wasn't stolen off of our property...

Found out this weekend that my cousins are running a T-Day 5K and wanted to know if David and I wanted to run too. And of course, I now have to train for it, because I want to beat them. So I ran a half mile hard afterwards, and then four 0.2 "sprints."
I'm not going to do much outside of intervals and sprint work because I know I have the stamina to make it 3.1 miles based off of the BC, so it's all about trying to finish under 25 minutes. And I also don't want to do a large amount of running because that probably won't fit in with my goals.

Couldn't regular bench press because the bench press station was taken. Saw a lady I know at the gym--who's overweight--and she had the audacity to say that she hadn't seen me at the gym in a while. I wonder why...

Great workout. Added a rep on the dips and the DB bench press.
Had an insane day at work, so I had to go work off some frustration at the gym, and then I could guilt-free have some beer. Got a 12 pack of PBR and a 12 pack of Sam Adams winter sampler. The Sam was on sale for the same price as Bud Light Wheat. Easy choice.

Great workout. Up a set on the split squats and leg curls and added an interval, which wasn't so much a feat of cardiovascular achievement but rather one for my legs which felt like jelly after the extra sets.

(I'm sounding like a raging drunk, when I'm really not. I just like to have five or six beers on Saturday and Sunday while watching football. And honestly, my beer intake will go down tomorrow while I go to the Missouri game. Kinda weird, I know, but I don't drink when I drive the two hours each way to go to the game)

...and I remember my first summit when he was wasted from 2 1/2 bottles.
.... and my second when he was 'calling ralph down the big white telephone'.
.... by the third he'd learnt to stomach is beer.

Kind of a back-off week this week to focus a bit more on some running. Went to do single leg deads instead of the split squats and felt a twinge in the lower part of my left hamstring at the bottom of the movement. Oddly, there wasn't that feeling on the split squats and the running.
And the fourth treadmill from the left in the back room lurches. Just wanted to let everyone know.

Calling Ralph on the big white courtesy phone pre-dates Larry the cable guy.
Well, Jesse Jackson on the white courtesy phone was a Larry the Cable Guy joke, and I've never heard of Ralph until Neil mentioned it, so I am officially lost
