I think I know what that one doohickey thingy is, in the back, back there. Yeah, I recognize it, alright! It’s the “Abdominal Contorsion Adjustment And Muscular Burning-enator”. It runs on Lact-ical type acids and whatnot… – It took me,approximately… oh, about- 2 days, 4 hours, 35 minutes, and round about 27 seconds after that, to find my way out, again… – After the Trainer laughed at me, I realized my mistake- I should have worn the blue sweats, and sneak into the gym _before the Trainer arrives (or anyone else , for that matter). That way, they won’t interrupt my “nearly flawless (well, almost ) technique”. Plus, then I can also do 3 pushups, and won’t have to feel as though I’m making anyone feel so pressured or intimidate anyone… – Either that, or I’ll just cave in and buy that $350,000 exercise apparatus I saw on TV the other week. Funny thing, it sort of looks just like a plain old inflatable ball..

Like I’ve been saying all along, I hope Brad is up to date on his CPR certification. Because his Dad is not in shape for even a moderate workout, let alone a mud run.
Swollen ankles means fluid retention, which can mean heart failure. (Happened to two folks in my family, so the symptoms catch my eye now when I see them…)

I know it’s fashionable to treat grown men like they are incapable of making good decisions but I think Frank will surprise some people. His and Nancy’s decision to buy the warehouse isn’t a sign of a mid-life crisis but an investment opportunity.

That machine is for self torture, if Bush had forced people to do it all day worse than waterboarding.
Its also to help people go against their genetics

Spending all your savings on a speculative venture is not a good way to approach the end of your prime earning years. It could make for a pretty meager retirement, or a very extended working life. Now if he’s got enough that extended start-up business losses and either a foreclosure or a short sale won’t prevent him from having a happy retirement, well – more power to him. The time for speculative ventures is earlier, when he has time to recover from it.

If working out was fun, a lot more people would do it.

At least Franks trying new things. He says he worked hard his whole life, why shouldn’t he have some fun?

Once your retirement is sufficient, it’s time for fun. “Moderation in all things.”

Men aren’t built for sedentary life, yes they can do it and survive but almost every disease that fells them is caused by sedentary life. Exercise is a substitute but not a replacement for an active lifestyle and I believe that at our cores we understand that.

I made the mistake of working out with a firefighter once – it wasn’t a pretty sight!

I hate gyms, but love to exercise. I just can’t do the same things every day. Still my numbers are all normal except weight which the charts label me is grossly obese. I dare any of the people who make those charts to keep up with this 57 yr old on a daily basis. If Frank wants to get in shape for a mud-run, now is the time to start.
I suspect that the warehouse is a way to support Luann and keep all the regular characters in the strip. I see a production of Annie in the future, starring the black helmet haired niece, Gunther in charge of costumes, Tiffany and Quill in adult lead roles, Luann doing set-design…summer-jobs for everyone through college! Maybe Brad can even get married there.
It makes comic-sense, if not dollars-cents.

I’m trying to figure out where this thread is going. Maybe it is a father-son interaction that will get Brad and Toni to set a date for their wedding, and maybe hold it at the warehouse.
