Hahahahahahaha!! You have to love it when you're out for a walk. It's a warm out so the shirt's off. I get stopped by a young gentleman that tells me, "You know, man, you have an awesome body. But just wait until you turn 30, it'll be all down hill from there." He was flabbergasted when I told him I was 40, he wouldn't believe it. Then I pulled out my license and proved it and his jaw hit the floor. Hahahahahahahaha!! Happy Muscle Up Monday everyone!!
