When I said I wanted some competition I wasn't thinking Mike Herbert level.  Oh well 2nd place is still a remote possibility.  Looking forward to it.

I bet mike has not worked out all winter......and gained 50 lbs and  cant even fit in ski....and gets out of wind riding an elevator............I am right am I not ?...............right?.............hello?

Actually I have an evil plan to thwart mr Herbert .....bears are  Now common in Missouri......and for the last 4 months my buddies at the conservation department have been training them to stop arkansas cars with stellar surfski's on top and force occupants to a wrestling match.....and their trainer has been luchador supremo himself Wally "the bear" -of Los humongous fame......he even has the bears wearing luchador masks made from razorback pig skins.......and trust me....that is freaky to see all and of itself.....we will see how snappy Mike is after wrestling 45 bears from the state line to mid Missouri........bet he has never wrestled a bear

...OK..if that does not work....I have an Asian carp back up plan!.......I am so not worried............... . ..............much.
