Local establishments...

We at Team Satisfied believe in a balanced and progressive training program so this weekend to kick off our taper week, we decided we would forgo the strenuous and sweaty part of our training and focus sole on our partying skills.

After experiencing Burning Sensations in front of our hometown city hall with the Jaycees, Sunshine and Sparkle decided to drag one of the Bad Monkeys to the Whiskey River. Now Bad Monkeys maybe a rival team but it pays to make sure that your team has friends. Especially friends that know how to make beer even better. Did you know if take a normal light beer and mix it with a hard lemonade drink that the result is utterly delightful? However, a word of caution for our friends not in training- DO NOT FORGET TO EAT DINNER before enjoying these refreshing and potent concoctions.

Saturday night's team meeting started at Satisfied Sid's hacienda where the world famous washer game made its debut. Many thanks to Gordy for his hard work creating our Cyclone colored version of this midwest classic. For readers not familiar with this game of skill and strategy, you try to toss a larger washer into a 12x12 box with a coffee can sized cylinder in the middle from a distance- 1 point for merely making the box, 3 points for the can. The beauty part of this is that you can hold a refreshing beverage in one hand while tossing your washers with the other. Brilliant!

Later on after Stodd made his way to town he, Sugar, Sid, and Sparkle headed downtown to meet up with Sunshine. Things would remain fairly calm with a friendly round of fooseball being the highlight of the evening. Much like any of our other meetings there were no motions made, no discussions tabled, or actually anything remotely resembling a decision made. We were pretty well satisfied after our 12:30 am gyro and adjourned.

So readers, now we are in the short stretch. it 5 days and counting... we are so excited that we spit when we talk. Keep an eye out for us- we're on our way.

Rider off.
