That meal right in front of your car? You are hardcore
even have a nice table set up @toddthelineman RESPECT!
looks like a wondeful little meal you put together. you gotta love authentic and fresh mexican food. there might not be anything better @toddthelineman
Tournament cookout?
Most everyone was either with their families or in the beer tent. I camped out in my own little clearing.
My tacos were way better than the taco truck lol
Yeah I picked up a cheap old rv for traveling so I can cook and stuff. Van by the river!That meal right in front of your car? You are hardcore
and EVO family love for your dedication here.
Sorry to hear about all the unfortunate circumstances but at least you're looking at the positive side. Getting to fight for the win in D2 will probably be more fun anyway.
I just started going over the jump last weekend after like 11 years of not jumping. I’ll be attempting helicopters soon and I’ll bet if I stay at it I’ll get a front flip some time next year. It’s the really extreme stuff and the repetition that beats you up. There was a dude that did gainers on shoe skies that broke his pelvis, if I’m getting the story right. Had a buddy that did a möbius among other things. He was pretty tore up by his thirties, after skiing professionally on every continent but Antarctica. He actually committed suicide and I always wondered how much of that came from not really being able to do what he loved anymore and the isolation he felt from leaving a community that was everything to him since he was a kid. Don’t know
Damn sorry to hear about your buddy.
Plus you washed ur hands and kitchen. They probably didn’t in a long time lol
it’s a heap but everything works and it doesn’t leak (anymore). I’m the type of guy, I bought a $500 truck and drove it with zero problems for four years, and I bought a $50k truck that was immediately in a hail storm and had been in three accidents, and employee put 11 gallons of DEF in the diesel while it was running, I JUST found a huge deep red gash in the bumper. It throws check engine lights like whack a mole. So much more. Buying nice stuff from a bad luck for me.It's a beauty
It’s scary. Right before you hit it it’s always like, “can’t back out now!”
Honestly I climbed poles with a fractured ankle for a little bit until it was obvious to everyone else I needed medical attention. I didn’t miss all that much work when I herniated the discs in my neck, but I did get a guy on my crew who could do most of the physical work, but couldn’t handle being a foreman. I’ll be aight.
. But softer. 
bro how you sleep 8 hours straight lol. my wife wake me up atleast 2-3x to ride me. shakes the whole trailer @toddthelineman
Yeah I don’t have woman problems right now. For the first time in 30+ years. Whenever I’m tempted I just think it through to its logical end. Sometimes I tell the chick how it’s going to end. Doesn’t always work hahaha
@toddthelineman 8 hours of sleep is going to be huge. that is when your body repairs and recovers. so that is great to see !
wow great update as usual. food looks good! organic chicken with tacos is a fun meal and different @toddthelineman
chuck roast sounds good man, you are eating like a champion. i like the macros and i like the add on of the mk677 to boost recovery/appetite. @toddthelineman
Makes sense that the bindings are super tight so they resist you literally getting ripped right outta them haha. You're a Wildman @toddthelinemanHonestly I climbed poles with a fractured ankle for a little bit until it was obvious to everyone else I needed medical attention.

When I first got into jumping, my driver and spotter were father and son pro skiers, and the dad’s dad was a driver for cypress gardens. They wouldn’t let me go near the jump until they could whip me through absolutely anything and my posture was unshakable. When you get it right, a simple ride over feels like hopping off the back of a truck
One thing about it that’s super crazy: muscle pumps in your feet! That was intense. The bindings are insanely tight
You have that technical mechanical knowhow, I'm sure you can fix it easy.
Yeah man, I’m too urban for that. I wrecked a chicken coop with a Honda three wheeler when I was a kid. The first time I saw a REAL dirt bike up close my biddy asked if I wanted to ride it… it seemed huuuuge. Crazy. You gotta grow up on those things. I’ve crashed a lot of things. Honestly, I have other people drive my boat even. I’m good at operating machines, but if you give me power AND adrenaline, I’m not safe for me or anyone else lol. The bike is the one way I exercise control in that context. It’s soooo powerful for me that I have to respect it. I put a 383 in my boat for barefooting, and rebuilt the entire boat from a bare hull with composites and lots of aluminum under the hood. It’s like at least 800 pounds lighter than it was. It’s pretty fun to spin out and do boat slides with drunk chicks in the boat. Gonna get me in trouble for sure.
Man I was thinking the mk was not working for me. Been taking it for a week. Started taking it twice a day. It hit me in the middle of the night last night. Woke me up from hunger. I’ve eaten a lot today and it was really hot. I had indigestion from eating so much and exerting myself. I was HANGRY with a full stomach hahahaha. I used to feel like that all the time. I’m glad I know it’s doing something but definitely dialing it back.
That chicken was good. The whole chicken was tasty almost like chicken thighs. I can’t handle dry chicken. I’d risk getting sick before committing to eating dry chicken the salsa I put on it was decent too. But most of my food is as simple as possible. I like to focus on getting the inner temperature and the surface of the meat right. I’m no chef. I enjoy my food but I eat for fuel

So I get pretty good sleep some of the time. This particular time I woke early Unintentionally and I knew right away that I wasn’t going to be able to get back to sleep. When this happens to me I’ve learned my best move is to just get up and be productive and avoid a nap later so that I can reasonably expect to get to bed early and get a good nights sleep and with luck, reset my sleep pattern and get some consistency.
.
yeah you will get super big appetite on it. very annoying !
I just ate 15 tacos lol. This stuff is hilarious! I was six pounds heavier yesterday morning and sweat it all out in this humidity
TACO KING lol
@toddthelineman that’s a neat little grill. Could make some good meals on it.
Haha madman. The boat sounds sick. Is it a stroked 383? I bet it is haha.
Yeah stroker 383.
I’ve probably cooked like five cows on that thing. I used to just throw a bunch of frozen beef in a yeti, and bring that grill on the road with me. I’d just pull whatever I was going to eat that night out of the cooler in the morning, cook like three pounds in the evening, eat most of it that night, snack on the rest the next day. That’s how I ate strict carnivore while traveling for work 4-10 days at a time. If I stayed out more than a week I had to find a store or butcher. Sometimes I could find a farmer with beef available. The grill runs on little butane cans. It gets really hot, and the surface is like thick iron, so once you get a good sear you can turn the gas off and let it cook. It was like $300 and it was worth it. I must have didn’t $1000 on cheap stupid grills. Junk
the interesting thing about nutrobal is you get more appetite and eat more, but you won't gain fat on it.
I’m enjoying it. I did gain six pounds of water in one day! But it’s been miserably humid and I lost it all in sweat. So now, even though I have not hit the iron in weeks, I look very full. My pecs look like I have a pump. Strong stuff.
you can always drop the dose if the sides become too much!
I wonder what the half life is. I started with12.5 mg mk once at night. I was already taking 1.8 iu serostim in the evening, and had less than my normal appetite. It didn’t seem to be doing anything at all. I started taking 12.5 mg in the morning as well, but I still was forgetting to eat and just not that hungry. I started searching the forum for others’ mk experiments and saw @RoidRage69 say not to use mk with gh. So I figured that was a good reason to save money on gh and give mk an honest try. I believe it was two days later my appetite came back very strongly. So I dropped the morning dose and now I feel, regularly hungry but not so hungry that I’m having irrational thoughts hahahaha.
@toddthelineman thats interesting. You're confirming my thought that using hGH and mk677 nutrobal as a stack is not needed.
Maybe for someone doing something more extreme than me it would be good. I don’t want to have to do any blood sugar manipulation.@toddthelineman thats interesting. You're confirming my thought that using hGH and mk677 nutrobal as a stack is not needed.
Smart move, stay away from insulin for sure.
the half life isn't that long. in and out of the system within a couple days
i see a huge pizza there broly im jealous i want it soooo bad lol
@toddthelineman
Lol damn bro. Like I said...mad man.
the blood pressure is impressive. you don't see that very often in the USA. and you sure don't see it very often with bodybuilders @toddthelineman
I’m pretty pleased with it too! Especially unmedicated. It’s because I’m getting good sleep, for sure! I hadn’t unpacked my cuff since my last trip, and this MK seems to have put 5-6 pounds of water on me, looking very much like the blue tops I used to get. Those blue tops had my blood pressure scary high. So I see that mine is acceptable and that’s encouraging. I have ANOTHER tournament coming up and we’re practicing or performing every day AND I just got dumped on at work by a new old customer I’ve been trying to get back and the last of everything on my current project, which will light up three towns when it’s done. So I haven’t made time to lift at all and I done think I will for two more weeks. I’m just making work my cardio by jogging whenever I can and it’s always a good arm and core workout. I can actually get pretty serious pumps pulling cable
Hahaha wow. Supercharged 1800. I wouldn’t even get on that hahaha. That’s badass though!
I bought that pizza and went to the end of where we were pulling the cable, told my guys I had the pizza and that they better get there with the end before it was gone lmao. I got halfway through it before they got there. Fun little incentivei see a huge pizza there broly im jealous i want it soooo bad lol
13 hours of work you're beasting it, thats a lot of cable damn!
you need that food to get things going smart move
Probably a good thing you don't. The mastercraft boats cost as much as a Lambo these days lol
Yeah but you can get a 30 year loan lol. All my show ski friends’ personal boats are old. Mostly carbureted. Because you can ALWAYS make it run and it’s all about the other end of the rope you know? My favorite boat I owned was an 83 nautique that buddy bought from me because he just had to have it. He’d never skied, at 53 years old, and I took him out and he caught the bug instantly. He put like 300 hours on it the very first year. He keeps talking about buying a big nautique, like a g23. Crazy as hell. Imagine a big dock rash on a boat like that? I would hate it. Would make me sick. I like having fun. I wipe my boat down when I’m done and I keep it running tip top and wax it once a year. The rest is all fun. If a little kid throws sand in it I’m not trippin
Lol no take off your shoes when you get it my boat type thing eh. That's how it should be.
Oh my grandparents’ neighbors Mastercraft that I crashed into?! Yeah that thing was like a 1 of 5 prototype. The predecessor to the x80. Twin 454s! Basically a priceless boat. The neighbors were husband and wife both retired neurosurgeons. They were pretty pissed. My grandparents did have their kind of money but they did really good with what they had. They wrote a check for it all but they were never friends again. I felt pretty stupid and really bad about it all, but like, there’s no way I would give a kid that kind of machine man. That jet ski was retarded. Their grandson was on the back telling me to jump around in the wake of the boat. They slowed down right after I gunned it. Had no control. The kid bailed and I absolutely should have died
Ya giving that kinda power to a kid.... crazy. You like actually could've died. Crazy people.
My buddy’s barefoot Sanger outboard is theee flattest wake I think possible. It’s soooooo light. Mine is a bit so close second with it being so much lighter than stock. The sw platform is way above the water hahaha.
Sounds pretty sweet!
Rather you than me
It’s a domino effect
@toddthelineman bro you looking sweet on this one! i like the supps. NAC supposed to be good for heart
@toddthelineman that is good you are in bed by 10pm. it amazes me how many guys stay up till past 11 or midnight
I try! It’s one of the most important things for my health I find. Maybe theeee most impactful thing, even over food
@toddthelineman bros you looking sweet on this one! lots of good supps and lots of good training. you won't go wrong
@toddthelineman you are doing great! this training looks to be on point. and the sleep also is on point
2 miles of cable wow. that is a heck of a hard days work. nice job on that @toddthelineman
Sick. Is that you barefooting in the pic? You weren't kidding about the no wake. That looks like a dream to ski.
Yeah that’s me today, getting my reps in. The whole boat is original and in fantastic shape. 1989, I believe. I do upholstery as a hobby and will be doing some cushions for that boat soon.
Man is there anything you don't do???
I live on the rock river, and my buddy who owns the Sanger keeps it on a lift at his in-laws house. We usually alternate who’s boat we use but he only barefoots and we wind up using his boat more. Which is great hahaha.
Lol I say the exact same thing every time. Anytime I just say fuck it and pay someone to do something I end up pissed off with the work they do. The problem is finding the time to do everything yourself. Inevitably shit just ends up piling up on you.
Yeah I have projects piled up to the moon. A homeowner’s association would have me in front of a firing squad hahaha. My buddy’s attorney paid $7k for an upholstery job on a ski boat, they stapled new vinyl to rotten wood. Lasted one season barely and the whole helm seat turned to dust. I rebuilt it to fit the vinyl. Very challenging for me, but he’s a really good traffic attorney and he lives on the river too, so I did it for free. I am definitely good enough to make money doing it now, so I’m getting my work and name out there. It’s fun, easy on the body.
Thinking about life after lineman work? It would be nice to make a hobby your job. I'm hoping to do the same. I'd like to go apprentice at at motorcycle shop once I got some fuck you money to live off.
My biological dad retired as a bike mechanic, after working on Saabs, then forklifts for like 25 years.
Yep I remember you telling me about you biological dad being a bike mechanic and loving BMW's.
Yeah an aunt and uncle of mine quit their jobs to do gelcoat repair on boats mostly in Lake Michigan. Yachts and stuff. All rich clients. Theyre doing well and very happy. The shop that builds most of the twin and triple engine ski show boat hulls is on the same road as my shop.
Holy shit that thing looks fukn sick! That retro paint job looks insane and those windscreens he put on it make it look like something Batman would drive. You weren't kidding about the way it sits on the water too. It's practically hovering lol.
It’ll do 68, I think, but I’ve seen it do 60. Fast enough to get ahead of most boats, and get out on the rope and still be ahead of them hahahaha. My boat has almost double the power, it launches really hard but I’m lucky to get 46 mph. With more than one footer it gets down to like 43. Not ideal
your bedroom should be your safe space. no light, no sound, no nothing. just sleep.
bros sounds like a plan
It's all about weight and hull design when it comes to speed. Your boat can probably handle choppy water a whole lot better I bet
No it’s THE WORST hahaha. But it doesn’t lean much when people move around the boat. The ski Naitoque handled the chop really well, it could do 45 miles an hour even with a 200 pound barefooter , and it had 100+ less horsepower than my Malibu. It was a superior boat just really small.
Oh really??? I guess it's just a weight issue then?
Very flat from the pylon back. So lots of surface touching the water. The nautique especially is more v shaped, so it planes out more. That boat can actually jump a few inches out of the water if you punch it full throttle. Then, inboard direct drive boats have the prop pushing the stern up and the bow gets pushed down. With the Malibu, this really forces a lot of friction. The nautique counteracts with the more narrow v shape, but that makes it really sensitive to weight distribution. I have a friend, a previous owner of my Malibu, who was an engineer for Malibu. He helped design the Malibu sportster, and they let him take home a corvette Malibu for like a year hahahaha. He explained all this to me when he said I was wasting my time adding a lot of horsepower to the boat. It’s true I only gained like 1mph, but it’s still an improvement in many ways. The torque is awesome and useful. It holds speed anywhere from 9mph to 43 without having to constantly adjust the throttle. It’s on plane instantly and at barefoot speed basically as fast as you can go through the steps to stand up. But mostly it sounds awesome. Even little kids are like “this boat is different ” hahaha
I was reading the updates on your log. Did you/do you compete?
Friends with boats are priceless! I make my boating lifestyle affordable by doing most of my skiing on a team ($250/year, plus a decent amount of work to keep it all going), having friends with boats so all the gas and maintenance isn’t just on me, doing all my own maintenance and repairs(still adds up, but once you’ve got the basics dialed in old boats run like muscle cars. Very simple and cheap), and I invite lots of friends many of whom will put gas money in the glove box. I never ask for it, but I haven’t paid for gas in years. It’s very rewarding. Take some friends out, teach their kids to ski or pull them on a tube, it’s the most fun some people have IN THEIR ENTIRE LIVES
.
@toddthelineman nice work getting those steps in big guy. Your log is going welll
bros here in south cali. every other person in gym got a physique better then me. but when i visit family in Bama everyone look like shit. it depend what part of country you at. i think NY and Cali got the best physiques in north america fo show
