Merci Davey!

Just wanted to give a shout out to Dave F., our unofficial go-to man for all sorts of CFO projects. His latest handwork; new lifting platforms! Many thanks Dave for all of your help keeping CFO presentable.
Gratitude posts to comments.

Thanks Dave! Haven't seen them yet but I'm sure I'm gonna smash a new PR on the clean and hopefully get 1/4 BW snatch.
Hey Mike I did the workout today at my gym, I subbed regular situps for GHD situps, I subbed thrusters by doing dumbbell shoulder press while doing leg press, and I subbed lat pulldowns for pullups. My time: 73:34, yeah it didn't beat any of the other times but I'm pretty sure it deserves a category of its own.

Dave, thanks for all your handy work, nice platforms!
Nabil- You ALWAYS deserve to be in a category of your own...why did you use a stopwatch? Sounds like a sundial would suffice.

Good job Dave!
That’s funny Nabil I was just talking to Mike about the many possible categories up for awards that day. What’s really sad is even with 12 different winning WOD times I still could not get up there. Where’s my category? I want one for a 6-foot tall guy, who can beat Brandon, can do 1 muscle up for time, and once stopped dating a girl because her favorite love song was “Computer love.”

Thanks for your support Lance, it feels great!
MJJ-
Dude you just took that one to a WHOLE other level! Freakin' amazing!!

Nice work Davey! thanks for the bachar ladder too...

Thanks dude, the platform is lovely!
Good job on your OHS yesterday, you inspired me to work on mine today.

Thanks for everything, Davey! Although the levitating bondage contraption isn't really my thing, I too love the Bachar ladder. But for my money, the very best thing of all you have brought to CFO is Hannah!

Thanks Dave!!
MJJ "the standard"...I need you to go out of town so that I won't feel compelled to try any more of your wod's. My neck, back, shoulder, knees and uterus are jacked!! And I was really late getting to work today, thanks :).

Dave,
Nice work on the flooring. Do you also install carpet like you have on your chest?

Nice work, Dave.
However, my question is where was the post thanking Daniel for fixing the big pothole that developed in the rear of the gym?

Thanks, Davey! I appreciated your nice new platforms this morning as I was contemplating how my CFT has continued to get worse. I'm sure it's not the fault of your platform though...or is it?
Speaking if things getting worse...at least I'm not this guy. Ow.

Tamara - What exactly were you doing during MJJ's WOD that made your uterus hurt?

> at least I'm not this guy. Ow.
I had the misfortune of watching that happen live last night. It was really awful. In happier news, I also got to watch my hero, Natalie Woolfolk, perform her lifts. I don't understand how she can lift as much weight as she does.

Davey Rocks!
Regarding my disrespect for Archery - just told them how we were arguing about it. A woman from New York does archery and took her team her range. Apparently it's a lot harder than I realize.

those pictures of baranyai disclocating his elbow are horrifying. poor guy. wasn't that on at 12:30 am? i want to watch the weightlifting but it's at the worst times.

Who is going to do the CF Unlimited throwdown in October. The WODs are Fran, Karen, and Grace!

> wasn't that on at 12:30 am?
I think I saw it at about 8:30 or 9:00 last night. NBC online claimed it was a live feed. I happened to start watching just a few minutes before the ill-fated lift. Aside from his agonized screams, watching him twitch on the ground was very difficult.

thanks, Dave!

Thanks Davey! Your carpet is hot - don't change a thing...
Posted by: Robyn at August 13, 2008 6:01 PM
My Davey: you are simply the handiest (and greatest)man I know--carpet and all!
Connie: For the money, your sweet message is only more proof of the lovely lass that you are! I'm blushing and beaming. Thanks for always making me feel so welcome at CFO.
Enough mush now. Don't let it fool you. It's back to the hard-ass routine as of 6:00 am tomorrow. :)

Tom - what a bummer, I started watching around 10 pm last night and was so engrossed I couldn't get up for the 6am class today.
Davey - thanks for obsessing over crossfit with me back when we just knew it as that place with the crazy workouts. I'm glad we both finally made it in there.
Sherrill - are you better yet? When are you coming back?

Davey we could never be step brothers. Suppose I have a girl over and she sees you coming out of the shower and decides to come on to you. You would be like "I'm looking good, got a luscious v of hair going through my chest pubes down to my ball fro. She takes one look at me and goes 'Oh my god, I've had the old bull now I want the young calf' and grabs me by the weiner." That just wouldn't work for me.
