Power Trip

Yogurl and I were supposed to go to visit my family for the weekend of the 4th of July, but I got a call from work saying I had to stay in the local area just in case they needed me to work to help fight fires nearby. So we ended up going down this past weekend instead. It was a lot of fun. The traffic was pretty bad going through LA, big surprise, but we got there just fine. My little nephew has gotten so big I could hardly believe it. He is so adorable, too. When he wants you to do something for him, he'll grab your finger and pull it where he wants you to go. It's so cute! One day, sadly, he'll probably learn that pulling on uncle Manburger's finger is dangerous business.
While we were up there, my brother took us to a Japanese steakhouse. We had never been to a Teppanyaki place before, and it was super cool. The chef was some white guy, so I was pretty suspicious at first. He also threw a spatula at my face by accident, but once he warmed up for a minute, he was really good. Then in the evening we watched some professional fights. Yogurl wasn't too sure that she wanted to watch them, but then she really got into it. It probably had something to do with Andrei Arlovski, but that is another story altogether.
After we came home, we finally got our powerblocks! I have been waiting for these for what feels like forever. They are dumbbells that adjust by using a selector pin to quickly change the weight. I am so pumped up to have them. I have wanted a set since I was in high school. Next time you see Yogurl, she will probably be ready for Miss Olympia.
