I have something in mind and it's not the potted plant Laree bought at WalMart.
Time to wrap up the weekly IronOnline newsletter, old friends.
We started the IronOnLine 20 years ago in the last months of 1999. Having dabbled in math my entire life - counting sets and reps, pounds and tons lifting and sorting body part combinations - estimate we have published 800 iron column numbers during this, the 21st century.
Whatever, we've decided it's time to pack up and catch the next train to "Dodge."
Here's how the decision came about: Our electricity was cut off by "Pacific Gas & Electric" for a few days a couple of weeks ago to prevent a potential fire during high winds. No power, no internet ... no news.
The following week, we moved our website and endured the delusional intricacies and disappointments that the change brought ... ugh ... No IronOnline news topped the list. may he Rest In Peace.
... hmmmm. . . Mmmm . . . mmm. . .
No liability for a two-week weekly newsletter. . . how do you say? a relief, capital R. . We loved it! A lot!
Twenty years later, as cool as it is, (we're on the brink of burned) (burned border). KaLunk, Boink, Bomp !!!
So, with love and crossed eyes, mighty hands clenched and a tear in the eye, we are signing.
Brother Dave
