C. Burgers, a couple of beers and spilt a slice of peanut butter cup pie with my wife at The Blazing Onion Burger Company in Snohomish, WA.

Regret not being able to push through 2 more reps on the thrusters, but otherwise feel pretty happy with my score. Chest to bars were better than last year, but still need additional improvement.
