Today we are off again for self-induced body bashing. We saw that the Peak Performance gym had undergone some serious overnight remodeling. Paul and Mary joined a futuristic gym, expecting treadmills and smoothies.
Instead of the usual machines, the trainers greeted us with giant mechanical training arms, spring-loaded punching bags, and a machine called “The Motivator.” “Beginner class!” shouted the JC and Francis (today’s trainers).
Wham! They bounced me onto a foam mat. Boing—Mary was launched into a pile of exercise balls.
After ten minutes, we were dizzy, bruised, and exhausted. “Great workout,” Mary groaned. I nodded from inside a yoga mat where I was hiding. “Same time week after next when we get back?”
Our trainers are great people, although sometimes a little rough around the edges!

JC told us he likes to dance, and her came equipped at the last part at our home.

Even though it was raining, Ethan said he was going to go swimming.

Then Antony arrived (a little late); it’s always business. Antony and his bride brought models of their latest equipment selection for the Peak Performance workout center in Villa Park.

When we arrived back home, we continued packing. I got the electronics almost ready to go! Then we headed back in to the Elks to visit Bob and Bill, since we wouldn’t see them for two weeks.
Lunch was excellent, and then we headed hom,e where Mary took her now-famous “Post Elks Np””. I woke her up at 4:00 p.m., and we continued packing and getting ready for Dianne’s Birthday Party at the OC Mining Company!
We arrived at 6:00 pm sharp, and everyone was already there! The pictures tell the entire story!

Once the party got started, there was no turning back!!!

We called the Fire Department ahead of time!

Fast Eddie was taken by surprise!

I was serious for about 45 milliseconds tonight!

Caught escaping! Dian,th her brother, and her sister exiting the establishment!

We met Robin at home and finished packing. We have to hit the sack by 10:00 pm, since we need to be up at 2:00 am for a 4:00 am departure to LAX.
