i just wanted to give some background info on me and the augers relationship. So first of all i have known the auger since about 1994 back at the raquettime in danvers mass. this is where golds gym is now and i believe its no longer a golds. raquet time was a family owned gym. it was the first gym i ever joined. what it had was a lot of good weightlifting equipment, both free weight and nautilas stuff. it mostly had a great group of guys. best of all i could ride my bike to the gym, that was the most important thing. it was about a 10 min ride. so there was my cardio i would ride in and work out. i used to get a ride on leg nights. every other day i would ride my bike. some of the great characters from the gym have actually died early deaths, but people that i will never forget. some like the infamous jimmy parker. and one of my good friends wayne grenier, big lew peppe , big mike licoli, the crazy dr guy, eric hussey, chris paulino, and many more. but big richie auger kind of kept to him self he was always upbeat, and very excited , you would see him doing air guitar. then we both ended up at a gym called nautilas plus. this was the gym of all gyms. i have been to thousands of gyms all over the world and very few can even compare to come close. just to get an idea it would take you 1 full minute to walk from the mens locker room all the way to the cable crossover machine. it wasn't that the gym was huge, but the gym was amazing. full of characters, full of pro bodybuilders, top powerlifters, athletes, pro wrestlers, and it had the equipment that would allow you to train till you bleed, puke, or pass out. i took full advantage of that. so did the auger i remember one day i was probably hipped up on some energy drink when i walked into the gym i saw the auger standing doing leg press. i started screaming "you got mail" and walked over to him and asked him what time it was? he said there is a clock over there man. he pointed to the wall and i said no man its auger time. auger looked at me puzzled. i screamed its auger time over and over again during each of my sets. i actually screamed it so much that the auger actually got pissed off, he asked me if i wanted to go out side and fist fight . i actually started to laugh for a second because i thought he was joking , then i saw he wasn't joking . in no way did i want to hurt the augers feelings so i just said hey man i am only kidding around. the auger just walked away, pissed off. it was an awkward but good experience looking back we just laugh at the whole situation.
the point is you never know what's going to happen in life . look at this .. now i am helping the auger to complete something never imagined.
so tomorrow we will be going to the grocery store to buy the foods .. we will see how much he spent, and what foods he bought , look forward to tomorrow and stay tuned for day 1 which is sunday please follow this blog and share with your friends ..thanks for reading!
Good Luck!
