August 15-17 2025 at the Blue Arena in Loveland Colorado. I have been to the last 3 and they have been amazing. When you buy front row floor seats they come with an athlete panel the day before the event. You get to ask the strongmen questions, they feed you a nice meal, and you get a very nice goodie bag. You also get a meet and greet with all the athletes after the show on Sunday night to get autographs and pictures.

The athletes also stay next door at the Embassy Suites so you see them all week long at breakfast and many other times. My favorite active strongman smokes cigarettes and I got to BS and have a smoke with him last year.

I was lucky enough to win an auction for a pair of tickets to the Jets/Patriots game a few weeks ago. I won them in a charity auction for the Make a Wish Foundation. They were 3 rows behind the Pats bench at about the 35 yard line and included a parking pass. I won them for $400 dollars.

I'm a Pats fan and have been since the late 60's. That was the closet, and by far, the best seats I ever had. It was a great experience. I got a couple of autos (Bourne, Pop Douglas), beautiful weather, great seats and a perfect outcome when the Patriots scored with 22 seconds left to win the game to beat our hated rival. I expected the Pats to get smoked quite honestly. This was a bucket list item for me. I'm starting to do them now that I'm getting older (66 tomorrow).

I did the "Wall" at Fenway in 2023 as another bucket list item.

A recent buy made me really happy. I bought 3 pinbacks on ebay for $16.53 including tax and shipping. I sold a damaged one for $250.00 and put the other 2 in an auction and hoping to get around $600-$700 each. So that's a nice profit.

Good to hear that the treatments are working for you. I completed 28 radiation treatments for prostate cancer on October 21st. The side effects are just about gone now.
