Love you always, Grandpa James Agbayani...

Today is the 1 year anniversary that he passed away in Honolulu, HI.

One of the greatest joys in my life was to always see him smile whenever we saw each other.  I always miss you Grandpa and hope to be half the great man that you were.

Your grandson,

Grant

Ben Seath strict pressing 225 lbs. 

The sign says, "No kids allowed" but Seath is here.  LOL

A great workout today with Ben,  He is getting ready to compete in the "Northwest Iron Wars powerlifting contest" on May 12th, and I will be competing in the "Sequim Strongman Showdown" on May 11th.

Thanks for the hospitality Ben and a big "mahalo" to Don Bell (owner of Timber Gym) for letting me get a workout this afternoon!
