This week is the 25th Anniversary on the death of Steve McQueen, and they are running a show on the Turner Classics Network (I think that is the network) called Steve McQueen, the Essence of Being Cool. Now this special looks to have some age to it, so many of you may have seen it already. But those who have not, this is absolutely required viewing for anyone who resides in Steveville or carries a Steve name (or for anybody else that has a pulse). This is worth watching, if you like fast cars, women, a zest for life, love of family and lots of motorcycles.

Big ups to Ima! There is nothing nobler than coming to the aid of those chronologically advanced.
Are you making a POSITIVE difference in the life of kids?

Good Catch, Superiorsteve...didn't notice that at first, but how appropriate. Uncle Ted always takes care of his own...good stuff. They have been showing all of his movies this week, as well. Last night, they had The Great Escape, The Cincinnati Kid and many others. The special is well worth the watch...especially for those of us old enough to remember when his movies were first released.

Another piece of trivia (just learned this last night)...In the movie "The Great Escape", Steve McQueen did all of his own riding and stunts (with the exception of jumping the fence near the end of the movie). He also did the riding in the scenes where the Germans were chasing him on motorcycles. They said he was filmed as Hilts on his shots, park the bike, change into German uniform and then proceed with the shots of McQueen chasing McQueen. Good Stuff!!

Agree with Randy, taking care of family shows character. Also know that the Steve family will support BlueCollarsteve every step of the way.
Game, set, match...Steveville.

Bracket-man ....... excellent research! ....... there is a documentary on the making of The Great Escape which is riveting ........ it actually has interviews with some of the men who participated in the escape and takes them back to the actual site ...... the tunnels had been excavated and it was amazing what these vets could recall ........ as for BlueCollar steve ...... he has really worked hard wrestling several events and training whenever he could ...... I sure hate to see him miss this opportunity ....... but you and Randy got it right ..... he's a young man of good character ..... family first.

Would like to see the documentary you are talking about. Stories from actual participants are usually interesting and often times chilling.
Sounds like BlueCollarsteve is going to be a keeper and continue the tradition started by Psycho, Haji, Caleb and the rest of the troops. He will certainly have the best coaching a person could ask for. I know he is in good hands.

Thanks! Sure wish we could stretch him about 4 or 5 inches and put about 50 pounds on him!

Roadwork and the weight room...don't know about the 4 or 5 inches, but these young men grow up right before our eyes. It is amazing the growth spurts they experience. They go from kids to young men (and the pounds come with it) almost instantly. You will find a place for any hard worker, better yet, he will make his place by his hard work. It's all good, isn't it?

To Broke A** Steve, Capt Steve, Psychosteve and anyone else who would be interested in taking this topic to Page 8, you are but a couple of entries away from there. See you on the other side.

Absolutely ..... and he's one of those kids that is so coachable ..... he understands that we will work him harder than he wants to work ..... and he'll step it up because he understands that to compete (and I mean compete), you have to train your body and mind ...... practice doesn't really begin until you're exhausted ..... after that, we see who is really training to be a champion!

Superiorsteve...thought I would let you know that the Steve McQueen documentary "The Essence of Cool" premiered on Turner Classics Network on Wednesday, it was also shown last night. Not sure how many more times it will be shown, as last week was the 25th Anniversary of his death. Just an FYI in case they do not plan on showing any more and you would like to get the ol' VCR fired up soon. It is an excellent watch and truly in the theme of Steveville. Be well and keep up the good work!!

Thanks, Bracket-man ........ sure do appreciate the heads-up and your support of us and our program in Steveville! ..... I will check the listings today ....... I think I may have stumbled on to a new training regimen last night ....... a buddy and I bailed approximately 600 gallons of water out of our baasement window as it streamed in during last night's rainstorms ...... we were getting about 5 gallons every 90 second ...... had to tote and empty the full water bucket in time empty the bucket that was filling ....... good strength and cardio workout ....... a bit long though ...... worked out from midnight to about 5 am ....... maybe have to keep training and get in one of those old farts tournaments!
