Morrison Strength...

This is the Morrison family lifting the 500lb wall-unit that Ryan built:

This is the Morrison family still lifting:

This is also the Morrison family lifting still:


And after all that, a word of advice from Kevin: "If you're lifting something that weighs 500 pounds, don't leave it on your shoulder, because if there's a sudden shift in weight and you have 500 pounds slam down on your shoulder...your shoulder comes out of its socket." Like this:


Note: It looks like a smile. It is. Kevin smiles sometimes when he's in terrible pain. Way to hang in there, Kevin.

I love that Ryan, the Andre the Giant of the Morrison clan, is basically just supervising in that last shot while Kevin, the Charles Dickens of the clan, is busy permanently injuring himself through hard labor. You guys need new management.

it was more of a shock moment than a supervision moment. ryan doesn't understand what's happening when other people can't lift as much as he can. he gets confused.

My eyes almost exploded when I saw these pictures.

It's a flaw of mine. I laugh when I'm dying. It's just more fun than crying. And people laugh with me... like dad is laughing here.

but seriously, my arm was no longer connected as the instruction manual depicts. It is now, but once you open the wrapping, it's never valued at mint condition again. Getting old is fun (Insert my laugh here).

I should also point out that my lovely wife is still snapping pictures AFTER I have announced that my shoulder is busted.

I think it should be noted the quality of camera's that technology has been able to create as of late, for no camera in history would have been able to contain as beastly a shot as any of these.

lol

So did you actually get it installed, or should we send provisions to keep you alive while you hold it in place?

BTW Kev ... is the knee brace the result of another of Ryan's great ideas?

the knee brace comes from mud football. Beware of mud that sucks your leg in while the rest of your body continues forward...

Ha. I can see Ryan's confusion now. I still have vivid memories of him skipping blithely up our front stairs with three heavy boxes while the rest of us struggled with one.

Maybe not skipping, exactly.

Oh, no, you're right, Denise. He's secure enough to skip.
