So Saturday I am at the gym. Most everyone is out of town and I open and run the gym as usual. I plod through some training and it turned out decent. I wasn't and haven't still got back into training plus for two weeks. I have been hacking up brown flem and blood. It was lessening but still messing with me. I wasn't able to get to the ENT till this past Monday and now I am back on the anti biotic train. But, back to Saturday, I wasn't feeling anything but managed some aight work. My plan was to leave about 1230 to 1, normal time, Chancey comes by and we are hanging out front BSin' . Some cats on their choppers had just left and we were talking(little gossiping). I am talking to him and me not being one to give myself credit for anything as most everything I believe in life is attainable as long as you keep trying for it, I say, "Man, it is really cool to have your own place and be able to enjoy it." We are still standing by the front door outside and at that very second after I say this, we hear a mighty GD crash inside and I look at him and say well that can't be good. The crash is surreal as I have no idea what could have happened
We go back in and look around and I then look over at my giant wall of protein in our brand new store that is barely 4 months old and is is gone! Stunned I walk over as everyone around the gym comes up to see 3/4 of the wall slat and shelving on the floor with probablly a 150 to 200 plus cans of protein are on the floor. Miraculously no one is over there as I am sure they would have been severely hurt by all of this falling in a 6 to 8 foot area. I walk back and forth and put my hand on my head in disbelief at the mess. This is the same head slapping the wife does and her greatest cat in history, Oatmeal favorite thing to do when you messed with him.
Amazingly lots of members start helping to move and pick up things-including Chauncey! It takes about 45mins to clean up with everyone's help and then about another hour for cleaning spilled protein powder which if you know protein powder you know it is a sticky mess out the can. We had alot dented cans but really only loss about 3 cans of protein. No idea how that happens but grateful
After all said and done, I start inspecting the area where the wall was. Now I spent alot of money to have it professionally installed. As when I put things up it can be a 50/50 shot how long it will hold. I get to looking at it and notice on each 8 foot sheet at least 2 wall studs that are not used to secure the slat wall. Additionaly, the top of each sheet are not screwed in all. I surmise the top shelves gave and took the rest of the wall down. I look up the tape and watch it several times and sure enough you see the top shelves drop down on the protein on the next shelf and then the cascade happens and all the protein and shelves fail.It all happens in about 2 to 3 seconds. If you look at facebook, you see these videos all the time where a guy hits one thing and like dominos fall take a whole warehouses down. This is what it looks like.
The construction company is taking care it and that is fine. They are reinforcing the rest of the store as well. I guess what bothers me the most is the god damn shelf gremlins will not leave me alone at least for a few years. I don't know which Gods I have to appease to free me of this but for now it is still a ongoing battle. Lady Luck is still mad at me apparently.
