Seven gloom warriors got up a little earlier than usual and freshened up with the hottest new holiday cologne, Eau De Tryhard. Here were the highlights and hilarities:
The THANG: Welcome back to Rodeo Clown for the ruck portion of our Ruckhenge time together, and nice to have Bromance step up to the plate and join the fun. 0500 hit and PAX did a warm up latecomers loop around the parking lot, returning to the Taco to collect Sandy (60# sandbag). Instructions provided to share Sandy around the PAX for the duration of the ruck – Purple Rain had first honors and made it look light. Marched over to Buford Road Pharmacy and did a brief Welcome, Disclaimer, and x10 Squats IC to “warm-up”. Sable did those squats under 100 pounds total, and his grunts of pleasure made us all feel a little warmer somehow… PAX ambled around some neighborhoods and made it back across to Larus Park for a loop on the trails, getting a total of 3 miles in. Well done all!
After COT, Coffeerama at Einstein was packed with humor and deep thoughts. DTH shared a delicious holiday Fudge (thanks to Katniss’s M), and jokes about fudge abounded. Then Rodeo Clown slapped his nut sack down on the table top, ie, he doled out beautifully wrapped baggies of home made Bourbon Espresso Pecans. And then Doublemint regaled us about his serving as a JAG with the National Guard is like being the Shaft of the spear (the tip being the guys going into combat). Sooo you get the picture – fudge packing, nut sacks, and a big shaft… In an effort to discuss the Q Source, Purple Rain shared he had some pillow talk with his M last night reading from the Q Source to his wife. Her reaction was “what propaganda is this?!” The PAX moved on to discuss the topic of Exhortation – concluding that leading by example and investing time listening to someone’s story is what positions you to exhort a brother in love. Awesome time with awesome brothers – heart is full! Yours AYE! ~DTH
