    Plenty of safe (enough) places to workout this morning.  YHC dropped a couple of bombs.  Handshake prefers Attila’s flavor.  Gomer Pyle has a weird Dolly Parton fetish.  Wojo’s still rocking the same sweats since high school.  Tater uses double protection, two hats, at all times.  Pinto is a hot potato Pro, thanks for allowing me to lead.

    What YHC thought might be a brisk mosey/ walk, turned into 5 plus miles and a 5k PR (at least for 2025) thanks to Chippendale’s arrival.  No rest for the weary afterall.  Happy New Year.

    Apparently today is National Short Person Day.  YHC is exactly the US average and a solid inch and a half over the world average, so not sure why Splinter shared that with me.  Doesn’t matter anyway when you far eclipse some more important averages, like intelligence, looks, athleticism, length and girth.  I would enjoy watching this PAX play basketball against another AO though.  Bring it on Alamo A$$clowns or Deep D-Bags.

    Mr. Rogers set the pace, YHC kept up mostly, Pigskin and Handshake brought up the six.  Mr. Rogers and YHC gave my lady friend the ol F3 front yard salute as we passed by.  Wally seemed to be built for today’s conditions, Lulu seemed slightly less enthused.  At coffee, Gomer joined and passed the site Q torch to YHC.  Woot Woot!  Back on top.

    Much debate has been had about the ultimate dream girl from our youth.  Age and generation definitely play a role in the PAX’s opinions.  It is a known fact that anyone younger than YHC is a millennial, but a pre-teen and teenage Hutton was smitten with many starlets over the years from the 1980s through today.  The 70s PAX members tend to agree that the young brunette across the street from Kevin Arnold we all know as Winnie Cooper was a Wonder of creation.  The 80s PAX lean to the bubbly cheerleader from Bayside High better known as Kelly Kapowski, who stole Zack’s heart.  Those younger than YHC were raised on the girl with the crazy name and big ti… I mean hair famously known as Topanga Lawrence.  Fun fact, her guy on Boy Meets World is the real life younger brother of Winnie Cooper’s guy on The Wonder Years.  Another fun fact, YHC met Topanga playing roulette at Treasure Island in Las Vegas about 20 years ago.  So I ask, who is your girl?  Any other submissions?  For the record, mother nature has been very kind to all these ladies.  They’ve aged like a very fine wine.  These younger dudes raised on Hannah Montana must be disgusted these days.  The First Watch Season of Giving continues.  Next up, Last Call.

    When most would complain about the cold, the men of F3 RVA seek colder elements to test their mettle.  Thus a trip across the bridge was in order.  Hitch being Hitch and also plotting out public toilets, was late but able to find the PAX thanks to Handshake being given advance orders while coming in hot as well.  Faceplant’s M is living out a fantasy this month of being married to Inspector Clouseau or possibly a guy that molests pizza dough.  Send UpChuck your address and he’ll happily pin your home on PortaDash.  Wifi password is appreciated.

    On brand, a PAX led by YHC is going to be early to secure the AO.  We were early enough to have Mudslide show us a few moves not on Last Call’s menu before the men of the Bridge were released to the AO.  The Bridge’s friendly greeter affectionately known as Marshmallow was happy to take part.  At one stop during the Escalator Mudslide had the remaining remnants of his peanut butter shampoo licked away by Marshmallow.  Not sure who enjoyed it more.    Cumberland Restaurant hit the spot as usual, mumblechatter was top notch, and Senor Frog wants to know if your portfolio is strong to quite strong?  He says go all in on Crypto.  Whitesnake has the best taste in music of anyone YHC knows.  1st, 2nd, and 3rd F were all experienced on this day.
