  • No sleep for the wicked!

    2 very enthusiastic men showed up this morning to knock out a 3 mile ruck. YHC moaned and wined about not sleeping again. Beaver is in recovery mode for a little bit. Our sons are driving us a little crazy but we’ll survive!

    YHC was in a rush to cut out to take the kids to school.

    Don’t waste the day!
    OUT

  • A league of our own!

    We had a little birthday Q this morning. Had 8 savages come out into the gloom for a half bootcamp half very competitive ultimate frisbee game. This is how it went down…..

    Warmarama-Same as usual with some extra minutes thrown in there on the wives.

    The Thang!

    100 yard 11s

    • Burpees
    • Jump Squats
    • Run 100 yards between work outs

    Finished up with a 30 minute game of ultimate Frisbee.

    Numbers, Names and Prayer Request for Yukons friend John that is fighting pancreatic cancer. Also his grandma that is having some medical scares.

    Thank yall for coming out this morning and getting the game going. We had a FNG show up and was blocking that net like a pro! So we came up with the name The Ultimate Wall. A few things I pulled away from this game…..

    Wildwood cant catch a frisbee, Beaver plays every game like he plays hockey, Thin Crust has a reach of 10 feet, Olaf might have gotten a concussion, Yukon is a juggernaut, Chowder is always open, Beat It was all over the field like a spider monkey, Sugar Rush just likes to run, The Ultimate Wall is a very intimidating goalie. Choo Choo likes to score goals…….Beat It is becoming a regular out here also.

    YHC and his 2.0 Sugar Rush took us out. Don’t waste the day!

  • Daddy Hoochie Shorts

    Over the weekend the YHC sent out a text and said he wanted to try something that looked easy on paper. Well it wasn’t as easy as the YHC thought it would be once again. Here’s what went down….

    Awesome way to start the week and I’m glad the guys showed up. A lot of chatter this morning about hoochie daddy shorts and how the YHC never has anything that pops out. The YHC believes in about 2 weeks everyone at the lumberyard will be rocking 3” inseam shorts!
