    Great to have a lot of visitors today, Rosie, Stump Jumper is back in town, and Globe Life visitors Glow and Fuzzy Navel.  Fuzzy Navel is a part-time bartender, so hence the moniker.  Welcome back Ronnie!

    Where was Handshake? Must have missed Horneydo.

    Great work from the PAX.  God is good all of the time!

  • No One Stays Dry

    Absent a few fart-sackers, five noble warriors assembled in the dew of the morning to a late-night Q volunteer.  Here is how it went down:

    • COP
      • SSH
      • IW
      • DQ
      • Helicopters
      • Arm circles
      • Suzanne Somers
      • Merkins
      • LBC
    • Cumulative beast
      • 180 HRM
      • 144 WWII sit-ups
      • 108 side crunches – each side
      • 72 monkey humpers
      • 36 2x crab cakes
      • Last round – 36 burpees as out of time
    • COT with YHC taking us out

    Great work from the PAX today.  Great to have Whitesnake back.  Too bad Horneydo and Handshake were not there.  Many of the PAX have been injured at some point in the last 6 months, so grateful hearts that we were able to come together and do some ground and pound.  The ground was moist to say the least, so no one went home dry. 

    God is good all of the time!

      • SSH
      • IW
      • DQ
      • Helicopters
      • Arm circles
      • Dead man hang

    Great work by the PAX.  Pigskin and Gypsy came in neon.  There was a local runner dressed comparably.  They bonded.  They tried to create a nickname for this group.  Lightning Bugs stuck.  They are cute.  

    The PAX stayed dry today, so that was a win.

    God is good all of the time!

  • Brownish Red Air Quality

    Air quality was not great, but the PAX was stellar.  Here is how it went down:

    • COP
      • SSH
      • IW
      • DQ
      • Helicopters
      • Arm circles
      • Dead man hang

    Great work from the PAX.  Air quality was RED, with some PAX exhaust mixed in.  For those that do not know, Homer does not own a shirt with sleeves, and Offshore tried to set a record for numbers of curls in light of alternative exercise chosen.  See you in the gloom!

    God is good all of the time!

  • ASS to be Notified of Violations

    It was a super HAWT POTATO at Gridiron this morning.  Here is how it went down:

    • Gypsy
      • No COP, just an 11 with merkins and some crazy squat jacks
    • Lighthouse/Mariner – a beast
      • Burpees
      • FM
      • Squats
      • HRM
      • H2H
      • Crunchy frogs
    • Gomer Pyle
      • Super-sized curb crawl (up to 5 and down to 1) with bear crawls, lunges, crab walks, and crawl bears
    • Pigskin – his traditional wall routine 3x
      • Wall sits
      • Balls to the wall
      • Donkey kicks
    • Attila – 3x check
      • Merkins
      • WWII sit-ups
      • Run the loop
    • Chum Bucket – stretches
    • COT with YHC taking us out

    HAWT POTATOES suck.  Everyone brings their fastball.  Homer was disgruntled.  Much of the mumble-chatter will be reported to the Asian Social Society (“ASS”) for various violations.  Out of fear of being targeted by ASS, no further discussion.  We have been warned. 

    Summer tour is on.

    God is good all of the time!

    Announcements include the assumed July 4th convergence TBD.   Summer tour is underway.


    God is good all of the time!

    Convergence on Memorial Day at Tredegar at 7 am.

    God is good all of the time!
