  • Did you know that “decrement” is a word?

    A YHC was greeted with three brave men this morning and we took a little field trip as follows:

    Moseyed to the square near Police Memorial Way for COP as follows: Dead man hang, tippy toes with hands in the air, left and right side stretches with hands in the air, right arm stretch with left arm pulling and switch sides, leg stretches, etc. Moseyed to the the lake. A set of exercise at each light post: 3 x merkins, 5 x LBC, 7 x squats. Including one broken one, there are 28 light post. Moseyed to the neighborhood on Westover Road for a modified 11. Here, YHC’s instruction with a word “decrement” confused everybody. Run to the white sedan and do 10 LBC and run back to last tree on the street and do one merkin. Next, run to the same white sedan and do 9 LBC and run back to the second last tree, i.e., decrement each tree. Due to interest of time, it was audible. Moseyed back to the flag. Number, names, and announcements. Oyster took us out! Thank you for allowing me to lead this morning! Enjoyed it a lot! The Merriam-Webster says that “decrement” means a gradual decrease in quality or quantity.
