    The Suicide Dora seemed to quiet the PAX down. YHC could hear very little mumble chatter. The 4 corners add another challenge as YHC was introduced to the mud pit at the back of the playground. Luckily PAX looked after each other and no one was injured.

    Welcome to Rebar and Flyover! Rebar who is friends with Fudd is studying for is Bar Exam (side note for the 3rd time). Flyover is MARV’s brother-in-law from Iowa. Glad to have you fellas and you make it out again soon

  • Breaking out the Christmas Dumplings

    3 men took some time during this Christmas season to a meal a to some of those that could use some good comfort food and solid conversation.

    We pulled out at 5:10 with food ready to be severed. YHC had some trouble with following directly but after a quick detour to the front of the building we made our way up the stairs.

    We were greeted with a friendly welcome and got to work setting up.

    On the meal today was some chicken and dumplings, apples, mashed potatoes with gravy, salad, and finally a Richmond staple Ukrop’s cake

    We had the honor to sever and speak with 14 individuals who all have great stories to share.

    YHC was truly humble by this experience. During this Christmas holiday season we get so caught up in the present we “have” to buy for our kids or making sure that we don’t get the wrong thing for our wife. We forget there are those that can’t be with their families during Christmas. Also there are those that don’t have a family and a simple act of kindness like bring a warm meal and means more than you can ever image.

    Thanks to Bulkhead and our newest F3 RVAer (Surge) for helping out tonight. Surge is YHC best friend since the two of us were in the 3rd grade. Glad to finally have him and out.

    Stay humble and kind F3RVA!!

    SPIT ON THAT!!

  • 199 + MANNDate =

    6 Warriors of the Ville came in hot and ready to get your bells on for YHC’s 200th post of the year

    The SF was planted, the extra bells were laid out, and the PAX got to work.

    This how it when down

    COP (ALL IC) – SSH, Helicopter, DQ, LBC’s, Crab Cakes, Merkins, Arm Circles

    THANG

    Grab your KB head to the opposite side of the parking lot next to the school sign

    The Somewhat Suck – 5 exercise stations and 1 rabbit who while wearing a 30 lb weighted ruck sack, lunged to the end of the parking lot and back (about 15th of a mile). When the rabbit returned, everyone switches to the next station.  Exercise stations were:

    1. KB Swings
    2. Halos
    3. Goblet Squats
    4. Cleans
    5. Turkish Get Up

    Four Corners – To celebrate YHC’s 200th post in 2018 the PAX completed the following

    • 50 Rows
    • 50 Goblet Squats
    • 50 Merkins
    • 50 Sit Up Presses

    hallelujah carrier between the short corners and around the world between the long corners

    Mosey to the SF

    KB Dying Cockroach – While in the cockroach position, hand your KB to your partner who is holding their hands up, reach turn the start position, reach back up for KB and return back to start. This equals one rep. Complete 10 each.

    Numberama, Namerama, and Announcements. YHC took us out

    MOLESKIN

    YHC thought he may have to go lone wolf today and was ready to grab the ruck sack while at 5:29 the rest of the back started to roll in.

    Great to have Rounders out for two in a row and showing us all up with is massive KB

    Thanks to Gumbo for the idea of “The Suck” and to Carpenter to give it the name “Somewhat Suck”. Also YHC can’t count since first he only called out 4 exercises.

    It was great to be back out at MANNDate. Since YHC normally leads a bible study on Wednesday, he hadn’t been to out on that morning since early September. Couldn’t have been a better place to get in number 200.

    ANNOUNCEMENTS

    • Breaking Bread this Sunday – Get with Spit if you can help out!

    SPIT ON THAT!! 

  • 75 Meets 70

    4 Beach Warriors and 1 Down-ranger arrived at a soaked Mount Trashmore to get their Sunday started off right. The F3 Hampton Roads App said it was 75 and Sunny but YHC’s RVA app said it was 70 and Sunny. YHC trust the RVA app. Some Shovel Flags were planted and the PAX got to work.

    This is how it went down

    COP (ALL IC) – SSH, Cherry Pickers, Hillbillies, DQ, LBC’s, Heels to Haven, Merkins

    THANG

    Mosey around the AO and up the stairs to top of the hill

    Triple Check –  Two are doing Wilson’s Boxing Dying Cockroach while the third guy is running down the hill to the bathroom then back up. Switch, Rinse, and Repeat for three times each

    11’s – Start with 10 WWII-Situps, run across the top of the hill and up to the pole then complete 1 Merkins. Rinse and Repeat till 1 WWWII and 10 Merkins (The PAX stayed together and planked for the six when necessary)

    Mosey down the hill to the pull up bars

    Ring of Fire – The PAX switched off completing 5 Burp-Ups while the rest of the PAX inclined planked and completed Heels to Haven

    Mosey back up the hill then down the stairs. AYG back to the SF for Numberama, Namerama, COT, and Announcements. Dreamliner took us out

    MOLESKIN

    It’s always great to come to Hampton Roads and post at SlothHill this one was even better since YHC got to Q. YHC always enjoyed some good mumble chatter catching up with this PAX.

    The WBDC’s was a hit! Wilson you would be proud that your exercise has made itself out of RVA. One correction we realize even the acronym is a mouth full so Hampton Roads will just be calling the BDC’s

    During the 11’s we where using a very “slight” hill at the top of Mount Trashmore. YHC realized about halfway through that hill became not so “slight”.

    T-Claps go out to Snowman who gave it all he had at the end pushing Dreamliner to race him to the SF.

    CIRCLE OF TRUST (COT)

    From the reading plan YHC leads with his 9th grader boys small group titled “Joy To The World”

    “Hope, joy, and peace are all words we see everywhere during the Christmas season. But when was the last time you stopped to think about why those words show up so much? What do they actually mean for us? As this verse in Romans reminds us, hope, joy, and peace are all things we can have when we trust in God. Why? Because God is actually the source of all those things! Where in your life do you feel like you need more hope, joy, or peace?”

    Romans 15:13 – “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

  • Are we going to throw these blocks???

    6 Davillians arrived for a snowy end of the week beatdown

    This how it went down:

    Mosey a lap around the church

    COP (ALL IC) – SSH, Hillbillies, DQ, LBC’s, AL Prom Date, Merkins, Arm Circles

    THANG

    Mosey to the Q’s SUV to pick up our coupons for the morning (cider blocks for those over the age of 11 and 15lb KB for the twins) then head to the pavilion

    Wilson’s boxing dying cockroaches – 3 set of 20 each partner

    Mosey to the field

    Mosey back to the SF for Numberama, Namerama, Announcements, Opus took us out

    MOLESKIN

    All a fun time with coupons are involved. It seemed at first YHC would be lone wolf today but Opus rolled in at 5:27 followed shortly after by the Jett clown truck.

    Mumble chatter was low other than Mudface trying to get the 2.0 to listen. This seems to be a repeating thing at The Creek.

    Title of the backblast was the questioned Mudface ask YHC at the beginning since the last time cinder blocks were used at The Creek was in the middle of the winter, the temp was a warm 9 degrees, and all the blocks cracked with we throw them during Mudface’s Q. Looking blocks survived this time around.

    YHC is seeking some HC for Breaking Bread next Sunday for the DaVille PAX

  • A Snowy Ruck

    2 DaVille Ruckers made their way through the 10+ inches of snow to enjoy a stroll through the winter wonderland.

    Mumble Chatter was not in short supply with LabRat present. Everything from the snow to current shows everyone was watching was discuss. All we solved all life problems so your welcome.

    A loop around the schools and a few roundabouts to get in 2.67 miles in 50 minutes.

    SPIT ON THAT!!

    YHC went to Honey Meadows as well. Did a lap around the Estates, hit the small trail passed the clubhouse pond then back for 3ish miles
