Who has the Daville Q? 3 guys showed up on a beautiful Monday morning. Trout took the Q. We started with a jog around Atlee to the side entrance near the bus loop. We triangled up and did some warmup exercises: Arm Circles, LBC’s, Merkins and some others. Triple check on the bus loop – 1 ran, 1 stepped up on bench and 1 did merkins. 3 rounds of each exercise. Headed back to the parking lot where we bear crawled to the first island and lunged to the second. We came back to the start with same exercises except backwards. Trouy took us out with a prayer. It was good chatting with the guys. I’m fortunate to get to have the opportunity to hang out/workout with all of the F3 guys. SYITG

Cultural missteps
6 dudes met for various exercises on -or- around a high school campus today. New exercises were completed, Phonics was too tired to be chatty, and Mr. Holland made it known he was not a fan of Pencil Rolls.
This was YHC’s second post at Dapile and YHC’s first time Qing. A few cultural missteps were made on YHC’s part. Apparently Dapile is more like Dagridiron, but the Pax was still very gracious.
Announcements – Labor Day Convergence – at Nuckols Farm new AO. Maybe to be named “Nuckols Deep” or at least it’s officially unofficial.
Prayers – Bulkhead had Knee Surgery yesterday. Continued prayers for his mother as well.
NMS – Thank you to Daville for the opportunity to Q. Also, Lab Rat has recovered the RVA Ghost Flag and its back in action.
