River Road & Ridge

9 studs and 1 Rusty Q kicked off Wednesday right at River Road’s earliest post. With a white pickup full of coupons (Thanks Kubota!) and a Q who refused to abide by the “keep it in the parking lot” rules/suggestions, The PAX concoursed the River Road Baptist campus coupon in hand.

Seven night stalkers moved further, faster, and fought harder in the latest edition of First Watch. Conditions were 70 and sunny. According to their leader hiding in the bushes, the following might possibly have happened: Mosey from the parking lot to the back of RRC, Baptist. Whoa – on coming car split the PAX. Leader in front on one side of the road, six PAX on the other. Q proceeded to perform one burpee at each speed hump. Meanwhile, being mentally alert, physically strong, and morally straight, the PAX determined to catch up, or, failing that, attempt a mutiny: the…

So Fireman Ed is now 50. 14 stallions including the Fireman (who isn’t a Fireman) converged for a coupon disc golf extravaganza this morning at the wee hour of 5. Ed showed up around 4:45 to find a Woodfin truck and thought “Handshake is early” but it was the great Senor Frog. Once all the PAX gathered we did the following: COP: DMH, HRMs, FMs (until multiple PAX sounded the gaseous trumpets), ACs. Partner up. One partner has the coupon the other has the discs. Mosey to Club Vista. Catch me if you can. P1: 5 burpees P2: Mosey with…

Gumbo was on the menu this morning for the first time (but not the last time) at First Watch and it was a seating for 11. These are the side dishes and accoutrements served along side the Gumbo: 0530 and time to Mosey – right out of the parking lot and YHC may or may not have gotten lost or disoriented in the darkness.
