1 HIM made his way to The LumberYard for a nice 2 mile snow ruck! Paid the late fee of 10 burpees it’s worth it to get warm immediately!
Snow covered trail made it a smooth 2 mile ruck around the lumberyard – peaceful ruck to scope the land as I prepare for my first Q this Saturday!
Looking forward to the seeing the PAX this week!
5 Quadzillas emerged on the gloom ready for a Beaver F3ver style beatdown and by God, it could’ve been a whole lot worse, but after 40 minutes we lightened it up with some CSAUP games. You’re welcome guys.

2 HIM’s met this morning at The Lumberyard for a nice morning 3 mile ruck to get the day started. Conversations about work, life, family is always a delight but I am very glad I spoke up about needing a haircut! And I was not so surprised when Yukon Cornelius stated another one of his talents as he is a barber! Excited to get cleaned up later today but the man himself! Having thrown around coupons and doing all the various workouts we do with our hands, can’t wait to see what he can do with clippers and trimmers! Excited for this week ahead as I may be Q’ing my first workout this Saturday proposed by Beaver and Choo Choo – which is an honor to lead these men! More to come!
The texts started going out this morning to make sure it wasn’t gonna be a solo show. To my surprise Pool Boy was already cutting donuts and doing some trail riding to warm up. After kidnapping Yukon from his house this is what went down…..

Mumble chatter of previous rucks we’ve talked about trying to get more distance in. We started out rucking into the neighborhood under a shooting star. After a quick loop I let the guys know we’re going the distance. We started to mosey, I called out to the group to pick a house and that’s where we would slow to our usual pace. This is how we continued throughout the ruck to get us past the 5K mark. Intermittently finding markers to run to. This was definitely a calf burner on the hills but a great warmup for the Beaver Q. Choo Choo probably thought they’re was an emergency as we ran to meet up with him to interrupt his parking lot broga/ run session. We did finish up a few minutes early to meet the new FNG’s. Numbers are growing in the lumberyard with a promising 2025. Great work fellas.
100-4-100 The celebration of reaching 100 posts before the end of 2024. I started with F3 in May, Choo Choo shortly after and Beaver shortly after that. We all reached 100 posts about the same time. Props to Choo Choo and Beaver for starting up the lumberyard and reaching these numbers so fast. I wanted to do something special and stupid. Everything was 100 count or 100 yards. We even had an FNG. Special thanks to the guys who traveled an hour to be here. Several completed the list and added to it. Great job by all. What a way to finish 2024 and looking forward to an even better 2025. I want to shout of Big Rig for dragging me out on that Tuesday back in May to get me where I am today. I want to thank everyone for continuing to push me since then.
Quick 2.5 mile ruck to warm up for the lumberyard CSAUP. The rain held off for a beautiful December morning ruck. Great mummble chatter with Choo Choo. We had a beautiful view of the morning light poking through the clouds and a Beaver running the football field.
It was a great Saturday gloom for 4 HIM’s in The Lumberyard! Choo Choo finally made it out after working downrange in WV this week, it was great to have him back.
Quick Warmarama! – Cherry Pickers IC 10, DQ’s IC 10, Ukrainian Soldiers IC 10, Fudd’s Wife?, Wilson’s Wife, Roscoe’s Wife.
The Thang!
Rendition of a rendition of The Beast and The Alpha. The Omega! 8 reps x8 sets x8 rounds.

Included: Merkins, LBC’s, Squats, Shoulder Taps, Crunchy Frogs, Diamond Merkins. YHC cut it short for the next COP.
Pool Boy and I almost splashed Merlot! But we kept the cork on it!
COP 2
A game I learned down in Newport News. Requires F3 Workout Card deck and Frisbees. Q establishes launch point to throw frisbees to concrete pad. Run to pick up your frisbee after throwing to bring it back. If you miss the concrete = 5 burpee penalty when you get back. All PAX after disc retrieval regardless of concrete or grass landing, flip over their own card from the deck to preform the workout. All workouts are 25 reps. All MOT is the soccer field and back. All 100 count cards are as is. The PAX pulled a world class move in joining me as YHC drew the Bear Crawl card at the end of the workout. Excellent support guys, I’m glad I didn’t have to do it alone, that’s one of the many perks of this group!
Numbers and Names
YHC closed us out in COT and prayer. Praying for the health of our HIM’s and family members.
Last weekends sermon at church has been on my mind, and I want to share it here. It is up to us to choose to be joyful or not in our daily lives. Do everything you can with joy in your heart, even if it might not be a joyful experience.
Merry Christmas to you and your families gentlemen! See you in the gloom.
7 Hims came out this morning to play on some frosty Bermuda grass and this is how it went down…..

Finished up with some new work outs with tennis balls and had some frisbee action thrown in there also.
Names, Numbers and Prayer request for Hoosier Daddy son that just got released from hospital and will be hopefully joining us next Saturday.
Had Shawn ( FNG) come out this morning finally. He’s a long time friend of the YHC. He’s a pipe fitter for the art museum. He got his name from pretty much wrecking everything the YHC has had for the past 25 years. Awesome group of guys this morning and grateful for these guys putting up with the YHC after a crappy week of pretty much no sleep!
YHC took us out!!
