Tag: Tunnel Vision

Yes it was snowing – yes it was slippy – that does not stop folks from heading out though. The Q gave a few more minutes grace for the unexpected car clean up and then got to it. According to the geese a laying and the swans a swimming on the lake this is what went down, more or less.

Burpee warmup. Recon the trails around Wellesley past the tennis courts, down by the basketball courts and around the lake. The decking at the clubhouse is still under construction so was not able to complete the trek around the lake and hit time when headed BTTVSF. Only one other set of footprints out there from part of the way. Quiet.

YHC prayed for the PAX and their families in the holiday season. 2F at Einsteins with Hutton and Handshake.

NMS – Solo posting is tough – but since no one else was out on foot – and just a few cars made for plenty of winter wonderland. It really was coming down at one point and was strange seeing ducks / geese with their backs covered in snow paddling round the lake.

PSA – Please clean up your cars completely for visibility and safety – you are not qualified to drive a tank through a minimal periscope view and we are not in combat zone where we dont have to worry about what we run over. Further, frozen sheets flying off of VAN and SUV roofs can create driving hazards and injuries. Safety is worth the extra 15 seconds to do it right.

Get some!

6 Swole Studs gathered on a warm morning to see what WestHoes newest AO had to offer. According to the Rabbits that ran by this is what went down more or less.

Gomer Q. Welcome. Gitty up start: 8 Burpees. Mosey to the Tunnel. 10 Merkins at each overhead bulb. Mosey to the Tennis courts for a short COP, all IC: Mountain Climber x25, Turn & Bounce x10, DQ x10, Deadman Hang with VMI extension, LBC x 15, uphill LBC x 25, L leg straight LBC x 15, R leg straight x15, both legs six inches x15, both legs 45 deg x 10, both legs 90 x 10, APD x10, Tuscaloosa Trailer Park Twister (uphill) x10.

Blue Moon took us out. Prayers for those seeking jobs. Healthy pax and families

NMS – Eschewing Members Only as it sounds too exclusive and various offered aviation terms or other euphemisms Roger Roger settled on Tunnel Vision – because you know, we are so focused on our goals.

TIL that there are 400 LI batteries in the cabin on each flight. For years YHC and other road warriors are responsible for at least 5-6 (laptop, tablet, phone, small battery backup, large battery backup, headphones, etc) so its easy to do the math. The issue is that many are very cheaply made with minimum standards and more importantly if they catch fire (daily – at least one) they are difficult to extinguish while in flight as the airlines in their infinite wisdom wont let us crack the windows to vent to atmosphere like you can on a spacecraft. And it turns out there is only so much baking power carried on each flight. So silly.

Also we found the nearest AED at the pool safely behind a fence that we need something bigger than a pickup to knock down. Luckily YHC has a lot of experience with heavy equipment – if you know what I mean – and there is a Bobcat supporting the construction work.

Get Some!

Gomer has his ramp build on the Southside tomorrow.  Reach out for details.  Prayers up for many in the PAX dealing with tough times.  God is good all of the time!

Thanks for letting me host the first one at our soon to be named AO. Some good names were thrown around and one that is standing out is Members Only, Wet Caps, Wells Bells, and a couple were quickly shot down. Lots of Mumble chatter to throw the counts off and mess with the Q. All in the excitement of a new AO and getting the opportunity to name it. Stay tuned and come participate. We will blast this on the Wells Bells Facebook page and paper copies to the Members only page to make awareness of our presence. Come out next week for a spooky spectacular debut at Attila’s lair on October 31st.
