  • Surprise it’s a MURPH

    Surprise it’s a MURPH

    The drugs are finally kicking in as YHC starts to write this… YHC’s muscles are very soar… Also thanks for humoring YHC this morning gentlemen for a fine workout! YHC had done a preliminary warning shot across the bow on el Slacko but some of the less internet tech savvy non Slack users missed the warning and unfortunately showed up, sorry guys.

    Weather man said humid and humid it was, welcome to the summer folks.

    COP, well there really wasn’t a COP since we got right on it for our 1 mile run so we could finish all the rounds of the MURPH in time. Yes sir, I said MURPH, what would the eve of Memorial Day weekend be without a way to make those burger flipping and beer drinking arms soar and useless. 1 mile mosey around and down Pump House road and over to the Rusty Cage. YHC posted a phone with a timer that beeped every minute. each minute for 20 minutes do 5 pullups, 10 merkins, and 15 air squats, and for all those math enthusiasts that gives you 100 pullups, 200 merkins, and 300 air squats, that’s 600 total reps. The troops performed very well, so well a curious deer came over to sniff around Slippin Jimmy to see what all the hub-bub was about.

    The PAX knocked out all 20 rounds just in time for the 1 mile mosey back to the flag. Everyone made it in under 45 minutes, that’s nothing to sneeze at.

    Numbers, Names, announcements and YHC took us out in prayer followed by Hitchhiker with prayerful words for Slippin Jimmy’s family.

High praise for YHC’s M, otherwise known as Vaccination Incident Commander and Logistical goddess.

    Blood Drive, BRR, and Daville Relay Race

    NMS

    With Swirly alerting us he wasn’t going to be there this morning; it was nice to pull in and see BT standing there and finally back from his month-long vacation in the Bahamas… One was thinking if he would ever make it back to the United States with all the covid protocols keeping him and his family from coming back. It is great to have him back and hope him and his family are healthy and happy to be back on US soil!

    As we were starting to Mosey, Bodo’s was driving and asking where we were heading and couldn’t think of the name so I said the circle past Burpee Row.. which brought a little confusion, but glad he was able to find us! I learned it is called the Courtyard or the area where the statue used to be. Safe travels to Bodo’s and his family as they are heading down to Charleston!

    Thanks for letting me lead men! Always a pleasure!

  • Not very lucky at card games

    YHC has never been lucky at cards, and YHC wanted the PAX to share in that lack of luck this morning. YHC was banking on it being a quiet Wdog morning but instead the numbers were high, and so were the spirits and YHC tempered those spirits with what came next.

    COP:

    YHC led the PAX in some light stretching

    stretch hands into the air, then touch your toes, then arm across chest and stretch, then do other arm, then helicopters, then Donny Q’s. All done at a very very slow pace.

    Then fun started, YHC pulled out a deck of cards and brief the PAX, the rules of the card game went like this –

    • Hearts = SSH
    • Diamonds = Merkins
    • Spades = WW2s
    • Clubs = Squats
    • Each face card had a different location written on it
      • Ace = Amphitheater
      • Kings = the Pump House
      • Queen = the Stage
      • Jack = the Flag
    • There were three jokers in the deck
      • Joker 1 = 45 burpees
      • Joker 2 = 20 dips @ the Rusty Cage
      • Joker 3 = 30 Pullups @ the Rusty Cage

    Using his magic skills Bodos shuffled the deck, Shiplap cut the deck and the PAX was off. YHC pulled a card from the top of the deck and did the exercise per the suit and the number of reps is the number on the card. When YHC pulled a face card the PAX would run to said location. As the PAX moved through the card deck it became apparent that YHC had overestimated the number of face cards relative to the distance of running, the PAX was not a fan so YHC made an audible on some of the running.

    The only other surprise was that when ‘the Stage’ card was drawn all of the following exercises would be done with Coupons!

    The PAX moved through the deck of cards moseying to spots and doing the exercises.

    Mosey back to the flag for the final round. Then for the last 30 seconds YHC led the PAX in YHC’s favorite, the have a nice day stretch.

    YHC took it out with a prayer for battle.

    Announcements: Tomato run Part II on April 24th, see the pre-blast for more info! Sign up for BRR too!
