A concert was announced for Folsom and 9 strong with 2 FNG’s showed up for an old man Q in his hometown.

Warmup

SSH  x 10 IC, Cotton Pickers x 10 IC, Imperial Walkers x 10 IC, Moroccan Night Clubs for a while.  During this warm up, Pizza Man and Tyson roll through on a run pushing Ashlyn (Pizza’s 2.0) and she is the cutest little baby doll!

Mosey toward the stage area then towards the baseball fields then towards the highway to an unused parking lot. Blimps. Burpees 10 OYO, LBC’s 20 single count, Imperial Walkers 30 single count, Merkins 40 single count, Plank Jacks 50 single count,  Squats 60 single count. I took this chance to rest and talked about one of my favorite stories; the prodigal son. The part where he “came to himself” and said I will go back home to my father. Every man should have that “came to himself” moment where we realize that His plan  is better than ours.

Mosey back down to the stage. I posted a gif of Def Leppard’s one arm drummer to announce the concert at Folsom.  It was requested that it would be cool if I brought a set of drums and I did play drums many years ago but sadly I do not have my chrome Pearl drum set with Zildjian cymbals from years gone by. Instead I had Slaw bring full size cinder Blocks from Midoriyama and we set them up on the Stage area down from the playground near the pond. We did Lindsey’s aka 40’s.

We paused the concert to mosey to the tennis courts, pledged to the flag on our way and lined up for a short version of Dirty Mac Deuce. Sets of 12 IC exercises for Arms, Legs then Core. Set 1 Werkins,  Jump Squats and Flutters, lap around the tennis courts. Set 2  Burpees, Monkey Humpers and Freddy Mercuries, lap.  No time for anymore since we had to finish the concert so mosey back to stage.

Finish Lindsey’s,

15 curls, 25 chest presses

10 curls, 30 chest presses.

Yoke Walk with blocks back to Slaw’s truck. Circle up for  a talk  about why we, as men, need to be strong, physically, emotionally and spiritually for many reasons we may not see today. I gave a few recent examples from my family.

Announcements were made. Speed for Need, ChristmasTown 5K.

Name the FNG’s. Luke Stewart was invited by Sparky and at some point during the workout mentioned he was a lover not a fighter so Tool Time dubbed him Romeo. Tool Time’s  future son-in-law is named Keegan Sylvester so naturally Sly is his F3 name. There was discussion of a clown car to that wedding next week.

Prayer requests and COT as we lifted up Sly as he gets married next week and serves in the Army and we let him know that we are there for him, also for each guy to be the man we are called to be.

I appreciate the opportunity to Q at Folsom. The guys pushed hard and ran 2.2 miles and somewhere over 600 reps. Huckleberry complained about every inch of that 2.2 miles but, guess what. He gets it done! Roadie said he had been out for a while but he really pushed and it was great to see him out today. Slaw and Tool Time tried to push the pace but youngster Sly was mostly leading the way as we would expect for one of the Army’s finest. Romeo and Blart knew each other from Stanley and there seemed to be some interesting stories from the past. I could tell Sparky appreciated the coupon work as he usually has a trailer full when he Qs. There was lots of mumble chatter today as usual but everyone got better and I hope we got a little stronger.  Coffeteria at Time Out was strong!
