Day: September 21, 2019

We Rucked, We had fellowship.  If you haven’t got to know Big Pappy, you need to….. True HIM

YHC felt like working the brain and the muscles on this Q.  Sparky let me borrow the blocks again and I downloaded a trivia app.

Warm up:  walk to the flag and pledge

the thang:

I placed the blocks in the parking lot across from the flag where we would do a set of block exercises and after each set, we answer a trivia question.  The catch: if you get the question wrong, each pax has to do 5 burpees, if you get it right, you can pick any exercise up to 10 reps.

block exercises, 10 reps each, repeat until time.

on your 6: chest press

I think we went 4 rounds

5 burpees for each trivia question wrong….. we missed at least 5 (should have paid attention in school)

pappy and I were the only ones this time out but was a good time even with no crowd!

Three Pax were present for Stogie’s VQ. I would take it that no one loves me… but fact is they were all serving elsewhere (whether it be the JJ 5K with Speed for Need, or Stop Soldier Suicide, or Rucking, or serving as Q at a different AO). I guess we’ll cut them some slack. Much better than the fartsackers – who know who they are.

The Thang:

Warm Up:
– 20 Side Straddle Hops – in cadence
– 20 Pavement pickers – in cadence
– 20 Mountain Man Poopers (Thanks for the AO I was named, F3 Waynesville) – in cadence

Mosey to Light Post…

Pax did Lt. Dans (Dan Taylors) – 1 low squat followed by 4 walking lunges for about 30 yards, and moseyed the rest of the way down the hill to the lower parking lot.

We did two laps around the lower parking lot – karaoke’ng to one corner, nur to the other corner, karaoke’ng to the other corner and then running back to start.

We then moseyed to the Tennis Courts.

We did some Adam Wests (aka Bat Arms) – 20 x Forward Arm Circles, hold, 20 x Backwards Arm Circles, hold, 20 x seal claps, hold, 20 x overhead claps.

We then did high-knee-skip suicides.

We did one more set from the Dirty  MacDeuce – Abs, Arms/Chest, and a leg workout.

We then did some Mary, called by the present Pax (mix of exercises from: Mike Tysons, Jacked Up, to Peter Parkers and Parker Peters).

We finished with some Yoga (some made up, some legit):
– Cow/Cat
– Cobra
– Stretches
– Hangs

• Overhead clap

Moleskin:

With so few in attendance, we blew through my weinke in no time. Being my first time Q’ing I had little idea how long things would take. My goal was to do exercises I could do, but not have the exercises be extremely JV.  I was out to do a few new things (or things we don’t often do at Folsom), and try putting my spin on them. When we blew through with around 25 minutes left, I found I was able to improvise enough to get by until I needed to call on the other Pax there, who were waiting to be called on (Site Q chomping at the bit). Overall, I think I did fine (and think the other Pax weren’t saying so for my feeling’s sake). I learned a lot. I’ve been thinking about Qing for a few months. I think I accomplished what I wanted. Thanks Montross and Gumby for the assistance and support!

For those who didn’t show, I will just have to break out this weinke for them, but make it worse. Or, dip into the other two (much worse) weinkes I prepared while trying to figure out the best things to do for my VQ.

Prayer: We prayed for Rockabilly’s Mom, thank God for Ratchet’s son’s good report, all the kids back in school, and prayed for my disabled Dad.
