9 Ladies Dancing

YHC rolled in trying to come up with a way to spice up today. Dirt and EZ Rider were out getting EC, Gastone was in his truck. Clavin arrived and at the 5 min mark, a line of vehicles arrived bringing the total to 9.

Coincidentally, there are 9 days until Christmas…

0530 arrives with no FNGs, so an abbreviated disclaimer is given. Before beginning warmup, YHC posed the question “What was given on the 9th day of Christmas?” and then commenced warmup:
SSH x 10 IC
Moroccan Night Club x 10 IC
Merkins x 10 IC
Squat x 15 OYO

YHC then wanted the answer to the question posed. The general consensus was “Lords a Leaping”, but as you can tell from the title, that was wrong, so a 5 Burpee penalty was imposed.

Before continuing, YHC inquired about the gift on the 8th day and proceeded to mosey down Riverwood Pkwy toward the doctor’s office. Along the way YHC was treated to the PAX rendition of the 12 days of Christmas as they try to figure out the answer. About half way, they come to the correct answer of Maids a Milking.

Although Turtleman hasn’t posted since late Oct, we will still do one of his favorites at the doctor’s office.
Long jump up the entrance, run back down and do 15 reverse crunches. It was soooo much fun we did it again.

YHC “realized” he had forgotten the Pledge, so time to mosey back to South State Bank. There was some chatter about we would end up there anyway, but YHC didn’t want to forget it.

Having knocked the Pledge, time to move back down Riverwood.
Arriving at a light pole, switched to a side-step/karaoke. At the next, face the other direction and continue. At the next change to a skip. We stopped at the next pole and every third one there after to do monkey humpers. 27, then 18, and finally 9 before continuing to the bottom of “Gastone’s Hill”.

For the first trip…
Mosey to the top, 15 heels to heaven, and back down.

For the second trip…
What was called didn’t work out as YHC thought it would. Instead of trying explain here, there was nurring involved and squats and all ended up at the top of the hill. 25 LBCs and back down we go.

For the third trip.
Mosey to the first mailbox, do 1 squat. Mosey to second, do 2 squats. Continue pattern and stop at the cross street.

Back down the hill and then up to the Dollar General. In the parking lot, 5s were called with Mike Tyson on one end, JJ offered American Hammers on the other and Clavin offered Lunges as the means of conveyance. The lunge was Omaha’d after 1 round due to time.

Down the hill and over to the stairs between the parking lots for a little calf work.
25 right leg
25 left leg
25 toes pointed out
25 toes pointed in

From there we went behind the Planet Fitness to use their ramp for 2 rounds of Bearcrawl.

Now on the home stretch, we headed to the wall in front of South State Bank for 2 sets of 18 Dips and 9 Derkins before returning to our start point.

And that was time.

Announcements:
Bedpan talked about the Dallas Christian Ministries. If you didn’t have money, you can go online (link on slack) and either give there or find a child in need, and provide what they ask for.
Defib covered the 40/50 challenge concluding CSAUP this Saturday. (21-Dec)
Convergence the following Saturday at Gashouse 0700.(28-Dec)

Prayer Requests:
Dry Rub’s M in hospital
Bedpan family – M had dental work, 2.0 is sick and K9 had to go to vet.

YHC took us out.

Moleskin:
There are two thing that I feel a need to put out there.

This is a tough time of year. Many of our PAX/family have had losses this year. The stress of family, work, finances, etc all stack in there too. Remember your brothers are there for you. If you are struggling or just want to vent, reach out. More importantly, God is there for you. Pray.

In my Sunday school class, we just started a study on James. James is a blunt, in your face book of the Bible.
James 1:2-4
Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

Remember, this adventure called life is not going to be easy. But by relying on God’s strength, and not your own, you will grow closer to him, be more like Jesus and be able to persevere.

Watts Up powering down.
