Double Nickels for All

YHC celebrated #55 on Sunday, so Mt. Hollywood served as the infamous birthday Q.

Warmup: 55 SSH oyo, 55 merkins oyo, Bolt 55s (variation of the 45s), 5 burpees

The thang: Mosey to the flag at Veteran’s Park for the Pledge and 22 merkins for the Vets, on YHC’s count. Being this is the bottom of the hill, a little Burpback Mountain was called. PAX paired up with P1 nurring up the hill and running back down while P2 performed burpees. Seeing as how YHC has to share a birthday every year with his twin, Siri, 110 burpees were called.

Mosey to the top of the big hill, Crest, for the start of the BIRTHDAY celebration. Each letter represents an exercise, and each exercise has 55 reps. Here’s how it went down:

B=Bonnie Blairs (jump lunges), count each leg

I=Imperial walkers, count each side

R=Reverse crunch

T=Twinkle toes (an Al Gore with calf raises)

Mosey back to the start to finish the celebrating

H=Hand release merkins

D=Dying cockroaches times 2 for Siri

A=American hammers, count one side only (you see, YHC knows what Y is, and is really trying to call time before, but that is not going to be the case)

Y=Yurpees (burpee with clap merkin at the bottom and two tuck jumps at the top) until time was called.

Announcements: New AO starting Wednesday, January 8th @5:30am, New Hope Elementary, Sargento is the Site Q; New Year’s Day at Prison Break and a Murph following; Please sign up for the party

Prayer Requests: Tiger’s list to be posted later, Shell Shock’s Mom, Tiger’s Dad, Sparky’s family

YHC took us out.

It was an honor to lead -Orangeman

What is handy on a trail?

YHC roamed around this AO to gather inspiration as no weinke was prepared. Along the way saw Gastone, Dirt and TimeFrame out getting a little EC.

0530 hits and there is a late Christmas gift of a FNG. A Stinky Bird cousin. He hails from DC, so we will give him a good start and send him to Monk.

With the FNG present, a more complete introduction/disclaimer is given.

Mosey to top of hill for 25 SSH and 20 Squats.

YHC posed a trivia question at this point…
“How many times has Ohio State beat Clemson in a bowl Game?”
Whatever the PAX answered, that was how many burpees were going to be called. The initial answer given was two, but they settled on the right answer of 0. Oh well, maybe next time.

From there we moseyed around the parking lot some to end up in front of the Food Lion.
Here, 5 Pax would say when they started F3 and who EH’d them. After the 5, mosey to end of the lot and back. This was repeated until all had spoken.

Mosey to the wall in front of the bank.

Welcome to William Ryan, now known as Spork! Hope you join another DC transplant from GasHouse, Monk.
Glad to see Belding come back and always good to have JK2 make an appearance.

As we go into 2020, remember this from Romans 8:18:
For I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed to us.

Watts Up powering down.
