Day: August 27, 2021

I started the week off with a Q at The Sandlot and ended it with a Q Downtown. A few PAX had the pleasure to attend both. This was new for me as I was “Weinke-less.” No notes, nothing on my phone, just a loose idea of what I might do. Now, not to worry, I do adhere to the Q-Source doctrine of “Preparedness” and on my drive home last night from a Fantasy Football draft, I did contemplate some ideas to entertain the PAX. The circle gathered and a brief disclaimer was shared and away we went.

Warm-up:

• Imperial Walker IC x 10
• Toy Soldier IC x 10
• Side to Side Lunge IC x 10
• MNC’s IC x 10
• 5 burpees OYO for the train

Head south on South Street stopping at the stone benches on the right side. All PAX face south with a foot on the bench – 10 leg raises right, flip for 10 on the left, 10 dips; repeat. The benches had some height so the quads got activated. We crossed the street and hung a left on Franklin Blvd, moseying to the front of the Wells Fargo building and their 3 steps. We’ve not done this in a while – it is a Spiderman special – Deep Sea Divers. Get in plank, feet on first step; 5 merkins, increase a step to 10 and finally the third step for 15. Hold plank for 30 seconds…descend but doing shoulder taps for 15, 10, and 5.  Let’s mosey into the First Methodist/bank parking lot and use the big brick wall of the Wesley Center. We’ll go with a Dora:

• P1 runs to the bank building and returns; P2 exercises:
• 100 Dirty Hook-ups
• 200 Donkey Kicks
• Wall Sits – I know – you’re saying “huh?” Well we weren’t doing 300 hip slappers  – that’s for sure. So wall sits were suggested. The runners ran two laps while their partner sat. Probably should have done 3 turns but oh well.

The sweat was brewing at this point. I had about 20 minutes to kill so we migrated to MLK Blvd and Franklin Blvd intersection (Wells Fargo/Conference Center intersection). We’ll do 11’s but use the block between Franklin and Second that has the nice hill to climb. Begin with 10 merkins and 1 squat working down/up. The block is a little long for this. Sister Act led the way lapping the field. All the others gutted it out. Between the elevation and humidity, this was a burner. We couldn’t finish so halted with 5 minutes to go in order to return on time.

Announcements: Snowbird, JJ5k, Labor Day Special AO in McAdenville. Prayer requests: JJK2/Bob the Builder daughter/sister, Sister Act 2.0, soldiers/Americans and civilians in Afghanistan, our country. I took us out.

No moleskin today – hope the PAX have a good weekend. Make sure to help out our new Site Q Captain Stubing and fill some Q slots for him.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead.

This statement came from Timeframe who heard it from a meteorologist the night before.

that was about the extent of mumble chatter this morning ….no nonsense here 

very strong group of HIMS working on becoming stronger tougher and certainly sweaty

announcement that anyone seeking Q should ask me directly at WO or reach out 

prayers for EZ Riders family and nation and esp All In Afghanistan as well as our leaders

Be sure to post if you wanna know WO details 

On my drive in this morning came across bicyclist on Kendrick at 5:20, what are you thinking, man?!? Then on the return trip home after WO there are two women walking along same path …. I have often pondered whether it would be advantageous for sidewalks to be placed here or even a bicycle lane, or would the cost be too extreme to warrant the necessity. Certainly Coconut Horse and The Pub would benefit. 
I wonder Also if Covid continues to strangle the region as to the diminished numbers , or are we still dealing with Sandy V’s as many still taking advantage of shark infested waters seeking to feed unruly children to them. Also of note, even though some have used the prayer channel on Slack and even mumble chatter to post of injuries or being on the IR there are still some not  on either who deserve our prayers such as Gastone and I saw mention somewhere of Rudolph. The other day while delivering to Bandits neighbor, Bandit came over and told me of possible Achilles troubles 😳! Glad to see that Turtleman is now moving into the next phase … recovery! Look forward to his return. 
There’s also the good news like my family meeting Big Pappys newest addition ( while we were vacationing in Savannah no less!) and what of new additions? Remember Island ? He went from 1 child to now 4!! We met the happy family at church this past Sunday! Much congratulations as their son beginning  high school they now get to “ restart” with baby, toddler and a 4 ( or 5) year old!! Soon There will be another Stinky Bird in the nest as well …. A girl this time! 
As I arrived this morning I pondered whether or not the flag would resurface …. And lo and behold ….. Captain Stubing pulled it from where it nestled safely in the back of his truck …. A light came down from heaven at some point and choirs of angels…… nah! 
i actually  expected a scathing letter from Whoopees HOA about damages assessed, but thankfully I hear that he will only lose cabana privileges at YMCA Robinson’s Lake for next year. Today was also great to have had one on one time with Captain Stubing who informed me of his First Mate ( brother whom he introduced the other week to F3 ) and also of his M taking on duties at a smaller church in their band !! Great stuff!
