Complete Respect

Arrive early to set up ….carefully open outdoor outlet protector on SnoBalls only to find power off due to off season. Thankfully I had no backup plan for the music, having to rely on obsolete CD technology! 

warmup consists of slow arm circles front and back, Imp Walkers IC, merkins IC, plank jacks IC and Mtn climbers IC all ( almost ) to the count of 12 ( messed up once on AC.

collect ice cubes ( aka coupons aka frozen chunks of cement !!)

curls, overhead press, squat and swing x 12

merkins, hand release merkins, flutters and lbcs x 12

lap building 

decrease by one until complete 

called in Dirt for and exercise ( was seeking it and one more from another pax to complete an 11 routine with a dirty burpee for 12 total ….. then this happened ….

Dirt called for 8 8 counts ( man makers) …. So let’s make it up as we go….

I delivered 4 blockees to complete the 12

EZ gave us flutters and Watts Up had us do ( on back ) OP with extension behind head!!!! Yikes!!

lap building round 3 was rifle carry, 12 x 3 for 36s instead of colt 45, lbcs and something else

why the number 12? Redoing the 12 days of Christmas in honor of a great personal family friend who right now is under hospice care rapidly approaching time. 
 His name is Robert ( Bob ) Propst …. He lost his wife Marilyn a few years back. …. He’s had quite a few change ups in his life . Early in life he had a great love of song many felt he was Kenny Rogers with his looks and singing style . Gospel music would become his calling for a time until MS stopped him. 
A chance encounter with someone would illuminate a

new ministry for him as he would transform and become Storeybook Santa! Or  ( others know as) the Dillards Gastonia Santa.

the cd i was to have played was his Christmas Cd … many years ago they gave me the collected works some 6 or 7 discs!

and in case any wondered , yes, this is the same person I organized for Christmas carols after a convergence : of those who attended I recall Oompa Loompa and M, Time Frame and Google, Stroganoff, Rudolph and Myself and M as well as Cap’n Crunch 

prayers for Santa, EZ Rider family, Tube and family , achey Braky son with rsv and those battling addiction, loss or holiday sadness
