Rain dance didn’t work, no puddles in sight despite it being “national splash in a puddle day” or something like that. We started with a quick disclaimer, pledge, and warmup. We had a solid group this am. Numbers are nice, but I’ll take a good quality group of guys no matter what the numbers are any day of the week, even on “national splash in a puddle day.”

I ‘splained what that initial plan would be: mosey to Sandy’s Hill. On the way, 2 merkins and 2 squats at each light. This was part of the warmup actually and was just about right. We got to the bottom of the hill and then moseyed up to the top for 25 LBCs. Mosey down for 25 merkins and 25 LBCs. I think this is where I pulled out the photos on my phone for something to share-I found a list of “Things To Teach Your Son” which is ironic because I don’t have any sons….still good info to share and should be common knowledge for most HIMs. I’ll share a few below so keep on reading. We moseyed up to the breezeway at the school for some suicides. At each light on the breezeway, stop for 10 Mountain Climbers then back to start. When you pass the previous light(s) stop for 5 squats then proceed to subsequent light for 10 MCs. Continue until we got thru them all. Roscoe went off road to make room and fortunately didn’t step in any gopher holes. Time was getting short so we moseyed back and hit some merkins at most of the lights on the way home. We timed it just right to finish with a route 66 on the lights growing the last 10 or 11 lights with 1 more Merkin each light. We finished with a COT then took off.

Here are a few of my favorites:

The man at the BBQ grill is the closest thing to a king.

Don’t let a wishbone grow where a backbone should be.

If you need music on the beach, you are missing the point.

You marry the girl, you marry her family.

Never be afraid to ask out the best looking girl in the room.

After writing an angry email, read it carefully. Then delete it. (did this a few times today actually)

Manners maketh the man.

In all things lead by example not explanation.  (You’ve probably heard “I’d rather see a sermon than hear 1 any day” before.)

thanks guys-Whoopee
