Mosey to Courthouse entrance where blocks had been dropped off for 30/10/5.
30 Curls with blocks run across the steps to other entrance for 10 HR Merkins for 5 times. The last time rifle carry block there and back. Slawbag and Broke leading the way.

Mosey over for ABs in the gazebo.

LBC’s, Hammers, WWI, Plank.

Mosey several blocks towards future new Aquatic Center site stopping several times for 20 merkins, 20 squats, 20 LBC’s.

When we arrive at site of the future Aquatic Center,
20 Michael Phelps (counted by renowned swimmer Slaw but don’t ask about biking)
20 Water Pickers (same as Cotton pickers but sticking with the aquatic theme)
20 Flutter Kicks

Time was running out so mosey back to the start and get in one more round of 20 merkins, 20 squats and 20 LBC’s.

Back at the flag, 5 burpees OYO for Slaw and we pledged and time.

As I have been known to do, I threw out some funny quotes about getting older throughout the workout. I have been down in my back for a while and unable to do my normal routines and that will make you feel old. I am hoping to get back on track soon and appreciate the guys showing up for the old man Q.
1. “You can live to be a hundred if you give up all things that make you want to live to be a hundred.” – Woody Allen
2. “People ask me what I’d most appreciate getting for my eighty-seventh birthday. I tell them, a paternity suit.” – George Burns
3. “At age 20, we worry about what others think of us. At age 40, we don’t care what they think of us. At age 60, we discover they haven’t been thinking of us at all.” Ann Landers
4. “You are only young once, but you can stay immature indefinitely.” – Ogden Nash
5. “I suppose real old age begins when one looks backward rather than forward.” – Mary Sarton
6. “The older I get, the better I used to be.” – Lee Trevino
7. “Most of the grumpy old people I know used to be grumpy young people. Don’t blame age.” – Dr. Ernie Perkins
8. “Lord thank you for opportunity we have to come out here and act like kids.” – Steve “Slawbag” Lawing

Welcome to the FNG Dwayne Johnson who is a golfer so the name Putt Putt was given. He was aiming to be The Rock but no such luck. He works night shift and hopes to make some Midoriyama Q’s. We had a nice talk at breakfast with most all of the guys.
