It was beautiful morning for a ruck at the Bores Nest.
We rucked 3 miles and did 60 Merkins, 75 calf raisers, and 100 squats along the way.
Fun was had by all.
After completing we met up with the Crossroads for the COT and prayers.
Thanks for the opportunity. Big Pappy out.
7 PAX came to Folsom this morning to get in some work. The morning was beautiful, with the faint sound of some sort of alarm going off in the background.
Warm up:
Some stretching exercises and stories of the Murph
The Thang:
We moseyed to the second stop light, 10 merkins and 20 squats. —That alarm is getting louder
Mosey to the gazebo triangle. Run the loop 3 time doing the following — The alarm is at full blast now.
Mosey to flag for the pledge, then 22 merkins for the troops. — Will this alarm please stop going off….
Mosey back to the ball field intersection for 2 loops. — For all that is good…will this alarm stop….
We mosey back to start, finish with some Mary and silence and can finally be heard through out Folsom.
COT
Prayers:
Take note the scripture Numbers 10:9 – “When you go to war in your land against the adversary who attacks you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, that you may be remembered before the LORD your God, and be saved from your enemies.”
It is always an honor to serve with such great men.

The Folsom HIM’s made their presence felt this beautiful morning. It was looking like we may be low on numbers but Allen Tate, Montross, and Sparky came in hot giving us the exact number we needed.
Warm up:
The Thang:
We mosey’d to the lower lot were we had 3 stations set up. We worked all 3 stations for 2 sets at 7 minutes in length.
We mosey’d back to the tennis court lot and there was Pizza Man working like the true HIM his is.
COT:
We spoke of raising our children in the way of the Bible. Proverbs 22:6 “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” Pizza Man joined us and his words were truly felt.

4 HIM’s made their presence felt this beautiful morning. Today at Folsom, we celebrated “Shot Bin Laden in the Face Day” (5/2/2011) and the end of the “Battle of Berlin” (5/2/1945) which ended WW2 for Nazi Germany.
Warm up:
The Thang:
We moseyed for to the flag stopping at each light pole and doing the following in rotation
At the flag, we pledged and then did 10 burpees.
We mosey’d back to the bottom lot stopping at each light pole again doing the rotation above.
At the bottom lot, we lunged walk and mosey’d forming a Star of David, planking at each point to honor the who died in WW2 and the Holocaust.
We mosey’d back to the tennis court lot and time was up.
COT:
We finished up a speaking of how evil exists and how it can not be overcome by government policies or remove of objects. We have to be willing to fight and support the fight for what is good and right. In my case, the divine teachings of the Bible.

Due to the holiday travels, only 2 HIM’s came out to Folsom this morning. It was a beautiful morning to get some work in, but the lack of HIM’S caused the YHC to call his first Omaha and all went well.
Warm Up:
We did some toy soldiers, cotton pickers, and moroccan nightclubs. I have seen moroccan nightclubs call in our brothern in the past, but not today.
The Thang:
We moseyed to the flag pole stopping at each light post calling Mary exercises. YHC does not remember the quantity or type but the usual’s were all represented. There were burpies, lbcs, squats, mountain climbers, and many others.
Once at the flag pole, we pledged and moseyed back calling Mary again at each light post. The big boys and merkins appeared to be the most popular.
Once back, Volt had to leave for work so we did the COT. This was awesome as Volt usually does not get to partake in the COT during the weekdays due to work responsibilities. Volt is embodies consistency, has great integrity, and mythical strength. It was great to have the opportunity to get to know him better. He is an awesome HIM.
There was still some left so the YHC moseyed around the parking lot several times doing dips and steps up at each shelter and at the dock. Finally wrapping up by watching the beautiful sunrise over Folsom and thanking the good Lord for allowing me to see another one.
Announcements:
Lewis Farms Event on Saturday
Prayer Request:
Volt and Volt’s brother, Big Pappy’s family, and the unspoken and needed prayers.
8 HIM’s showed up at Folsom this beautiful morning to get in some work. It is an honor to have the opportunity to Q during holy week and today is Maundy Thursday. For recognition of this day, we went with a workout to lift up the original 12 apostles.
Warm up:
The Thang:
We moseyed for Matthew to the first stop. The first stop was for Simon Peter, Andrew and James. Simon Peter and Andrew where the first apostles. “Drop your nets and become fisherman of men”. James was the first to be martyred. “Would you be willing”
2 sets
We moseyed for Matthew to the second stop. The second stop is for John, Thomas, and Philip.
2 Sets
We moseyed for Matthew to the third stop. The third stop was for Thaddeus, Bartholomew, James the Less, and Simon the Zealot.
We moseyed for Matthew to the flag and did the pledge.
We then did it all over again back to the start.
COT:
We finished up talking about Jesus, the greatest and perfect servant leader. He knew the pain, agony, and betrayal he was about to partake in and yet washed the feet of those who followed him. He broke bread with them and gave them the commandments for the future. The is no greater example of servant leadership than the Lord’s Supper.

10 PAX showed up this morning to get some work in at Folsom. For my first Q, I struggled with coming up with something that would push all of us. I noticed sometimes at Folsom and as I visited other AO’s that Q’s would use music in the exercises. It dawned on me that it would be better to push to a time over a quantity for my first Q. Hence “Mandelbrot Set – The Story of Big Pappy” was born.
Warm up – Some toy soldiers, daisy pickers, and Moroccan Nightclubs
The Thang:
Act I – Pappy’s Childhood Years – Run to 4th tennis court and do 20 x XCrunches then run back and do 20 x LBC’s . Repeat until Act I is over.
Act II – Pappy’s Young Adult Years – Run to 4th tennis court and do 10 merkins then run back and do 10 shoulder touches. Repeat until Act II is over.
Act III – Pappy’s Adult Years – Run to 3rd tennis court and do 3 burbees then run back and do 30 monkey humpers. Repeat until Act III is over.
Credits – Run to 4th tennis court and do 20 squats then run back and do 20 hillbillies. Repeat until the credits is over.
I overheard a PAX saying he was not sure if he was going to throw up from the music or the workout. Mission Accomplished.
Thanks to all that came out. It was a pleasure to lead a group of fine men that have lead me over the past several months to better health and a better lifestyle.
