We had a few.

10 HIM came out to Run or Ruck this morning. Some of the Ruckers did a little of both.  It was a bit chilly at 27 and Wattsup kept pointing out that there might have been a light breeze.

announcements:

• 2nd F Lunch on Jan. 25th at Hillbillies
• Feb 11 – mini CSAUP /Convergence at Folsom
• All other Saturday AO’s should be closed

prayer requests:

• Roundup and his wife expecting
• BOS – expecting job offer
• Slim shady and Gilligan in Guatemala for service trip
• Orangeman’s family

The weather was cold and dry.  When we got going it became very comfortable.

The trivia idea I must credit to Anchorman.  As the new year has come around and attendance is up there is an opportunity in that.  I thought trivia was a great idea and could be used as a teaching tool for the newer guys and a refresher for the more seasoned vets without being preachy.

Pizzaman led up through a tribute warmup and a moment of silence honoring F3 Cardinal out of Knoxville who recently had a heart attack after his VQ and did not survive.  Prayers are definitely with the family of Cardinal and the entire Knoxville F3 family.   Classy move Pizzaman.

After the split. the guys of Painlab circled to have a nice workout featuring SSH’s O’ plenty.  There was also squats, LBC’s, pull overs, step ups, dips, stretching, merkins, burpees, heels to heaven,  and seal jax.

The F3 questions were:

What is the F3 mission statement?

Name the 5 pillars of F3?

What is EH, what does it mean, and how is it applied?

What is a Sad Clown?

What is the name of the F3 handbook and who wrote it?

What is the purpose of the COT?

What is a shield lock?

In my opinion this morning went very well.  The guys were great as always.

A true honor,

AYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Timeframe

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

You forget how important it is to be a part of the PAX and YHC is grateful to be back at it with this group of HIMs.  No better time to jump back into Q’ing as well than on my birthday and to include a trivia game “1966 or Not” for the year I was born.   The Q presents an event that happened in the mid-60s and the PAX must decide if it happen in “66 or Not”.  Incorrect answers result in 5 burpees.  The PAX did well and  were happy to have Double Respect Tesla on their side.

Disclaimer, pledge, and a reminder to honor F3 Cardinal today and pray for his family.  Warm-up, some Route 66s…….well, obviously………some work circled up, and finished with some bear crawl Dora.

Great work by all and well done Orangeman getting your full money’s worth with 5 burpees in the COT.  Prayers for Cardinal’s family and his PAX in Knoxville.  Finally, a reminder that God puts opportunities in front of us to be kind to someone else.  I pray that each of us seeks out that opportunity and acts upon it today, no matter how big or small.  Thanks for the honor of leading today, men!
