YHC had my first Q at the Pub.
Pledge
I was feeling creative and original, so I called a different destination – Martha’s River. Roscoe was really confused by this because his knees were so cold and exposed from wearing shorts, so I told him it was was really clever wordplay for Martha Rivers. Off we went and return we did! Good work men!

We celebrated the holiday giving for the Dallas Christian Ministries and Operation Sweettooth with personal YHC examples of those who benefited from those gifts. We are all here purpose and calling. No purpose is greater than and another. If you called to give money or time, do it. If you are called to lead a sunday school class or bible study, embrace it. If you called into ministry, missionary, or service, go.
Joshua 1:9 – Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.

There seems to be an on-going rivalry between the fleet-footed men of The Pub and the ground-pounders of FIAblow…I mean Diablo Sammich. General taunting from Whoopee and his gang of hoodlum elves seems to be a weekly thing! However, I was pleased to see the open invitation to join the ‘sumbritches’ from FIAblow…I mean Diablo….for breakfast at Waffle House.
The men from FIAblow…oops, darn it….Diablo pulled the velcro tight on their bright white New Balance orthopedics and mall-walked to Waffle House. 5 of the 7 HIMs from the Pub ran mostly uphill in freezing temps at a brisk pace to meet up with those ‘sumbritches’ for some fellowship, food, and drink.
It should be noted that head elf Whoopee’s jukebox selectiins started off as, shall we say, questionable. Fortunately, he listened to Boudin (the smart one from FIAblow…oops, gosh, I mean Diablo) and quit playing songs off his daughter’s Ipod.
I am still curious why they made the runners sit in the corner booth, segregated from the mutha ruckers. I suppose all of our manliness and handsome good looks were just too intimidating. We’ll try not to be so awesome next time Whoopee. Thanks for the invite though!

It was an absolutely gorgeous morning for a Christmas Day bootcamp. Unfortunately for the pax that posted it was obvious that they made the naughty list because Santa arrived early with a sleigh full of coal.
Warm up:
20 SSH
20 Moroccan Night Clubs
10 Merkins
Then it was time to unpack Santa’s Sleigh – Each pax was given one garden block
Warm-up continued with curls, overhead presses, and squats with coupons
Thang:
Mosey to concession stand with block – That was terrible – running with a block is not doctor approved.
Dora
50 Blockees
100 Triceps extensions
200 Curls
300 Overhead presses
Next was time to run some more with blocks partner up. One partner runs clockwise the other counterclockwise around concession stand with block when you meet up with partner do 1 Booyah! merkin – continue around to front and do 2 and continue until you get to five then count down back to one. A real crowd pleaser!
Time to mosey back but luckily for pax Santa called an Omaha and we meandered back for some Mary which included American hammers and pelvic thrusters both with blocks

Just like Drake, I’m going Back to Back. I had my first Q at Sandlot/Neverland/Dark Balls/Ya Mamas House yesterday. The cold rain kept us in the shelter so today, I figured I’d do a complete 180 and we were gonna move!
I arrived early to scope out the lay of the land and make last minute weinke adjustments. Seuss had hung the shovel flag with care, before off heading to Folsom and the land of facial hair. HIMs rolled in and it is 5:30 so let’s do some work! I didnrecycle.uesterdays Christmas Playlist. Here Is The Link!
Warmup: SSH 10 IC, Toy Soldiers 10 IC, Don Quixotes 7 IC. The 7 means nothing, I was just getting impatient. Let’s mosey to the school entrance.
The Thizzy-thang:
In full disclosure, the first 30 minutes of this Q were stolen from a Sister Act Q so you know it was hard!

We have a few more minutes so circle up for Mary. It’s Christmas Eve and I Qd a 12 Days of Christmas theme yesterday so I went back to it here. We went around the circle calling core exercises. The only limit was we needed to do 12. We went just a bit over but 8 guys called exercises including American Hammers,Mountain Climbers, Windshield Wipers, Freddie Mercuries, 6 Shooters, some kinda roll-up crunch voodoo Top Hat cooked up, and others.
Time!
Announcements: convergence 12/28 at Gashouse, RSVP for the Christmas party 1/4 (and vote for superlatives), Midoriyama is closed today, Prison Break and Snoballs are open). Pray for Dry Rub and his M, Medicine Woman, Huck, Montross’s neighbor (lost his Dad), families at Christmas. YHC took us out in prayer.
I mentioned it during CoT but will point it out here too: keep those who are struggling at Christmas in your prayers. So many people in our communities struggle with strained family relationships, split homes, financial struggles, and memories of those who have passed. Be kind to them and pray for them. That being said, if anyone dosen’t have plans around Christmas, you are welcome to join me and my family tonight for dinner in Bessemer City. Just text me or DM me on Slack! I promise you won’t be the only non-family member there and you are welcome. There are always friends that don’t have other plans there. Merry Christmas!!!!

As I checked out the forecast a few days ago, I started regretting having signed up to Q. I am ok with cold. I am ok with rain. I hate cold rain. Oh well, rock pushing ain’t easy. My plan: stay as dry as possible! I put my weinke together, laid out the clothes, and took to Slack to see Short Sale has the Q at Mt Hollywood. I proceed to rib him and remind him of the time he overslept and fartsacked his Folsom Q.
Yes, this is foreshadowing.
4:30, 4:45, and 5:00 a.m. pass and YHC is still sound asleep. I am not sure what happened but I awoke at 5:07 and I live 20 minutes away from Martha Rivers. This is no bueno! I know Pappy will be there so I ask him to cover some warmups for me. I am out the door about 5:13. I arrive about 5:32. Not too bad! Fortunately, I planned ahead.
We have an FNG so I give a quick disclaimer and I give Slaw my speaker and phone to carry the tunes. Mariah’s All I want For Christmas is blasting as we jailbreak to the nearest picnic shelter. I have my weinke written on a piece of cardboard but it is dark and there are no lights. All good though, I prepared and packed my shop light.
Christmas songs play as we repeat a 12 exercise circuit. Sing it with me to the tune of 12 Days of Christmas…
12 American Hammers
11 Monkey Humpers
10 Mountain Climbers
9 Imperial Walkers
8 Big Boy Situps
7 Superman-Ironmans
6 Jumping Squats
5 REGULAR MERKINS
4 Backwards Lunges
3 Plank Jacks
2 LBCs
And a Merkin and a Burpee
We ended up doing all exercises in cadence except Big Boys and Jump Squats. We also changed to 10 LBCs IC and increased the Merkin and Burpee count at the end of each circuit. We completed 6 circuits. Each guy counted different exercises, no rest until the end. Then, for Slaw, we finished with 10 Merkins and 10 Burpees!
Welcome Chad Carper to F3! He is the principal at WC Friday and is now known as Belding. He was invited to Folsom!
