It is every PAX’s worst nightmare, alarm clock failure of some type and you are late waking up. My alarm woke me up at 05:20 (though YHC is sure it was set for far earlier), usually I would take this as my body telling me something and use it as an opportunity to let my body rest, but not when I have the Q. So I dashed out of bed and to the car and arrived at the AO at 05:32, pleased to see that Tuco had stepped up to start the warmups. Fortunately the PAX was very nice and understanding and no one gave me grief about it.

TClaps to Tuco and Van Gogh for attending both parts of my two-part Q.

 

Sorry to the PAX who waited in agony and suspense as 05:30 struck. If you will write your name, DOB, SSN, address, and mother’s maiden name on the back of a twenty dollar bill and give it to me a refund will be issued in 6-8 weeks.

 

Welcome Matthew Gray who is a 2nd Lt in the Army, 4th year med student who went to undergrad with Hedwig. Funny story is that in undergrad he was working on a remote controlled plane and the propeller chopped his thumb almost off – Hedwig took him to hospital where it was saved and you can barely tell now – though his dreams of being a surgeon were dashed. New name is Drone.

    Road Apple will only be at the TRU in spirit. Toe Tag, Earwax, and Moonlight however, will be there physically. Prayers for those guys – will be a SERIOUSLY TOUGH run!

    Road Apple and Drano accepting prayers for the PM2HR Ultra, we are running on October 14th.

    Thanks for the workout, Palin! It was great except for the 4×4 business! Drone wants to come back for more.

    Welcome, Drone! And great job by Hedwig to invite.

    T-claps to Palin for creating new exercise.

    That was hard. We did 4 4x4s at The Estate Monday. My partner (Thistle) had to do about 40 this morning.

    For all who weren’t in attendance and want to know how Tuco wound up stepping in for Palin….the question was asked, “Does anyone claim Toetag as a friend?” Tuco was the first to respond and so he won the prize. Way to step up (or speak up) Tuco.

    Great beatdown Palin. YHC fell asleep on the couch when I got home- smoked!

    Welcome Drone!

    Almost fell asleep driving home. Rust Bucket dragged YHC to end of partner work. Man is not human. And the view during partner assisted pickle pounders was disturbingly pleasant. #can’tunseethat

    Great work Palin. Solid 43 minute Q.

    Palin – Back-to-back Qs, we will let you slide. Thanks for your leadership – 4x4s were tough. Honor to work out with this group. Partner with Whirly = Images that will require therapy.

    Glad to see Bambi made it back out! Strong work and hope to see you back there again.

    Best of luck to TT, Earwax, and Moonlight. You guys are beasts!
