  • Sam & Eggs fundraiser for Samaritan Ministries on Sept 27.  See Cherry Pie to attend this awesome event.
  • Prayers for protection and safety in storm.
  • Prayers for Undertow’s father finishing up chemo.
  • YHC (the Q) took us out.

  • Welcome @Special K from F3Wilmington.  YHC didn’t know we had a guest until name-o-rama.  I assumed that he was someone that comes to TRQ that I didn’t know as I post there only about every other month.  Great work, and he fit in with the guys right away.  Prayers for his home and friends there.
  • @Bulldog was only 30 seconds late.  My 2.0, @Parkay, told me that he had @Bulldog as substitute teacher yesterday in AP Geography.  @Parkay said he’d never seen @Bulldog without a hat.  Come to think of it, I am not sure I have seen him hatless more than three times in the several years that I have known him.
  • YHC didn’t see @Spam until the rock pile.  Not sure if he was late or I was oblivious (or both).
  • @Palin and others were not motivated by some of the songs on my self-made “Random for Workout” mix channel on Spotify.
  • During the ads — I am not paying for Premium — we did Burpees.  Bonus!
  • YHC doesn’t recall all the music but does remember these:
    • “Lights Come On” by Jason Aldean
    • “Paranoid” by Green Day
    • “Let’s Stay Together” by Al Green (the Pax began to question what kind of ‘workout’ I was doing with this mix)
    • “Lovely Day” by Bill Withers (Noted correctly by @Palin that it would be good for holding merkins)
    • “Free Bird” by L.S. (I do remember this 7+ minute song matched the shoulder pounding #5 above.  Rough.)
    • “Boogie Man” by KC and the Sunshine Band
    • “Wherever I May Roam” by Metallica
  • Great to see @Thumper back in the gloom.
  • Happy Birthday to @InkSpot — 65 years young today.  We are honored that you are numbered among the F3WS Pax.

(While typing this BB, I left Spotify on the same channel and it chose “Closer to Fine” by Indigo Girls.  Glad this didn’t come up during TRQ, or there would have been a revolt.)

An honor to Q,

Burlap

    YHC will have you know, that I was a full 3-4 minutes late! Realized about half way to AO that the trusty gloves were still in the garage. Well worth the time spent to circle back and get them. The playlist was ….”interesting,” to say the least. Good to see Thumper again, Kotters! Looking forward to visiting Special K and the Pax in Wilmington during Thanksgiving.
