  • 24-hour CSAUP event August 28th-29th.

  • Seriously, sign up for the Shmed. All proceeds will go to Crisis Control.  Turnover and Drama Queen have each pledged $10 for each attendee of the 2 am workout.
  • There will be a food drive between now and the Shmed, and also at the Shmed itself. Cans of food can be brought to workouts at the Outhouse, Estate, Mayhem, and WIB.

CoT:

Teachers and students navigating virtual school beginning today.  Early returns are not looking promising.

Burns and his M going through a blue time feeling beat down.

Little Piggy’s M started a new job at Baptist this week.

NMM:

  • “You literally cried the last time we did this!” – Turnover
  • TO’s outburst was the best of the mumblechatter that erupted from the pax upon seeing YHC’s weinke. Other gems caught were:
    • “I’m going to the Estate.” — Huckleberry.  Nice javelin to the heart there, bud.
    • “Why is everyone freaking out?” – Palin, who was in Italy during September 2019.
    • “Yes.” – Van Gogh, very confidently.
    • “What the *$!@? Turn that weinke back over.” – Zima
    • “What is Meatloaf’s Massacre?“ – Spam, with a glazed look on his face.
    • “I’m glad I opted for the 25 lb. dumbbell.” – Total Recall
    • “-“ – Lace, with a calm look on his face.
    • “I’m not doing this again.” – Tar Heel, as he walked off into the woods.
  • Van Gogh and Lace completed four rounds!!! Zima was on the running portion of the fourth round!  They are ready for IPC2020.
  • Much concern was expressed that pax move their coupons off the path when going for their runs so as not to create hurdles for their brothers.
  • Palin took the ribbing for his Italian escape last year in stride.
  • Zima kept YHC going with encouraging words through three rounds and then flat-out left me on the fourth circuit of reps. Man is not human.
  • VG finished with 4 minutes to spare. He tried to convince us (himself) that he was going to rest.  Within 15 seconds, he had his block above his head going for another round.
  • Turnover & Huck seemed really upset. As in, YHC thought some professional reconciliation was going to be needed after the workout.  We’re cool.
  • Total Recall arrived at the bell without a block. He expressed frustration at the rotating format at the Outhouse and asked how everyone else knew what to bring.  Slack, man (the platform, not an evaluation of the pax).
  • Tar Heel got to work after his return from the woods.  Someone get him on a Q calendar!
  • Spam said the only reason he came today was because he felt he ought to attend the AO closest to his residence at least once a month. I’ll take it!
  • Lace was just as calm throughout and after the workout as he was at the beginning.
  • A determined quiet settled over the pax as they got to work. For a while, the only sound YHC heard was that of footsteps as pax cruised around the circle.

 

Why did we do this?  Because it’s hard and doing hard things with other men is one of the most satisfying things for YHC during this stage of life, outside of loving my M and being a daddy.  YHC is thankful for you all.

YHC will turn the keys over to Razzie for his first KB workout Q next week!  Y’all come back, ya hear?

    How bad is this workout? YHC completed it last year during IPC. Wanting never to be reminded of it again, I apparently wiped it from my memory. So, thanks. Thanks Greenspan. It took about one man maker to jog my memory back to life.
