Cruising around Conspiracy

QIC: BAM

Date: 07/21/21

PAX: Mutton (WD), Burns (WB), Palin, Lamb Chop, Greenspan, Snooki, BAM

YHC has historically gone to southern Virginia for Bells ‘n Whistles, but when Lamb Chop asked if YHC would forego the usual routine and head south to the mothership AO, you can’t turn down that honor.

Having heard that Sir Toto is back in town and living nearby, there was hope my lord would grace us with his presence, but alas, his valet must have let him sleep in today.

Hanes Park still is a most regal AO, with so much to explore and do, YHC was excited to help the pax venture about!  And thankfully YHC found a weinke from who knows how many years ago that seemed to do to the trick!

A couple of the fastholes, who knew who the Q was, decided a RIRO would help them actually break a sweat.  And while the temps were an idyllic upper 60’s the humidity remained in the upper 90’s so sweating was not a problem!

A veteran group assembled for the launch, so to #stickittotheman, no core principles or mission statement was given.  #freedom

NMM

• Greenspan and Burns wondered where Palin was for their run in and were surprised to learn he doesn’t turn on every light in his house while getting ready for a workout
• Pax assumed Razzie was running late, but never found us
• Palin and the Q had a lovely chat while the rest of the pax kept the cadence about what start position is during squats and also when a workout actually starts (is the first exercise or when the Q says it’s 0530 and begins talking)
• Pax also learned Snooki has a phone that actually texts!  Feels like an upgrade for our resident smoke signal using pax
• Evidently the Intimidator was used heavily last week, there was much rejoicing when we started there
• Palin runs faster backwards than forwards, and all the pax run faster than YHC
• Many of the pax were unfamiliar with the Daniel Boone monument across the street from Joymongers.  When Kapow was in Cub Scouts, YHC learned about it.
  • It is not connected to the Daniel Boone Inn
• Monkey Humpers on the corner of Reynolda and Hawthorne is the “perfect” location, Mutton got a few catcalls on his form
• Pax were feeling romantic and wanted to keep going past the benches to find a good spot to see the sunrise, the Q declined to oblige
• The tunnel has gotten much nicer in recent years since they re-did Hawthorne right there
• Initial confusion on the “hang” portion, pax were hoping for a the dead arm variety as opposed to the holding the chin up position
• Snooki was bored with the ease of this, so did some fancy leg dancing while hanging
• Burns prefers the spread eagle approach to hanging, thankfully his back was to the pax.  #myeyes
• The stairs below the pull up bars are dicey, pax took a Toto-approved speed and walked down them
• Palin decline the invite to RO with the fastholes and run back to get his car.  Something about he had gas and didn’t trust Lamb Chop

Prayer Requests

• Giles and Jazzy’s M and their cancer treatments
• Boomerang’s sister ending her cancer treatments
• Thanks from Mutton for our prayers for his brother in law, undergoing a treatment for myeloma
• Snapchat’s family at the passing of his brother
