Bells and Whistles – 2.11.2026

It was the first day of 2026 that shorts were appropriate for morning festivities.  BAM reminded me that I was on the calendar earlier in the week and I am glad he did because I probably would have missed this one.  I am glad I did not.  10 HIMS showed up despite potholes that took a tire out for Starfish and black ice still littering the residential streets.

I had been thinking about a new sequence of exercises in anticipation of the new AO in Lewisville.  Western Front  will be launching this Friday (2.13.2026) and it promises to be a good one with a higher intensity bootcamp.  I will be the site Q initially and I’ll be reaching out for Q’s.  I only ask for one per year.
