Launching into the Week

Launching into the Week

QIC: Slowpitch

Date: 06.15.2026

PAX: @Burns, @TripleA (former FNG, WD), @TexasInstrument (former FNG), @Autobot (WB), @Spicoli, @Slowpitch

YHC enjoyed making the trip out to Launchpad this week and seeing what it’s all about. So much space for activities! Not only that but there were 2 FNG’s that came along for the ride this morning. We all enjoyed a full body beatdown and launched our weeks off on the right foot, or the left foot if you’re Spicoli.

The thang:
I am just going to draw it out. This probably doesn’t make any sense but you had to be there. It was very simple and we climbed the ladder and came back down. 10, 15, 20, 15, 10, DONE!

PS – Who cares about the drawing anyway, we have 2 FNG’s we need to learn about.

• Burns is a legend. The man ran 10 miles up and down the mountains yesterday and still came out and posted. Not even just posted but made the workout look easy! His legs weren’t even phased.
• This was my first time meeting Autobot who I learned graduated from App State not just once but also has his Masters from App State in a field I cant even type out because it is wayyyyy too smart for me. Autobot is a good kid, yes kid, who just recently started with F3 and is straight up beast mode. It was great meeting you Autobot.
• Spicoli, who showed up on time, actually he was early! Yes you read that correctly. Anyway, he showed off his memory skills when talking to the former FNGs and gathering information so we can come up with some good nicknames post beatdown. He showed me the proper way to do a Carolina Dry Dock and I replied “modified if necessary” because it looked like a mix between a blank, a merkin and a dive bomber….fun!
• Alright to our first former FNG TripleA. TripleA came over to us around 0628 this morning and was like “Hey can I join you? I also have a friend coming.” We all said “Absolutely!” His name is Jim CARR (that important) and made his way from New Mexico and Washington. He worked for Expedia in IT. If you are following here, there is a lot to do with cars, travel, etc. so that is how TripleA came about. The man deserves his DOUBLE RESPECT because he doesn’t look a day over 21 and made today’s beatdown look like a stretch. BEAST! Welcome TripleA, we are better because you are here.
• Now for TexasInstrument. He was more quiet than TripleA but we pulled some good information out of him. Worked in a Tobacco Field (I tried going with Grizzley but that was a no), from Stokes, is retired but runs a Recycling business on the side, and was a Math teacher for many years. So names were thrown out there with recycling, tobacco fields, and then boom Spicoli hit us with TexasInstrument and that stuck. Another DOUBLE RESPECT who doesn’t look a day over 21 and made today’s beatdown look like a stretch. BEAST! Welcome TexasInstrument, we are better because you are here.

I had fun today at Launchpad. Thank you for the keys Burns. I put them back on the rocket ship.
