Rocks were Overhead Press and Bent Rows. Good choices!<\/p>\n<p>Lots of talk about the legalities of having chickens and why 5 is the magic number. Silver Fox and his neighbor may have an unfortunate interaction involving the chickens. Giles advised him to reconsider his plans.

Man knows how to do it.<\/li>\n<li>Green Acres did I think 295 pull-ups and 5 token LBCs. The War Daddy also gave an audible &#8220;yay!&#8221; when I let him call the Hucks Three Merkins. Others made different noises.<\/li>\n<li>Boomerang seemed suspicious of some of the Qs plans (rightfully) but knocked everything out with his trademark form and wit. As always.<\/li>\n<li>Silver Fox is one of the best additions to the Dash Pax in the past couple of years. We&#8217;ll miss him when the county takes him to jail for chicken-related malfesiance.<\/li>\n<li>Giles is training for his first marathon in the Midwest this fall, and is such a stone-cold runner now, it&#8217;s crazy. Twice in a week!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Great way to celebrate the last day of my 40s, thanks for the keys, Green Acres.
