It really helped feel some extra burn, and these guys didn\u2019t mind!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tonka regretted asking YHC about my trip, because 10 minutes later, YHC was still going on about where we went.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ziffle showed up on time, and only complained a little about the squat jumps.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Root Canal mixed in some PT that looked harder than our exercise, and had no trouble keeping up as the war daddy.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall, Torque would have fit in with this group. He\u2019s 6\u2019 2\u201d, slightly shorter than all of us, so it would have been a great way to pick on him some.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He met Tonka and Ziffle at Softball the weekend prior, and had a great time being back out at F3 again. It\u2019s a tough balance to strike when your a mechanic and on your feet all day, versus YHC who is mostly sitting at a computer. He was glad to make it out again, maybe we\u2019ll see him back in the gloom one day.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A great morning, thanks for coming out guys.
