Candu just got married.

Decided to ask PAX for 1 piece of marriage advice per PAX.

Build interlocking bridge. Patience & Listening. Don’t sweat the small stuff / choose battles wisely. Don’t be afraid to ask for help & keep God where He should be. Learn dat luv language!

Thanks for the advice fellas! Amazing how quickly life gives you opportunities to heed the advice of each one of you.

    Geek Squad asked YHC to repeat last Thursday’s Q at Hill City. Had to modify, due to this being a Bridge Beatdown and no Bridge at The Huey! (Actually, there are three VERY small bridges that just would not hold us all at the same time and not as long as the Walnut Street Bridge!) Also, YHC’s alternate name is Running Man, since many of my Q’s involve running, as named by Proscuitto on this same beatdown in Nov 2017!

    Bridge Beatdown with Running Man without the Bridge

    At Hill City, this was called an Ice Cream Show Dora, outside the best ice cream shop in town. Since there was no Ice Cream Show at The Huey, we did a Dora at the Love Shack instead.
    Circuit 2: Love Shack Dora
    Partner up.  1st pax runs from track to the Love Shack and back, while 2nd pax starts the following exercises:
    100 merkins
    200 LBCs
    300 Squats
    When 1st pax gets back, then switch places and continue where first left off:
    Rinse and repeat until finish all reps.

    2.05 miles ran, 200 merkins, 400 squats

    CIRCLE OF TRUST: Counterama, Namerama, 

    YHC shared that today his father was having a heart cath and asked for prayer. Because of my dad’s heart condition I have been excercising to stay healthy. Appreciate the accountability that F3 has provided over the last 2+ years. We pushed ourselves today and endured much. Sometimes we face times of endurances and difficulty in life. James 1:12 says “Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.”


    BALL OF MAN: Prayer in a circle to end the morning!

      Yesterday, 03/13/2019, YHC was scheduled to Q at the Lion’s Den. Unfortunately, I awoke to “call Ralph” and bowed out of the scheduled Q.  Threeskin and Prosciutto volunteered to pick up the Slack (pun intended).  Additionally, Prosciutto voluntarily admitted he once slept late for a Q, and sometimes a HIM misses a Q.
      Well, once I heard of this gracious act and statement, I remembered his story of the Exicon addition of ALARM.  I asked Geek Squad for the opportunity to Q, and we chose to co-Q.  I felt it only fitting to pay homage to Prosciutto and complete the ALARM Routine as a very small appreciation for his help yesterday.  Big thanks to Threeskin as well and his help.  The message here: we all falter at some point, and we all need help at some point in our lives.  We see it in action in F3, and we should do our best to always Pay it Forward.  Get the karma monster on your side.

      The landmine was missing this morning.  Sadly, so was The Count.
      Plethora of “she said” jokes. (We are dudes at 0515, brain activity is slower, depth is much more shallow….in that spirit, we also do not really care what people think about our antics)
      Dewayne went swimming in The Delaware…ALL the Dewaynes went swimming in the Delaware. Milkman ALMOST went swimming in the Delaware. He was told he has a really big one (when trying to recover a rock from the Delaware) and his response was, “thanks for the confidence builder.”
      Hasbro has a REALLY BIG….gold chain
      We made sure all exercises were completed and named with the utmost political correctness

      Mosey around track to Back P/L –  Warm Up: Sprinkler, Windmill, Tappy Taps, Finkle Swings   

      The Thang – Millenial

      Goal is a total count of 2000 total reps as a team. The full pax does 100 reps each of a called exercise, then runs a 100m lap back to a point where they gather again for the next called exercise. There will be 10 cycles, which get you to your number. Teamwork matters. The first nine cycles end when the FIRST person gets to 100, which keeps the pax together. The last cycle, which is always burpees, is done together (We ended up doing Burpees for a solid 4 minutes before time ended.
      Cycles: 1) SSH; 2) Lunges; 3) Merkins; 4) LBCs; 5) Mtn. Climbers; 6) Flutters; 7) Imperial Walkers; 8) Squats; 9) Oblique Crunches – 50 per side; 10) Burpees.  Named as year 2000 is within the time period around which the Millenial generation was born.
      Let me say the mumble chatter was strong today, and mostly because Radio-Head saved me from being up close and personal with a “Land-Mine.”  In this case it was a spent condom!  I of course directed everyone to move several feet from that point!  From that point forward, the barbs and jabs were flying!  At one point I recall Mr. Clean threaten to stuff Geek Squad into that “Land-Mine”…and of course there were a few, “That’s what she said” as well.  All in all it was a fun and enjoyable workout!

      Came from today’s reading from “Forward Day by Day”:  Psalm 37:1,3. Do not fret yourself because of evildoers; do not be jealous of those who do wrong.  Put your trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and feed on it’s riches.
      Most days I haven’t been out of bed very long before I catch sight of a headline on my phone or the front page of the newspaper and plunge headlong into fretting because of evildoers.  This seems a particularly dark time in our country.
      Surely, we aren’t supposed to let evil have it’s way while we sit back and wait for God to make the bad guys “wither like the grass.”
      The psalmist’s advice is quite clear: Trust in the Lord. God is in charge of the endgame.  Do good, boldly resist evil, and work for justice, mercy, and peace.  We are reassured that “there is a future for the peaceable,” and “the future of the wicked is cut off.”
      Trust. Do good. Don’t fret.

      YHC sailed away with most Q’s in 2018 (by a wide margin), and while I am proud of that, it always nagged at me that the guy responsible for getting me out there was never able to attend a single one of those Q’s.
      The streak finally ended this morning.  Pumpkin came back, and frankly, in spite of exhaustion and sickness, the excitement over this gave me extra Qdrenaline.
      The WOD is this: persistence. With help from Geek Squad, the persistence paid off and a HIM finally returned to the Gloom.  This is, of course, on the heels of the return of both Saddlebags and Snowflake! The challenge this week, especially with this crazy weather, is to remain persistence and deliberate in everything you do.

      Pumpkin returned. Due to muscle memory, the workout wasn’t at all difficult.
      According to Hasbro, my Q game needs work.  They just aren’t as difficult.
      Geek Squad once again had quite the interesting “random” playlist.
      Whittler recognized the irony of a Gold’s Gym ad during the workout.

      What is this, 80s song?  *as “Too Legit to Quit” plays which was quickly corrected to note it is a 90s song because he went by “Hammer” at that time.  Your Q actually attended the Too Legit to Quit tour in Knoxville, TN at Thompson Boling Arena.  Boyz II Men opened for him.
      When your Q saw a white truck with a TN Vols plate on the front, I started jumping around thinking the Great “Pumpkin” had returned.  She-Shed steps out and looks puzzled as to why I am hooting and hollering because he showed. I tried to make him feel as special as Pumpkin would have.  LOL!
