It was a rainy morning over at Padre’s House of Pain! However we had seven rough and tough Pax show up for a morning BeatDown.

Mosey for a mile up to community near the church for some cul de sac loops back and forth

Back to PHOP for the riddle
What weighs 11 ounces and can be dangerous? A small handgun, fully loaded handguns general weigh around 11 ounces per my source(Google). So we loaded up the exercises in our Gun.

First person bear crawled up the steps of PHOP and performed 10 incline merkins, 10 Derkins and 10 dips, then bear crawled to the end of the line.

The rest of the Pax do as many of the exercise they have landed on. Then rotate just as a gun does after being fired, when the pax bear crawling returns move to the next bullet(cup).

Each Bullet(cup) had two exercises one on each side we performed Two rounds, with each pax getting through each Bullet(Cup).

Exercises on a bullet included:
Merkins
Wide Arm Merkins
Carolina Dry Docks
Burpees
Flying Squirrels
Parker Peters
Peter Parkers
Mountain Climbers
Plank Jacks
Run around PHOP(For a break in between)
Shoulder taps(or shower caps if you are Schrute and cannot read my hand writing)
Low Slow Squats
Diamond Merkins
Superman Dips(A Burgundy Staple)

After the bullets were fired, and our arms were tired, we finished with another run around PHOP. Then a dead sprint to COT.

With time left we needed more:
10 Low Slow Squats
20 Goofy’s (think climbing a ladder, without a ladder)
10 Moroccan NightClubs

COT
Talked about the lord bringing rain to the people of the desert who wandered for 40 years. He provides nourishment through rain in the form of mana, to those in need at the right time. Make sure to encourage those with the Third F – Faith. Put your trust in the lord and help others as he calls us to do.

Prayers
Apaches company is growing and shifting their business model. Change is occurring pray for continued growth for him as a schedule change may occur and he will not be able to attend F3 as much.

Pray for Amanda, a dear friend of River Rats, who is fighting life threatening Cancer.

Pray for Schrute as his day to day is becoming harder. Pressure at work to lessen and for him to continue to be positive.

Pray for Tinker Toy and Mailman’s pastor’s wife, as she continues the fight with Cancer. May they both continue to be leaders at their church as their pastors family is dealing with this rough period.

As always it was good to see all of those show up and join me in the gloom for a rainy experience. Pretty sure all of our shirts had a few buckets worth of water.

See you in the Gloom.

Aye

The Riddler
