“The evening of your life is determined by the morning of it.” -G Laurie

Indian Run with a 10 merkin drop from the front. Once pax completed ten the next line leader would drop, give ten and catch back up to the line. Repeat all the way back to COT.

Finished up having pax holding a cup. We had three cups flipped over on the ground. I spoke to filling our cups daily from the Lord relying on his grace and mercy through his word. The three cups on the ground represent the brothers that need our support and the Lord for daily guidance. If we leave them turned over they will never come to see the true love of the Lord. So remember reach out to those pax that you have not seen in a while and see how they are doing. The Lord fills our cup daily so that we can be a blessing to those he puts in our lives.

Psalm 23:2

Aye

Riddler in for the Slow Burn

Awesome turn out and great morning with men that are getting better together. See divided we can only accomplish a little, but with a brother and someone to hold us accountable to our goals, we can accomplish so much more. Let’s continue to give it away brothers and get more men out of the Sad Clown syndrome and get better!!!

Overcoming Fear at Slowburn

Leave a comment
  • QIC: Old Bay

  • Pax: Flat Tire, Dilbert, Destiny, Senator Tressel, Bait Shop, Sheetrock, Quickbooks, Culture Club, Gilmore, Griswald, Beacon, Change Order, Drop Thrill, Barry Manilow, Gopher, Twister, Hasselhoff, Old Bay
  • Posted In: Slow Burn

A lively group of 20 pax posted to SlowBurn for the infamously moderate, end of the week workout. Thanks to high-quality #mumblechatter, Twister helped all pax get up to speed on how Senator Tressel’s washing machine is doing (nothing bombjack-worthy to see here). It’s the unpredictability of mumblechatter that makes Slowburn, and all F3 workouts, worth getting up for at 0430.

Warm-up
Mosey down around the lower parking lots, landing in the parking lot for one of the new-ish buildings just behind Jimmy John’s for warm-up exercises.

– SSH x20
– Windmills x15
– Tunnel touches x 15
– IW x15
– Merkins x10
– Mountain Climbers x10
– Low Slow Squats x 10

Mosey over to another parking lot closer toward Pleasant Road.

The Thang

Slow Dirty McDeuce – 12x, slow 4 count for each exercise

Set 1
– Wide arm Merkins
– Squats
– Clockwork LBCs
>> lap around one of the medical buildings with shuffle left/right and karaoke left/right

Set 2
– Curb Dry Docks
– Calf Raises
– Chop Sticks
>> lap around one of the medical buildings with shuffle left/right and karaoke left/right

Set 3
– Dip
– Step lunges
– Weezy Jefferson
>> lap around one of the medical buildings with shuffle left/right and karaoke left/right

Set 4 – Progressive
Jack Web (1-5)
– Merkins
– 4 overhead claps
– 4 squats
>> lap around one of the medical buildings with shuffle left/right and karaoke left/right

We had a little time left, so the pax were treated to a bonus exercise of 10 slow-motion bombjacks. This was down by pax holding starting position of bombjacks (squatting) until the Q called “up” to do the bomb jack.

Time’s up. Mosey back to COT.

Molesking
During the workout, we talked about how fear often shapes so much in our lives. Fear is not necessarily a bad thing, but it depends on what you are fearing, and what your response to it is. So much of our lives are spent reacting to social fears. This can not only cause us to do things displeasing to God, but in many cases those actions can be downright sinful. A fearful respect of God is the kind of fear that should move us toward action in the right direction. Social fears are an instrument of the devil to turn us away from God. And I think with just a few minutes of reflection, we’d all admit it is a powerful weapon. Even if you don’t see it in yourself, the Bible is full of examples where very Godly people make bad choices based on fearing man more than fearfully respecting the Lord. Take a few moments to see how fear is shaping your life, every week, every day, every moment.

Great work today, pax. Thanks for the opportunity to lead, and the encouraging words throughout (especially those from Twister in COT). And thanks to Barry Manilow for scheduling me to Q at this AO, where I posted as an FNG almost exactly 2 years ago.

(BTW, I missed a couple pax b/c my phone didn’t record correctly. Sound off (or ping me on the twitter) if missed and I’ll update the post. #cobains

FLOOD RELIEF EFFORTS: Calling all Fort and Rock Pax

Leave a comment

10/28/16
UPDATE:
I just got our work assignments.  We received 5 work orders for tree removal and 1 for house muckout (remove drywall, carpet, etc).  We will need to bring tools (chainsaws, axes, shovels, rakes, wheelbarrows, leaf blower, etc) like we did last week and additional tools (flat nosed shovels, hammers, sheetrock knives, wheelbarrows, etc) and safety equipment (gloves, safety glasses, dust masks, etc) this week.

The current plan is that we will meet at the Lowes by Baxter at 5:00 and leave for Conway, SC.  We would complete work at about 2:00 or 3:00 so that we can return for trick-or-treating with our families.  We will need to bring lunches and water.

Please DM @darkhelmetf3 or email me: frankschwartz@me.com with your HCs.

==============================================================================

10/21/16
UPDATE:
Work crews leaving out tomorrow. We will need help next week as well, so please check your calendars and let me know if you can make it. Here’s the details for tomorrow’s work.

Everyone,
We have been assigned 6 work orders to remove fallen trees (some greater than 18″ diameter) in the Bishopsville area.  We will be meeting tomorrow morning at the Lowe’s in Baxter at 6:00 am and will be leaving at 6:15. This will put us in Bishopsville at about 8:00.

We will be splitting into 2 groups and each group will have a team leader and will work on 3 work orders.  We will carpool and drive down as groups since the groups will be working at different addresses.

The teams are a mix of F3 Pax and Men (and one M) from my church. Again, there will be opportunity to go again next weekend, so LET ME KNOW.

We need to bring the following tools and we will split them up between the 2 groups:

Chainsaws (I think 5 were volunteered and so please bring them along with gas, oil, sharpening tools or whatever else would be needed)
Crowbars
Rakes
Axes
Wheelbarrows

Bring what you need to work safely.
In order to ensure we are as safe as possible while working on these projects, remember not to work after dark when good visibility is no longer possible, and please be sure to bring:

  • Safety glasses / goggles
  • Work boots or sturdy closed toe shoes
  • Work gloves
  • Pants (not shorts)

We need to bring our own lunch and water.  The team leaders will bring a cooler for water and drinks to be put in.

We will work until 5:30 or 6:00 and so if we finish our work orders early then we will see if there are other neighbors in the area that would like some help.  We can then find a place to eat in Bishopsville or head home. 

==============================================================================

10/19/16
UPDATE:
Flood waters are finally starting to recede on the coast in some areas to a point where we can get in to help. I don’t have all the details yet. They should be forthcoming soon, but here is what I know and what I need at this point.
WHAT I KNOW AT THIS POINT:
Early Saturday morning we are looking for strong backs and weak minds to travel to Myrtle Beach and Florence, SC to start the debris clearing. This means that we will need willing men, chainsaws, hand saws, loppers, shovels, possibly wheelbarrows, etc. We will be heading back that evening on this go around. (We will likely be doing an overnight trip next week once the mucking out of houses and such begins. Flood waters are not allowing for this in most areas at this time, is what I understand.) We will also be taking donations down with us. We will take the water that has been collected to now, and any other that we may be able to collect between now and then…
WHAT I NEED AT THIS POINT:
Your HCs ASAP! Hit me on twitter: @darkhelmetf3 (I’ll follow you back so we can share contact info if needed) and tell me if you can make it. It will be a very early start and a fairly late return that day.

Men, I know that there are TONS of ways to help right now, and TONS of places we could do it. If this doesn’t fit you, that’s ok, just help somewhere. However, this is what we are being asked to do for right now. It may seem like a small thing, but it will make a big difference.

==============================================================================

10/11/16
UPDATE:
Pax, I thought it would be good to give an update on where things stand with the relief efforts. There is much more damage and many more problems than we anticipated in SC, GA, and NC than we (in the Fort) have resources to take care of. It’s important to remember that we will hear of needs all over. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to do it all. I often get frustrated and sad that we can’t just fix it, but so be it.

That said, at this time, we are in a holding pattern. The storm surge is continuing to rise in many of those areas, and over the next 48 hours or so there will be continued flooding and other problems that will continue to arise. It will likely be this weekend and into next week before we can safely enter any of those areas. So, as hard as it is, hang tight. Please keep letting me know about the needs that you hear of and about your individual availability to travel (possibly overnight) to affected areas over this weekend and into (and through) next week. Also, keep your eyes on the Twitter machine and FB, etc. for further updates.

Thank you, men, for all you do.
Helmet, out.

 

==============================================================================
10/8/16
Almost one year to the day from our relief efforts in Columbia, SC, and here we go again. Our brothers (F3), but maybe even more importantly, the communities where our brothers and sisters (God’s children) live are feeling the force and will soon be digging out from the devastation of Hurricane Matthew.

I am in contact with some of our coastal Pax and with members and leaders of my Church to try and get updates on needs. I imagine that there will be needs for donations, much like we had for Columbia (water, food, fuel, etc.), and also we want to organize work crews to go down as needed. At this point (10/8/16, 1700hrs), I know of many downed trees, lots of flooding, etc., but we do not know yet what can be done or when. Many communities (whole counties actually) have not started letting residents back in yet.

Here is what I need from you. I need to know if you can plan to go down with crews sometime in the coming days and weeks to administer relief. This will likely consist of delivering supplies, clearing roads, removing debris, and gutting homes and businesses that were flooded. We will need tools, strong backs, and donations. As soon as I know more, I will amend this post.

Again, at this point, if you can comment on this post, or DM me on Twitter, as to whether you can go and what days, that will help to start. Also, if you know of needs or people that are in those areas organizing efforts there, that would be great to know also.

Aye!

26 PAX came to the Baxter Chick filet ready to end the first week of Fort Mill Schools back in session and get their weekend started. 0515 hit and YHC did the obligatory disclaimer and such. Informed the PAX there has been mention of too much complaining and not enough encouragement, and with that I was brutally assaulted with words and foul language. I wiped the tears away and we took off for a mosey down to Empire!

Once in front of Empire we did

  • butt kickers down the lane
  • High knees back
  • Karaoke down
  • Karaoke back
  • backward run halfway, turn and sprint
  • backward run halfway, turn and sprint

COP

  • SSHs, Mekins, Imperial Wakers, Wide Arm Merkins, Hillbilly walkers, LBCs, some other stuff that I’m too tired to remember and due to mumble chatter I can’t think of

Split into 1’s and 2’s for the NANTAN showdown.

Mosey over to lot next to lowes. one line for the

  • 1’s Pusher’s Squad of street corner punks
  • 2’s CSPANS clan of misfits from the Fort
  1. First Round – BEar Crawl to each cone and get to end. Guys in line do Lunges/Calf Raises
  2. Second Round – Backward Bear crawl around each cone and get to end. Guys in line do Lunges/Calf Raises
  3. Third round – As team bear crawl and perform exercise on Cones.
  4. Fourth round – As team bear crawl and perform exercise on Cones flap jack to other line

Mosey back over by Baxters Bunch and Circle up

  • Freddys. Protractor, Rosalitas, Hello Dolly’s, Superman’s. Parachute. Mak tar chis
  • COT

Prayers for Tim, Tony and Senator Tressel for healing and God’s peace. All PAX dealing with forgiveness and relationships.

I spoke to the PAX about forgiveness and our need to know SKY Q, our need for forgiveness and our duty to extend that to others. Forgiveness brings relationships closer and tighter. Our vulnerability opens our heart to forgive and show others we are not perfect but are willing to admit it and change. My challenge to the PAX was to reach out to those difficult relationships and extend an olive branch. It is a hard thing to do, but we will be stronger because of it.

Thanks Barry for the Q. Humbled and Honored!!
