Undeniably the Classic AO, my all time favorite, the place I started and the place I took a turn as site Q. Weezer has done a awesome job with this AO. It was an honor to lead.

It’s cold, we are old

Leave a comment

Circle up
Warm up
Light to light stuff, up to and including bear crawl
To the benches for dips, no derkins, not a fan
Over to four corners with burpees in the middle
Down the hill for exercises (accumulating), back to the top, 4 or 5 times
Back up to the school for the last few exercises

Good work by Sawdust and prob a couple others, maybe
Plenty of modify as needed
Plenty of piss poor counting
Plenty of questionable form

Thanks peanut gallery, I couldn’t do it without you.

Looks like we made it,

Purple Unicorns with Glitter Accents

Leave a comment

Nice morning at The Armory.

Ran the bells across the lot. dropped and circled for a warm-up.
walkers (Imperial/Hillbilly), merkins, squats, LBC, Rinse & R.

7 boards set out. Rotate from one board to the next with a short run in between. Boards had bell exercise 15 count, both sides (L & R), non-bell exercise, finished by a 10 count bell exercise, both sides.

Returned across the lot with the boards and flipped the one at a time until time ran out.

Lots of lifting.

Thanks for the opportunity, first bell Q in many, many years.

Looks like we made it,

What’s the fun in tapering

Leave a comment

WARMUP: pledge and then ran to WEP. The run is your warmup.
THE THANG: Partner up and run opposite directions around WEP. We started out with when you meet you partner, you drop and do 10 merkins slapping hands as you come up from the merkin. With the resounding “that’s it” after initial instructions, we took off in our opposite directions.

After meeting our partners for the second time, and essentially completing 1 full lap around the park, additional exercises were included. On top of the merkins, 10 LBCs were added.

1 more full lap, 1 additional exercise…now added in 10 squats. As my partner, old bay, was responsible for telling people he passed about the new exercises, he may have told some teams the new exercises were burpees. It happens.

Last lap added in 10 flutters.
MARY: no, made it back with no time remaining.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: jaeger on 3/11, dam to dam coming up
COT: How many times do you allow ego to get in the way of potentially “good ideas”? Or how do you let ego drive decisions just because people make comments that trigger competitive tendencies? Or how do you walk into a situation thinking one thing, and then realize someone changed something you didn’t expect (every time you passed them in a big WEP circle)?

Pancakes with Scrambled Eggs and Bacon

Leave a comment

Average age, 49, a bit young for my Q’s.
The youngster, Ruby Slippers let the way, followed by … everyone, he lead the way.
Soup To Nuts was notably near the front of the pack. Yes, he is the guy that delivers that huge Uline catalog to your mailbox every month.
YHC was the sweeper, apparently that is another way of say you are last, who knew.
The Thang:
We started with a short mosey to the Sugar Creek Elementary back lot, mostly for the light, I’m scared of the dark.
7 minutes of warm-up, windmill, SSH, other stuff. When we did the Hillbilly Walker, the mumble chatter was about Tennessee, OK South Carolinians.
Then back to the top of the hill. The board said 5-10-15-20 of each exercise, 5 at the top, same 5 at the bottom, 5-10 and the top, 5-10 at the bottom, and so on. There was also extra credit when you were done, for fast guys, I’m looking at you Ruby Slippers.
Some did burpees, some put their hands on the curb and did bunny hops, it was cute. I’ll grade YHC with a C- on burpees, done, was all of them with about 1/2 of them correct-ish and 1/2 – 1/2 arsed.
Other stuff, super hard core, liver eater stuff, jump squats, merkins, shoulder taps, pull-ups, you know. Just kidding, I’ve never done a pull-up in my life.
There was a lively discussion about counting, apparently touching one shoulder is a complete shoulder tap, who knew. I guess next time we just touch the left should 20 times and call it a day.
Then some curb and bear crawl stuff
Then the board flipped, another set of 5-10-15-20. This time we did not accumulate, but did go up and down the hill with only one exercise each trip.
That is about all we had time for, YHC was sweaty and hot as balls, dang weather is saweeet!
Return to Mary was 1.2 exercises and the clock struck 6.

Right about now, Saw Dust is under the knife for a toe deal, send prayers his way. Next week he will be hitting abs on a yoga mat at an undisclosed location … if you see him, join him for an LBC.

This was my first trip to Varsity, makes me want to change up the schedule, good so see some faces that I normally do not see.

Looks like we made it,

Litter pick up – Community Svc

Leave a comment

March 18th is tentatively set as our first pick-up for the US21 adopt-a-Highway litter pickup! We will have 4 opportunities in 2023. Once a quarter is the plan.  All supplies provided ( bags, gloves, safety vests, pick up sticks, eye-wear, and fellowship) All that remains is YOU.
Plan for about 1 hour and 30 mins – 2 hours maximum. We will meet at the Harris street park around 7:45am.
We will walk up the hill to US21 and split up into 2 groups.  One group will head north to the Peachstand and back and the other group will head south to Sutton Rd and back.  (1 mile each direction)

We could use 10-12 guys to keep this an efficient and timely process. 2.0s and Ms are welcome as well as anyone who would like to participate in our community svc event.

Thank you to all who participated in 2022. Looking forward to seeing new faces as well as the HIM who assisted last year.

US 21 from the Peachstand south to Sutton Rd ( Circle K – gas station) is the road that we adopted!!
