WARMUP: Bitcoin took us thru the disclaimer and a solid Warmup, complete with Imperial Walkers Hilly Billy Walkers, Wind Mills Cherry Pickers, which all began w a mosey.

The Thang:

Fogerty grabbed the Q and lead the Pax onto the Turf football field for a full 100yd ladder at every 10 yd markers.  Each pax added a rep up until mid field and then removed one rep until they reached the other goal line. Pax stated with 1 bombjax and 1 merkin at the 10yd line….2 of each at the 20, 3 of each at the 30yd line…Pax made their way back to the original goal line with same cadence but this time it was squats with overhead clap. Pax headed back to COT when Buddy ( Cousin Eddie son) took the Q stick and led the entire group back to COT w some butt kickers, Grapevine switching sides, Hops and finally a mosey to Circle up for 3 mins of Mary. Buddy did not relinquish the Q stick and led the pax in a round of Big Boys until time was called. Mumblechatter erupted around the 15th rep….but we were all better for it !! Nice job Buddy!!

ANNOUNCEMENTS: stuff the bus, HIM camp next weekend and a round of prayers / praises from every pax.

However I felt it important to share with the guys what is happening around them. We also were able to congratulate Double D in his hand off of Nantan to Esso. Double D, thank you for you service to the pax. You have always been someone who ask the tough questions that challenge us and I thank you for that and what you did for our Region during your reign as Nantan. Esso, I look forward where you are going to take us and your energy to lead. We have a bright future ahead.
