Happy days

WARMUP: ssh, windmills, imp walkers, hillbilly walkers and Peter Parkers, all in cadence
THE THANG: a round of 13s – 2 stations were set up a hundred or so feet from each other. Station 1 the pax did merkins and shoulder taps – starting count was one. The pax migrated to station 2 via lieutenant dans, and at station 2 did big boi sit ups and American hammers ( or was it Russian twists, I forget) – starting count was 12. The pax returned to station via a mosey around the parking lot.

The task proved a bit ambitious for us, as we reached 6:00 with a couple of rounds left to go, but at f3, we get paid by the hour, not by the rep, so the effort was honorable

After reminiscing about the old abc wide world of sports, we spent some time brainstorming some good f3 names inspired by IP of our youth. Don’t be surprised if an upcoming fng goes home named something like Danny Zucko, Fonzie, or Grimace.
MARY: negative ghost rider
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
COT: prayers were lifted for vuvu and other pax in attendance

2025 PGA Championship – Quail Hollow

WARMUP: Pledge of Allegiance
THE THANG:
Inspired by the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow this will be a loop with 18 stops. The distance between the stops are based on the length of the holes (slightly modified down to get us 3 miles instead of the actual length of 4.3). The stops were marked with cones.
•Red = Par 4 = 4 Burpees
•Yellow = Par 3 = 20 Big Boys
•Green = Par 5 = 20 American Hammers
•Green Mile = Written on cardboard signs

We stuck together for the first 8 holes (1.25 miles) and then I turned the fast guys loose to run the remainder of the course (1.75 miles).

I didn’t hear it all, but I did hear some great mumble chatter:
– “Where’s the cart girl?” – Cyclopes
– “What’s the distance from the senior tees?” – Barry Manilow
– “There’s no such thing as a par 6, right?” – Dark Helmet

Thank you Nasa for the call.

COT:
Thank you Slapshot for your dedication and efforts as the 1st F Q!

Congratulations Bonsai and Time Machine on taking on the 1st F Q roles and to Cyclopes on assuming the LDP role. Really looking forward to seeing what you bring!

COT: Gratitude for this community, those who inhabit it and all we can influence well through our words and deeds.

Our credo is to leave no man behind and leave no man where we found him. Apply the same principle to our community by getting involved and not doing life alone. A HIM influences by word AND deed. Thankful for the men who ensure YHC has better alignment of word and deed because of F3.

Thanks for the call, Bass-o-Matic. :eye:

A beautiful morning for a run …

WARMUP: coffee for me
THE THANG: it was a perfect morning for a run, YHC did 5, Vuvu did 8-10. I gave a route and then did not follow it. Instead, down Munn (great warm up mile), left on Harris, flat, down, UP, left on Ardrey, nearing WEP I saw the boss and his merry band warming up, my pace increased … in the opposite direction, back on 160 (sidewalk nearly complete), N on 21 to the back entrance to Kingsley, around the long way, almost home and I was summoned by the fast guys rounding up. Reversed for a minute, and return
MARY: bought me coffee
ANNOUNCEMENTS: kind of
COT: discussion of cruise lines and diva amenities

Looks like we made it,

Barry M
