That’s not a donut CB

Rain sucked. Did SSH and ran for cover where we stayed until the end. Sawdust had 2 25lb plates in his ride that we took advantage of for the duration.

Did a brief warmup and got right into it. 2 pax did exercises with plates while the rest did a mode of transport to end of carport with a 10 count exercise. Rotation fashion and did till we stopped.

Pavement Spa

Eight men showed up this morning for the party. Quick disclaimer, few steps back, warm-ups (SSHs, IWs, WMs).
Next, we moseyed to the Pharma. Plank exercises, merkins, Peter Parker, Wide Arm Merkins, Parker Peter, 6 inch hold.
We then made our way to the old Hardees parking lot. I thought it was repaved, but it was rough as sandpaper. Crab walk from one end to the other, stopping at each parking stripe for 10 LBCs. Back the other way, bear crawl with merkins at every stop. We were now soaking wet with bruised hands.
Jog to Unity church for a Dora (CDDs, Squats, Flutters), run to bottom of the hill and back.
We made our last stop at the Footloose AO. Keeping our same partners, Partner 1 ran to the end of the lot and back while Partner 2 bear crawled. Flipflop upon return.

COT: Prayers for Drop Thrill’s Aunt Norma. Praises for 3D transitioning into a new job. Continued prayers for Time Machine’s family.
Additional Notes about COT: There were qty: two 2.0s. Bowser Jr, age 9 and Tap Out age 11. During COT, I sent them away from the group to have their own COT. This allows for a safe time for adult men to share and be open with things that they might not be comfortable saying around children. I put Tap Out in charge, and I gave them the following discussion questions:
– Who is your best friend, and what do you like about them?
– What are some ways that you can be a better friend?

Quotes:
Mark 10:13-14,16. From the New Living Translation:
13 One day, some parents brought their children to Jesus so he could touch and bless them. But the disciples scolded the parents for bothering him.
14 When Jesus saw what was happening, he was angry with his disciples. He said to them, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children.”
16 Then he took the children in his arms and placed his hands on their heads and blessed them.

From Brantley Gilbert’s “Me and My House”
“For me and my house, we ain’t raising kids. We’re raising God-fearing women and men.”
