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,

During Plank we got to hear about each PAX’s favorite place from where they grew up that was still there last time they went back. Slash and I had a bit of back-n-forth because the Greenway wasn’t really here when we were growing up and so much has changed in Fort Mill. Plus we both lamented Tony’s Pizza burning down.

@Cheddah- Jones Donuts
@Weezer- Al’s Fries
@OldBay- Breaker’s Pool Hall
@Mainframe- Texas Tavern
@Cyclops- Alfee’s Pizza
@JWOW- Vinny’s Pizzarama
@dilbert – Baseball Field
@Change Order- Intercoastal Waterway
@Flounder- Mosquitoes (WTH? Your favorite?)
@Esso- The Complex
@Slash- Village Pizza
@Shady- Sweet Sensations ice cream (and massage parlor?)
@Band Camp- Bartlett Tree Farm

An honor to lead.
