The Kickoff of the Funhouse Farewell Tour

WARMUP:
I am certain we warmed up.

THE THANG:
It occurred to me as I sat to write this, that I have no idea (since it was a MONTH ago) what all we did that morning. I usually have a plan written out ahead that I either commit to memory, or will even shove a printout in my pocket to reference just in case. I didn’t do that this time. I know that I tried to call a few of the favorites of <@UGNDJBDU3> in his honor. I know we hit The Zipper and we definitely performed the Gonorrhea Burpee (because it has The Clap), but that’s all I really recall…

Now, the only person likely to read this is <@UGU3XR5RP>, but I just got painfully convicted about not writing Backblasts in a timely nor efficient manner. As I was looking back to see if I could find this weinke, I discovered that I have the BB from both my FNG post (administered by <@UN6U5PXNJ> and <@U08GGTLHL>) and from my VQ at The Armory.

<@U07QXBKKF5F> joined us as an FNG that morning. As it turns out, this came at a critical time in his life… and is hopefully blessing it. But, I failed him as a Q. He now does not have the enjoyment or blessing of being able to go back and read the report from his first post and reflect on that in the same way that I do. The first day I posted, I was sure I was going to die when Pusher said, “And now for the second half, I’ll hand this off to Jekyll”. I didn’t understand how the toughest workout I had ever done to that point in my adult life could have a SECOND HALF.

That’s a cherished memory. So, for Road Rash and every man after him, I commit to writing BackBlasts, making them interesting and timely, and hyping the reading of them after the fact. I also will attempt to persuade other men to do the same.

MARY: No chicks.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter.

COT: The 5th Core Principle.

Cindy is missing!!!

Did a warmup near shovel flag as we anticipated the arrival of our fearless Q. SSH, windmills, shoulder taps, Imperial Walkers and Peter Parker’s. Decided we would take a mosey down to the next stop for a few other exercise’s. Was headed to see Cindy but she was kidnapped so we had to improvise with rocks instead. Tricep extensions, curls, overhead presses and squats. 3 rounds of 20. Anchorman put us on a DORA with merkins, big boys and squats. With a few minutes left Old Bay gave us a wall sit exercise to round things out. Back to COT for ab lab led by the pax. Shorty will get another chance to redeem himself in the next few weeks. Peace out.

Buckets returned to DP

Great to meet <@U06UAQUR0MC> and <@U07JQCKBEPK> this morning and we traced through Kingsley to find strategically placed buckets of pain.

At each bucket a pax picked a ticket of pain to execute. Then it was a mosey to the next bucket. :bucket: All enjoyed immensely.

As light came up we thought of those in Florida who will be homeless and those in WNC who are struggling. Prayers for our kids and the anticipation of two of us soon becoming grandfathers. We had a praise report of personal goals being met along with some encouragement of how the pax of F3 can help a man provide accountability and be held accountable.
