Lots of mumblechatter spread evenly between the 5 other PAX clouded their counting ability. 7 reverse lunges per side: Rockier. Should have said stay one one leg for 7 then switch. 11 tempo merkins, 3 down 1 up. [Read More]

Date: 11/26/2020 PAX: Ausfaht, Michelob, WWW Since being in Alamance plant on a temporary assignment, I was not able to post in the gloom in the mornings. When the opportunity to post in the gloom was on Thanksgiving Day, I took advantage of it. Ausfaht kept the mission going by being there for the HIMs. I’m so proud of him. He still continues to bring enthusiasm and fire. QIC/YHC made sure that I made coffee for our fellowship afterwards. [Read More]

It’s been a loooong time since YHC has been to FWD. Wonder if anything has changed? YHC got out of the car and could hear Hermes squeaky, but booming voice, telling dad bad jokes. Nope, nothing has changed. After a lengthy disclaimer orated by YHC, the eleven of us were off on a warm-up run that included the FWD baby gherkin pickle and continued to the parking lot where we used to do Monkey Humpers in front of the Crossfit place.

Coming Home and a Whole Bunch of Nickels

 Posted on November 19, 2020  |  4 minutes  |  827 words  |  

Preamble When Respect Week was announced, I immediately signed up to Q BO. You see, BO was where YHC’s first post occurred and where Ma Bell was born. Make no mistake: the couple of other so-called Ma Bells across F3 Nation are but impostors. There is only one Ma Bell. But I digress. Anyway, it is for this reason, as well as the fact that this is the best AO in CarPex in terms of variety and history, that I have an emotional attachment here. [Read More]

Pearls on an Elastic String

It was a beautiful, crisp morning in the gloom. Eleven men set out to exercise. Much to the disappointment of the younguns, there were no respects wearing Depends. The younguns thought it would be an easy workout and they’d get a real workout later. They would learn differently soon. The rule of the day was if you arrived at the meeting spot before the Six was in, you were to circle back to Pick Up The Six so that all the PAX would arrive together. [Read More]
