I knew there would come a time when I would make the trek over to Apex Nature Boy Park. Home of Carpex’s quiet workout. Only been to DP once and was in trouble early on for being a little loud.
78 degrees, humid as hell, 32 33 Pax rolled in to have some fun, get stronger and learn that, as in life, workouts are best if not in a straight line.
Bad 80’s tunes were on the box, a variety of baseball gear was on display promoting our 2nd F Durm Bulls Game on Sunday. Hello Kitty was sporting a cool Freedom baseball shirt and YHC had his AWAY grey Dodgers jersey on because this is Apex and I live in Cary. Note: White Dodger jersey was at SNS.
Three father/son combos in the house. Dice and Bo Jackson wrapping up a six pack week (Awsome work guys), Swag and son FNG Trail Mix (12 yrs young – war baby) and Half and his poppa FNG Milli Vanilli (58 yrs young – war daddy). Just what we needed…more youth and respects. Yay! BTW: In retrospect, Kitty feels we should have named Milli Vanilli (MV) Footloose cause it was on the box when we were naming. Next time.
5:46. I grabbed the box and we headed down to the cul-de-sac for some warm up.

COT
- We circled up, we did the name-a-rama, we named Trail Mix and Milli Vanilli
- We announced some stuff. Nobody listened. See Twitter, group me or CarPex Chronicle.
- We prayed and praised. Hello Kitty’s traveling family, Hi Liters dad, the family of the young boy killed in the car accident + for good judgement for our young adults, MaBell/Banjo heading to WVA for ASP and few others.
- YHC took us out.
Enjoyed DP. I will be back. You men gave me energy this morning. Let’s do it again.
Later.
