Baited

Goonie hit up YHC a few weeks ago with an invite to Q Base Camp.  Mondays are typically reserved for the M to post FIA.  Been a while since the early alarm sounded for a Monday F3 workout.  PAX kept on showing up until the circle swelled to 29 dudes.  1 FNG accompanied Drano.  Concise, yet thorough disclaimer laid on the PAX.  Emphasis placed on the part about the Q not being responsible for anyone’s personal safety.  Modify as necessary.  Work hard and watch out for your fellow PAX.

Reviewed a few Base Camp backblasts to get an idea of the happenings at this site.  Goonie was impressed with the number of PAX on hand.  29 is a big group.  Simba took a moment to introduce YHC as the A51 Nantan, or regional Q.  Further indicated that YHC was on site to review the management.  That’s a negative, but since you mention it, let me take a moment to do just that.  I believe Fireman Ed was a former site Q.  He was here.  Always good to see him.  Back to current management.  Simba and Goonie do a superb job as site Q’s during a workout.  All indications suggest that they also do a superb job with scheduling Q’s and making sure backblasts are posted, etc.  Well done men.  Simba reminded YHC of our FNG at the end of the workout.  Goonie told YHC that next time he better not get short-changed by a minute and a half.  Agreed.  That bus though…safety first. Thank you, men, for your leadership as site Q’s.   Base Camp is a great workout to get guys leadership opportunities.  Encourage guys to step up and Q a workout.  Help them as much as necessary to get them ready.

A lot of encouragement given by many of the PAX.  Booyah kept an eye on the six and made sure YHC was informed.  T-claps to the many leaders out today.  We all make these workouts happen. If you have not yet Q’d a workout, get one on the books and get ready.  Any of us will help you prepare.

Welcome FNG-Corn Row.  Told us he came out to see how bad of shape he was in.  That may have hurt, but he got it done.  Keep posting and you will get better.

Small, nameless group of Larry Bird’s each time we moseyed.  Usually a good idea to follow the Q.  YHC has been known to execute the Crazy Ivan.  We certainly don’t want to lose anyone.

YHC opened it up on the return run of one of the partner stacks.  Utah and Hannibal took the bait.  Off we went.  Good push men.

All appeared to work hard today.  Solid crew at Base Camp.  Very much appreciate the invite to Q and hope to wrestle another Monday from the M soon.  Thanks to Simba for the takeout prayer.
