YHC departed the house this morning to rain, heat lightning, and ominous weather forecasts from the local weather geeks. During my short drive to the AO (which included a gully washer- ‘Bama lingo for heavy rain), a Weinke audible was quickly formulated that involved covered spaces. Zero cars in the parking lot at 5:26 a.m. A quick check of Weather Bug revealed potential clearing, thus lifting YHC’s spirits. As if on cue, the PAX arrived. We were doing this uncovered. #swingforthefences Audibled the audible.
Disclaimer was provided mainly for Slum Dog’s benefit, as he returned to the PAX after a 3-4 year absence. Is there such a thing as a Born Again FNG?? Well, maybe there should be…. Off into the gloom we went sans rain.
Warm-up:
The THANG:
Mosey down Rea Rd towards Colony. Left on Chadwyck Farms Dr. Stop at Windyrush Rd.
Continue on Windyrush Rd. Stop at funky ranch house w/ the white mailbox, a.k.a. the bottom of the hill. Top of the hill was defined as Banfield Place which is a gated entrance to Bellmore, aptly renamed “Hellmore” by Pop Tart later in the workout. As Egypt noted, “That is where the rich people live.” Duly noted, banker.
During the pain, Egypt noticed a large boulder in one of the yards and alerted the PAX, “Just want everyone to know that is Evelyn’s Rock. And she had a dog named Hector.” Well, ok then. From this day forward, the Windyrush hill shall be known as “Evelyn’s Hill.” If anyone objects, then take it up with Egypt who will be busy feeding Hector.
Mosey to Edenbridge Ln and hang a left. Despite lightning warnings from Marge (“probably should think about heading back”), we pressed onward. #heatlightning 10 Merkins at each street light on the right side. Mosey across Rea and congregate at the OPES big tree w/ benches, the perfect setting when lightning is in the area.
Mosey to the OPES black top. Line up abreast.
Mosey to back of OPES.
Mosey to Launch.
Done
MOLESKIN
It was an honor to lead this group of men today. YHC is a Hydra regular, but this was my Hydra VQ. It was all fun and games until we hit Evelyn’s Hill, which is a beast. Egypt crushed everyone (including Queen) on the hill emboldened by his astute observations of inanimate objects. Strong work by the entire PAX today. YHC was touched by Hannibal’s jet lagged participation. Welcome back, Slum Dog. Hope to see you posting regularly. Puddin’ Pop will be glad to know YHC had Summerlin suicides on deck time permitting. Next time, brother. Face your fear. Thanks for the great take-out today. It was so memorable that YHC has no idea who delivered it.
