MOLESKIN:

 

Here’s a tip – don’t bet on billiards with anyone named after a state (Minnesota Jack, Arkansas Slim, the list goes on) or look for life-changing exercise instruction from someone who ate a pack of Nabs he found in his vehicle on the way to the workout.  That said, I noticed some guys really taking my swing instruction to heart this morning and I got a little teary eyed.  It could have just been catching a whiff of High Tides tank top (seriously, try some Tide), but I think it was a little bit more.  Header had out his preacher notebook and Bulldog was trying to figure out his Evernote password but couldn’t get Siri to understand the letter “R”.

 

Missing Turkey Leg this morning.  Probably posting Strava runs from the Shire again.  We await his return.  He still working on a autobiography novel about the incontinent jogger, “The Man with One Brown Sock”.  A screenplay starting Tom Hanks and Dabney Coleman is also in the works.

 

Voodoo was off searching for his true calling in life.  He was devastated last week upon learning that Elon Musk was not gas station cologne.  All of those quarters gone to waste.  He’s also trying to find out why his electric car only has a range of 3 miles.  Try the 600lbs of kettlebells in the passenger seat pal.

 

The general workout went a little like a Pandora station.  Keep skipping exercises until you have to listen to a commercial.  Hope you guys got your moneys worth.  It’s all optional, I suppose, but you’re not gonna look like this if you keep doing that.  #flex

 

Welcome Gaylord.  The Sorting Hat really flipped you a stinker with that name #notslytherin.  Glad you are still coming out.

 

Rumors of a Brown sighting.  Nowhere near a workout, mind you, but the man has been spotted.  Keep hope alive.

 

Ended the workout with a jewel from one of TRs series of “clean but weird” videos – the Viking Salute.  I received, in return, some various other salutes from the pax.  Smokey took a knee in protest and left his kneecap in the parking lot.

 

Finally, this morning marked the debut of my genius invention, the “Lockscreen Weinke“.   Save the weinke as a photo to the iPhone lockscreen and BAM – instant access during the workout.  Problem is, when you are playing the Alan Jackson Pandora Station, the controls cover up the text and it is rendered useless.  Oh well, back to the drawer.  It did serve to remind me though, that you need to be prepared for when life throws you a curveball.  Train to handle the unexpected.  Don’t get shaken up when something goes awry – it will happen.

 

 

 

All I can remember from this AM . . .

 

Probably some announcements too.  Contact Bulldog via his America Online email address for these.

Great lead and backblast, Horsehead. I’m sorry I missed it. I’m over in the UK searching for that elusive Elon Musk…

Voodoo – you missed The Secret (or key) that the Swing is the foundation of…the Swing. And of most other KB movements, but especially of the swing.
KB Class 099 is on tap next time HH is on Q.
