15 (you know who you are) escaped the comfort of their cool and crisp homes for the warm, moist blanket known as Hawksnest. It was a special morning.
Disclaimed to the best of my abilities.
Jogged down to the track for a quick warm up on IW’s, LSQ’s and MC’s.
The Thing
Parter up starting on the track on about the 50 yard line. Partner 1 runs one way around track and up the path to the field house. Partner 2 the opposite. Combined 50 merkins at the top. Meet back at bottom for combined 50 dips. 3 sets of this.
Mosey to soccer fields for 4 corners of stomache’ work x 2. ‘We’ did flutters, dolly, rosalitas, backscratchers and H2H. If you did them right you did 90 of each except for H2H where you did 120 reps.
Mosey down hill towards parking lot stopping short for 7’s. Merkins and Jump Squats
Finished with a couple extra credit Mary reps while we didn’t wait on FT guys.
Close to 3 miles by my watch.

What a beautiful morning. 76 degrees. High humidity. Glorious. Expected a cast of characters and they didn’t disappoint. What started out very cordial pretty much stayed that way throughout minus a few outbursts. Gloss began with apologizing for coming in hot as he wasn’t satisfied with his poop this morning. Too much cheese yesterday. Chelms graced us with his presence so obviously I had to ask him his thoughts on Epstein. Before he could say a word, Gloss makes the outstanding observation that if there is one thing that Republicans and Democrats can finally agree on it’s that Epstein didn’t commit suicide and that the FBI will not get to the bottom of it, ever.
Enough of the politikin.
#SpackledPuddinGloss was in full effect today with one of the triplets at the helm. None of the 3 disappointed with their lackluster performance. What wasn’t lackluster was Beto’s (aka Deep Dish’s), adherence to commands. He lives by the saying, “if ya ain’t trying yer cheating” which goes against everything in the Trifusenik Guide to Life Success – pg 2 halfway down.
Good to see Motorboat continue to fall for Gloss’s tricks as he carpooled yet again to HN. You should have seen those sweaty messes squeeze into Gloss tiny Acura after the workout. Can only imagine the fromunda that radiates from the interior. And if Motorboat doesn’t start shaking his head and making the motorboat noise soon during name-o-rama I’m calling for a name change.
Jet Fuel is back from the Japanese Youth World Cup of Baseball held in Houma, Louisiana of all places. His son and their team, The South Park Indians, won the whole damn thing. JF’s son was named MVP.
Pop Tart shared his disappointment that today wasn’t easy. No, no it wasn’t. But you could have made it so. The group isn’t closed – #SpackledPuddinGlossPopTart.
Whoever the hero from FT was that bum rushed the circle during announcements. Kudos to you kid. Way to finish strong.
Announcements
Check Slack or the The Twitter for Labor Day convergence stuff. I just heard it was in Egypt and toned it out.
Sat 8am – Chelms and Barracuda will be on WFNZ radio talking about how to “Put Tools in Schools”. Or something to that matter.
Aug 30th – Sandbox – Concord Prom event – need volunteers to push kids in wheelchairs down the red carpet. Check Slack

Good material – you had plenty of energy given you did about half of what you called. Hops told me half is 50% more than what you normally do (or 33.33% for the USC grads/attendess – not sure which you are).
Would love for guys to step up and be willing to share a skill a few times a year at one of our schools. Car repair, bike repair, carpentry, cooking or whatever. Share your passion with kids who need new perspectives. The show is on 610am or 102.5FM Saturday starting at 8am. Each AO can listen as a group during coffeeteria.

Depending on your point of view, the trifusenik’s are either brazen or lazin’. Leprechaun said he didn’t sweat as much as normal….claims it’s because he’s been logging some mileage in prep for his Hood to Coast relay race in Oregon at the end of the month. I was thankful for less sweat as we clowncar’d from the ‘hood.
Deep Dish (don’t understand the Beto reference) complimented YHC’s form during the 7’s….while walking. #brazen
I was alarmed when Jet Fuel joined the mustering pax with shirt untucked. Thankfully, order was restored when he rectified prior to launch. #allisrightinthegloom
Job was out front all morning, and claimed, in the presence of his dad Astro afterwards, that he almost spilled merlot during the 7’s.
Good Q Spackler – and the extra emphasis is on the Mary on the turf was good.
Thin Mint on Q at the Nest next week. It won’t be pleasant.
Fact: South Park Scorpions 12U All Star team won the Dixie Youth Majors World Series World Series last week in Ruston, LA.
Fiction: My 2.0 was the MVP.
Fact: The average daily humidity in Ruston for August is 1,378%.
Fiction: The boys beat Japan for the title. It was Florida, actually, by a score of 5-0.
Fact: Only 4 teams from North Carolina have won this tournament since its 1956 founding.
Me tucking in the workout shirt is akin to Lincoln Hawk turning his hat backwards prior to a critical arm wrestling match in “Over the Top.” Puddin’ Pop will get this reference.
Great Q, Spack. That last hill climb during 7’s almost eradicated my will to live.
