Time to get back into the world of the Site Qs.  I believe this is my 3rd round of playing Site Q over the nearly 7 years (this month) I have been doing F3.  It’s easy to slip through the cracks and fartsack if you don’t have a little responsibility in my world, so hopefully this will make us all a little better.  TClaps to Skunkwork OG Stone Cold for spurring this on.

Area51 Site Qs when I started F3 in September 2013 (from the welcome e-mail from Countertop):

Look at the names.  Recognize some?    Gotta stay involved to keep getting up at 4:45AM.

Speaking of involved, Smokey and Stone Cold have some sort of Ultimate Frisbee Field of Dreams thing going on.  All I hear about are constant injuries and hurt feelings, but the lure of the outstretched one-handed grab outweighs a mouth full of turf dingleberries.

Mountain Momma (Mama?  Mamma?) has his M chauffeur him personally to the workouts.  Apparently they are both crushing it at 5:30 AM each morning.  I hope they didn’t nickname her Mountain Daddy, because that’s not right.   That’s something we would do.  Women are nicer to each other (in person at least).  Could you imagine if a group of women made fun of each other like we do at our workouts?  “Hey Sparkles, is that a medium shirt?”  I don’t see that lasting very long.

Tulip and Funky Cold were both surprisingly present.  I thought they would enjoy the newfound freedom and join the other 76 people not exercising in the Olde Sycamore Teeter parking lot, but I underestimated them.

Here’s to pretending it’s fall already.  Snuggies and Punkin Spice for everyone.  It’ll be 98 next week, which will feel like 118.  Enjoy it while it lasts.

HH
