MOLESKINE

Days and days of rain.  But the funny thing is that it isn’t difficult to avoid the rain and four PAX saw that on Friday.  YHC was confident that for the third week in a row, it would be dryish at the bar and it continues to be a great place to avoid the downpours while getting a little extra rest.  If it had been pouring, weinke out the window.

It was a great morning for good conversation and chatter.  The weinke was partially derived from the M’s old early 90s Firm videos, just lacking the leotards, legwarmers and odd naked-dude statues.  (Does that inspire women to work more?)  The leg lifts in the Webb paid homage to the new Barre studio in Marvin.  The long repetition of bricks as weights makes those light weights tough and provides some functional strength with some of the odd exercises.  And the runner-as-timer allowed for chatter without having to remember your count.  YHC loses track in the counting too often and would rather not have to do keep a tally of anything before 9 AM.

Honeycomb was the first PAX to show this morning and has excellent brick selection skills.  One Star never fails to bring laughs to the game and we wish him luck in his weekend role as Volleyball Dad.  Posse is not an offical Truebador AFAyhcK, but he has a story about someone from every region and brings a good mix of conversation to each workout.

YHC may have disappointed the crew with no pickle pounders, but they were on the weinke and may see some action Tuesday at Bushwood.  Also, no drinks from this teetotaler, but there was plenty of rosehip oil afterwards.
