As creative as we are at Skunk Works, every now and then, we’ll have to recycle and bring back on of our ol favorites, The Ciabatta with dumbbells.  A crowd pleaser for sure!  Good work, fellas, on sticking with this one…it’s a tough one.

Our resident strong man, Run Stopper, post with no weights so he got the honors of being left with 20 lbers.  Strong brother!

Fire ant attack once again!  Can’t seem to stay away from “their hill.”

Always great to see what the brotherhood brings to the dumbbell workout…the M’s Jane Fonda weights are popular for some.  No gallon bleach jugs today though.

Good to see ya Sparky!  Also Ocho Cinco durng the week, very nice.

Something tells me you will not want to miss next week at Skunk Works.  Tiger Rag has somethng special in store for 9-11, AYE!

Devil’s Turn this week, bring a head lamp, we’re going trailblazing in the woods.

Charlotte South convergence at the launch of THE ROCK this coming Sat., Sept 8 at Calvary Church (corner of Rea Rd and Hw 51).  Come on out and bring a friend.

Also, Oct 6th starting at 4pm at The Shore’s house is a F3 Area 51 family social event.  Plan on being there, bring the M and kids.

  • Much weeping and gnashing of teeth during the Ark Loader.  Certainly not in YHC’s wheelhouse and in keeping with the Ark theme, many Larry Birds.  Too many for proper attribution, but Donkey Kong, Joker, McGee and Ocho Cinco were always setting the pace.
  • It’s the eponymy, stupid:  Cottontail decimates the Pax during the bunny hop.
  • T-claps to FNG Punky Brewster (fka Steve Butkovich, Floppy Disk’s bro-in-law) for posting.  Wednesday he was just minding his own business, Thursday he got EHed for the Spartan Sprint, and today he posted at Area 51.  #Strong.
  • The Pax fka The Oracle (with some sort of Nebraska pedigree) was renamed Bugeater today after YHC read this article on the origin of football team nicknames (LINK HERE).
  • Joker managed to smoke himself so bad today that not only did he drag the shovel flag (sentence: 25 merkins), but he couldn’t find his car in a half-empty parking lot.
  • F3/Ultimate tomorrow (09-02-12), 2:30 to 400-ish.  All skill levels welcome: 2nd F focus.  Pre-Blast and more info HERE.
  • Latta Convergence on Labor Day, 0700 to 0800 (check Find a Workout section of website for directions).  Word has it that you want to bring gloves.  Our adopted Pax McGee is bringing the pain…
  • NEXT WEEK, 09-08-12:  Charlotte South convergence at “The Rock” at Calvary (No Area 51 workout next week).  Meet at the playground and keep eyes open for the Pre-Blast coming this week.
