Moleskine:

It isn’t easy to come up with a workout that satisfies the level of pain we’ve come to expect at Skunk Works, without all the running and comments of “I didn’t think this was fast twitch.”  So YHC planned no running and thankfully the cold air held off this morning so we didn’t need it.

So those tires are heavy.  YHC got the idea with some left over swing set chain and rope I used to make jump ropes for kids.  The rope label said “do not use for repelling, or tying down heavy objects. Failure to follow instructions could result in injury or death.”  Warnings?  Warnings are for other people.  Let’s go with it. We dragged them about 10 yards out and back but it felt a lot farther.  Good work by the PAX, it wasn’t easy.  Everyone got through 2 rounds of drags and a round of flips.  As you can see from the photo- the ropes didn’t fair so well.  I’ll have to upgrade next time.

It was good to see Joker out there.  A long hiatus from Skunk Works.  He mentioned what YHC thinks everyone else was feeling:  Where were the 10 counts?  Sorry, no time for those today.
