COT w/nice takeout prayer by Rock Thrill

Ye Olde Moleskine:

Thanks to TR & Snowflake for loaning YHC the above-mentioned plates.  They were well-received by the pax….not really.  3 or 4 of the pax experienced hairburners for the first time.  Perhaps a bit easier going uphill.  The inchworms, however, were not.  #unsavory

Great to have an FNG post – Saranac (Brad S).  We named him Cosmo initially, but exercising Workout Q privilege – renamed him Saranac (which was a name thrown out during name-o-rama).  Hope you’ll keep coming out.  Can’t remember your age from COT, but you may have wrested Area51’s War Baby title from Dear Abby?

Not sure who was War Daddy?  Snowflake or Checkpoint – both are 53ish.  Kudos to RipCurl who also is worthy of respect.

Some things of note from this morning’s edition of Centurion:

1.  T-claps to Scabby, Margo & Dear Abby for running into the workout.  Did I get that right?

2. Steinbrenner pulled a Costanza and hid under his desk when it was his turn for the bearcrawl up the hill.  Rename?  Please submit suggestions in Comments below!  He was hurting as evidenced by his spilling merlot after the COT ended.  Even asked Hannibal to drive his car home.  Hannibal could be heard muttering something to the effect that he was glad he didn’t drive his car.

3.  T-claps to Checkpoint who EH’d 3 FNGs this week!

4. Thought the pax did well this morning.  YHC took a beating (crushed my thumb getting the plates out of the car, bashed my shin on the jump ups #didnotstickthelanding, and pulled my calf early on) but it was well worth it!

5. Also – Praise God and congratulations to Dumpster Fire and M. Dumpster Fire who found out they will be having a little girl (their 1st child) in 20 weeks!
