-If you worked out at The Charge on Wednesday and Joust today you may have noticed that the workouts were eerily similar. YHC Q’d both workouts, and since I wore the exact same shirt today [without being washed] I decided I’d rely on the same Weinke [for the most part]. Speaking of that shirt, I got a stern lecture from my wife when I returned home this morning. Something to the effect of me being disrespectful to my fellow workout brothers by brining a bad odor to the workout. I told her it’s all part of the F3 experience, and I that I usually deliver bad odors during the workout anway.
-Good to see Skywalker out in the gloom again. He looked handsome and healthy; well, at least healthy.
-Triple claps to our brother Freedom. The guy is a grinder… pushing himself to the limit wherever he goes. This week was Skunk Works, Death Valley and Joust… he ain’t scared.
-Mr. Brady showed up today wearing a jaunty little summer running cap, and I believe he wore it for the entire workout. I generally keep my stylish workout gear for the colder months, but Mr. B’s spring apparel looks to have a bit of flair to it.
-Stone Cold… I didn’t get a chance to mention it during the workout… but I’m going to have to throw a penalty flag on those shorts you wore today. Just a wee bit short. Good retro look though #NBA-1980s. Speaking of wardrobe… Downtown busted out the sleeveless shirt today… I may have seen some mid-workout Kaepernicking at one point. And now that I think of it… Lobster Roll had on a turtle neck [actually, a mock turtle]; not what I expected for our resident tough guy from South Boston, but it didn’t slow him down on the track.
-That’s it for now gents. Have a great weekend.

Wow, didn’t realize Joker was so keen on the F3 fashion statement #woolyvest At least you busted yourself before I could get to it #filthyshirt Just a idea, it’s easier to conceal the fact that you are wearing the same shirt if it’s not a white one. #duh I did like Mr. Brady’s lil boy cap and the mock turtle neck was interesting by Lobsta. All said and done, another solid betadown by Joker. Blue Rhino and YHC appreciated it the second time as well. Buttermaker’s smell covered Joker’s stink, just fyi. All good for a Fun Friday at Joust. Joker vs. Lobsta? #photofinish
“If you worked out at The Charge on Wednesday and Joust today you may have noticed that the workouts were eerily similar.”
Revise to, “If you worked out in [Area 51 the last 3 years], you may have noticed….”
I am willing to wager my next Duke solar subsidy check that +90% of Joker Qs have 10 pull ups, 20 merkins and 30 squats as the meat of the weinke. We just need to go ahead and put that in the Exicon now.
“Though workout today?”
“Yeah. Four Jokers on Grandma. Not pretty.”
