Maybe You Should Get That Looked at Skin:

• Happy stepped up with a solid VQ.  Many of you know him from the F3 Golf Tournaments as the AR-15 golf gun guy.  Well, he liked what he saw (except when OBT shot the rifle cross chickenwing style) and has been an Outland regular for the past few months.  He has also been posting at the Maul, Peak 51, and I think some other sites.  TClaps for stepping up.

• Still undecided on what to do for the 2nd half, my 2.0 Boondock had the idea of the snow sleds.  He threw them in the truck and said “this is happening”, so I felt I had to roll with it.  In all, I think it was a good call, although TLS offered him $20 to throw them away.

• Another set of TClaps to the 2.0s for saving the Pax from a nasty giant wasp nest on the backside of the tall obstacle course wall.  I called a trip through since Donkey Kong was about to gnaw through his bit, but the kiddos jumped in front and frantically waved us off.  Shoeless Joe showed me a giant nest with probably 50 wasps on it right on the part of the tallest wall where you put your hand as you are making the move over that would have been all up in our business.  Whew.

• Good to have Salt Lick back out with the pax.  He pushed it hard, and always brings some good energy to the workouts – especially when he has the Special Sauce (2.0) with him.
• The man, the myth, the mystery, the Donkey Kong.  Someone told me today that “he is built for the woods”.  I think that is a fair description.  He smoked everyone on the sledburners (well maybe not the 2.0s, but they are trash talking little buzzards).   However, the memorable item from this AM was when he found a small clip on necktie and proceeded to wear it for much of the workout.  He claims to have left it onsite, but we are not sure if he kept it or not.  #hekeptit

• Didn’t make a big deal, because I didn’t want to get all emotional like Radar and Chelms on L28 of the BRR, but this week is my 2 year anniversary of F3.  Outland is where I got started.   I remember my first workout where i hid behind the bleachers to dry heave hoping nobody would remember that I was there.  Good times.  2 years in, and glad to share the experience with someone leading their 1st workout.
