Workout is complete!

Moleskin:

Here are a few observations from the workout. I felt like I was at a F3 Shareholders meeting this morning when Hops and Gummy rolled up. I hope the audit they send back to Mermaid at headquarters has glowing reviews. Spackler showed up very spry this morning, either the Dryuary is started to pay dividends or it is the fact that his house has no heat and the temps stayed above freezing last night. He obviously got in a full 8 hours of shut eye. It was good to see Gloss decked out in his moisture wicking, Goodwill performance gear. I have heard multiple Wall Street analysts say this line of athletic gear is going to eclipse LuLu and Athletica in the coming fiscal year. The one caveat on the segment is they are targeting 35 something’s that are big-boned and mildly athletic, who like shirts that inch up over the mid rift. Gloss is a perfect customer for this apparel. Jet Fuel was still a little hung over from the National Championship game. I did see that Santa brought him some sleeves for his workout shirts. Special thanks to Hairball for grabbing the cannon shaft and putting the PAX out of it’s misery on the cannon run. I am not going to mention the after workout conversation that Gummy had about Hairball’s reach and his form during this drill.  Puddin’s bowels of doom didn’t explode this morning, the entire PAX was much appreciative. Champagne was a solid Partner for the workout, he had multiple opportunities to call me out for being the Six for the entire workout and he remained mum. I appreciate it brother!

There is always a solid group of guys that show up to Hydra. Thanks to Gloss for the take-out!
