Haven’t we seen this before?

Haven’t we seen this before?

QIC: Circuit City

Pax: War Eagle, Twister, Teddy, Taco Stand, Swine Flu, Hops, Cooter2, Commish, Cable Guy (R), and FNG “Bag Man”

Late last night, YHC was struck with the overwhelming …. “I haven’t Q’ed in a while, so I should use the same weinke from last time” syndrome.  So, with YHC equipped with an old recycled weinke, 11 PAX rolled out to the much darker parking lot of the Regal Theater.  The parking lot lights being off to potentially save money were perhaps a subtle reminder of the hardships many companies are facing, or a symbol of the darkness that a great group of men like F3 can help cast out in our community …. hmmm, deep thoughts.  A complete, yet choppy disclaimer was shared with a reminder to be “Covid-safe” and off we went.

Thang

Mosey across Rea Road towards the Piper Glen Cleaners, Hilton, and Residence Inn cul-de-sac.  Speaking of Cul-De-Sac, where was he?  Stopped along the way for some COP.

COP

SSH x 15 …..  Sprinklers x 15 (more “stretchy” than IW) …. The Merkin x10 …. Mountain Climber x 10 …..  Plank for ~30 sec …..  Little baby arm circles x 10 – both directions (good for YHC’s temperamental shoulders)

Cul-de-sac circuit:

Station #1 (Hilton):   15 Merkins

Station #2 (PG Cleaners): 20 Monkey Humpers

Station #3 (Residence Inn): 25 LBCs

Move clockwise thru each station.  Return to center (Home Base) after each station for 5 Burpees OYO. Repeato (not called originally).  Taco Stand was looking out for the people by instituting some Mary to wait for the 6 after Round 1, but YHC regrettably overrode with a call for a 2nd round.

Mosey back across Rea Road and waited for the with some patriotic American Hammer.  Shifted gears to a AYG to the front of Firebirds.  Taco, Teddy, and War Eagle with the Win/Place/Show.  YHC normally doesn’t eat much before posting other than a few ounces of coffee and a bite or two of a bar.  Was way too aggressive with a higher volume breakfast/coffee intake this morning that got a little “sloshy” on the AYG.  Went into a “Merlot spill avoidance mode” for the next minute or so.

Firebird Fun

Round #1: Group 1 runs forward to the main median then backwards, while Group 2 does 15 Dips, 15 Derkins, and 15 LBCs. Flapjack

Round #2: Same run for Group 1 but Group 2 does 15 step up each leg and American Hammer until the group returns.  Flapjack.

Same 2 groups for two rounds of people’s chair variations with called exercise at the BOA ATM for the other group.  Threw in some air presses to not leave the shoulders out of the fun on the 2nd round. A quick bear crawl and crab walk combo to finish up.

Final suckage: Run the last couple hundred yards backwards to launch. Hops and Teddy with a strong push here.

COT

Moleskin

Awesome to be back out in the gloom at one of YHC’s favorite AOs.  Great to be in the trenches again with War Eagle, Cooter, Commish, Teddy (hope your back is improving), Swine Flu, and Taco Stand.  Fist bump to Hops for venturing more than a couple blocks to post at RY.  Appreciate your spiritual influence/leadership you have/had on many of us.  My 1st time posting with Twister and Cable Guy.  I heard Twister was an FNG last week and has posted 7 of the last 9 days.  NICE!  Kudos to Cable Guy for bringing out an FNG.  With that ….. welcome “Bagman”!

  • Prayers to Kirby’s father in South Carolina, who is going through a difficult and serious medical event.  Also, prayers for Kirby to help him stay strong through this challenging situation. 
  • Social get-together happening on June 13th at Taco Stand’s cul-de-sac.  Starts at 4pm and BYOB.  Think tailgating, social but not emotional distancing, and some great fellowship.  Check Slack for me details.
  • Swine Flu needs Q’s for the next few weeks.  Shoot him a note on Slack and take the lead. I’m sensing most Site Qs need us to step and lead right now. Get yourself on the Q calendar somewhere.

*** Also, to the title of this – “Haven’t we seen this before”. YHC feels this is particularly relevant given what we have seen in our great country over the past week or so. It’s not my style to pontificate on such topics, so I hope and pray that we all, as followers of Jesus, are positioned to respond and take action in a loving and restorative way.

I liked the sprinkers, methinks they are more effective than IW’s – and the form was not nearly as atrocious. The arm circles are sneaky painful, too…will incorporate both soon, which is to say Saturday.
Lots of humpers. Lots of humpers.
Some other sundry observations:
* Great to see Cable Guy again…hadn’t seen him in forever.
* Full disclosure: I probably live closer to RY than many of the pax that posted; Pretty much equidistant from many SOB, A51 & Metro AO’s — one of the reasons I like to mix it up, though not the main one.
* Taco Stand was getting after it on the runs #wheels
* Circuit City, in true humble Heartland fashion, neglected to mention he was in front of both YHC & Theodore on the long backwards run to finish
* T-claps to Twister, indeed! Great work, brother.

For those of you who are interested – there’s a story (parable) in the Bible known as the “Good Samaritan”. Many of you may know this dude named Jesus of Nazareth told the tale. What some may not know is the context of why he told it. Because so some so-called religious expert was trying to wiggle out of this idea of loving your neighbor. So I would encourage you men: 1. Read that tale (link here: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+10&version=NLT – verses 25-37 and 2. Ask yourself: “Who is your neighbor?”

Great Q Circuit City. Good to be with you men in the gloom again. Aye?!
