YHC arrived at BLP just after 0500. PAX began showing up around 0515 and when all was said and done 19 men with no pressure or obligation chose to follow my first lead in the gloom. Humbled by the turnout and support.

Disclaimer probably not needed but issued anyway.

No FNGs

Warm Up

Smurf Jacks x 12 (Small Aside here.. I wanted to begin with Smurf Jacks to honor Papa Smurf. It amazes me that a man I’ve never met continues to be a silent inspiration to me because of how often others speak so highly of him) RESPECT!

Monkey Humpers x 12 (An immediate pivot away from honor and reverence to an exercise named for fornicating primates. I love F3)

I am surprised it took this long but things finally went off the rails here…

Not sure who called for Bear Crawls to the light pole but we all complied with varying levels of enthusiasm.

Not to be outdone Grammar calls for Boo Boo Bear Crawls back – Lots of Mumble Chatter and some interesting expressions of that maneuver…

We were tight on time but I wanted to borrow Matlock’s “Have a nice day” to end and reflect on how fortunate we all are to be healthy enough to come out bear crawl around the park in the gloom. This isn’t an option for so many, we are all blessed. PAX could also spend a quick minute on their six while I went for my phone.

CoT / BoM  / Prayers

Prayers for unspoken requests and that each of us be ready and willing when called to serve.

• Today gave YHC a whole new appreciation for the guys that consistently turn in great Qs. It takes extra commitment, time and effort so thanks to all of you who bring it often.
• PAX was very supportive today, THANK YOU.
• As it turns out my Ms whip was perhaps the most fatigued by the fake news station. 10 minutes of headlight use to set up and it was smoked. Thanks to Grady, Cold-Cut and Shrimp for lending a hand. The car is fine now but will be forced to tow heavy coupons until it gets in better shape.
• Perhaps my favorite nugget of the day…          NO BURPEES!     #WIN

(Mic Drop) – Thunderbird Out.
