10 vets shook off the fartsack for a little fun at Arise.  Who doesn’t like spring time temps in late November?

Moleskin:

  • Thanks to Magic for giving YHC the opportunity to Q.  YHC was an Arise virgin.
  • Great to see Nancy out there.  Dude is a stud, pushing through the pain.  Sidenote:  YHC figures I can say nice things about Nancy here since he won’t ever read this backblast.
  • Slum Lord…my man wore a weight vest.  Really enough said there.  Next time I’m being mugged in a back alley (less frequent as I’ve really toned down the clubbing of late), YHC is calling this guy.
  • Cavity killed this workout.  YHC thought it might be a good one; however, Cavity looked like he was sipping a latte while reading the newspaper and doing one handed burpees.  You should have been there.  Epic stuff.
  • My partner Hackman also killed it today.  My partner was better than your partner.  Just saying.
  • Lynda and Cornhole were chatty cathys this morning.  YHC felt like it was good bonding time for them.  Who knew you could carry on eloquent conversation while doing jump squats?
  • Don’t Cha Know took the title of War Daddy this morning and he made all those young bucks look like they were running in sand.  53 is the new 33.
  • Amphibious sort of complimented YHC on his Carolina Dry Dock form this morning.  The sweat on YHC’s face was actually tears of joy #makedaddyproud.  Seriously, this guy’s spirit is infectious.  Never seen anybody so damn happy at 530 AM, but YHC is glad he chose Arise this morning.
  • Final shoutout to War Eagle.  He didn’t post because he was busy working his tail off cooking breakfast for all of the folks coming to Grace this morning.  #HIM

Announcements

  • Raising money for Judy’s Chair next Wednesday at Gate City Growlers.  Come drink a frosty beverage with your brothers and raise some money for a great cause.
  • F3 Prom, Dec 10.  Sign up now.  JLove rumored to still be looking for a date.
  • Need pax to support meals for the WE Shelter.  More details to come.

Slum Lord took us out.

And then we put up some tables and chairs in a record 4:07.  Look, YHC knows life is busy.  But you can make a difference every Tuesday in 4-5 minutes.  Great service opportunity.

Always an honor,

Beaver
