COT: Pony… thankful for encouragement, prayers to be God’s men in Winston Salem this week

NMM:

Toto was extended a personal invitation to attend the festivities.  YHC almost scrapped the entire morning plan, in favor of running to Toto’s house and performing entire workout in his front yard.  next time…..

Great to have JT2 from Gastonia and his energetic band of 2.0s with him.  Pepperoni, XWing and Bob the builder (ages 8, 10 and 11) hung in there !!!  Also good to have JT2’s future brother-in-law, now known as C-PAP, join us.

Especially enjoyed JK2s horrible jokes during Wall sit time.   What do you call a Deer with no eyes? (I have no eye deer) (say it like gomer pyle)

YHC extends kudos to Butter, who almost allowed the rain to scare him off.   Always amusing to have butter’s commentary during a beatdown.   Butter, father to only girls, was super encouraging to the Gastonia 2.0s.   As was Root Canal who challenged them all to an arm-circle-thon

YHC especially enjoyed performing Mutton Crunches with Mutton present.   Never done that before.

Apologies to Ziggy – we knocked his heart monitor off at some point during the beatdown… looking forward to hearing what impact an F3 beatdown has on results

No Butter, we didn’t perform Bog O’s during Mary.   This is a kids show.
