Barrel strength proof at The Distillery

QIC: BAM

Date: 02/11/2021

PAX: Fender (WB), 60 Minutes, Schneider, Spicoli, BAM (WD)

YHC was excited for an adventure out west to visit and Q the esteemed AO known as The Distillery.  Plans were made, alarm set, checked with the locals what the correct time zone is, and off we went!

Scouting out the AO thanks to eye in the sky global mapping conglomerates along with some messages to current and former site Q’s gave YHC a good sense of what was possible.  Rumors about the fitness and toughness of our #WeFoCo brethren are well known, so needed something sufficient.

When arriving, there was just Schneider sleeping in his truck.  YHC thought maybe they are a late arriving crowd like many of our eastern pax.  0528, 0529…. WAIT, we have a Fender sighting!  3, we can have fun with three.  Still, thought a little odd site Q wasn’t there to welcome me.  Cranked up the music and got started.

0532 is when 60 Minutes and Spicoli rolled up.  Site Q packed a coupon to be helpful and Spicoli was just running on Spicoli time.  Feeling like 5 was our final and quality group, we finished up the warm-o-rama and got on with it!

NMM

  • Spicoli takes a minute to warm up.  Would have been helpful to know before he was first to do burpees on the death march and pax were about a 1/4 mile away before he caught up
  • This beatdown was heavier on each pax having to count than YHC prefers, tends to diminish MC, but tunes helped fill in the void
  • Tom Sawyer was on the playlist and Schneider and Spicoli wished Schultzie was there to hear it
  • For Charles Bronson, when pax, ok Fender or 60 Minutes, got back to start before others, they had to create their own active recovery exercise.  For some weird reason, Fender chose burpees.  Both impressive, but might have caught up to him by the end
  • The simplicity and monotony of the exercises seemed sufficient
  • Coupons were returned, no booze was found

Prayers

  • Cousin of Schneider had a baby boy, but experienced complications during delivery.  Will learn more today what brain damage was done to baby.
  • Spicoli’s dad and friend
  • Singing Cowboy – in WV today for mother-in-law funeral
