The Importance of Proofreading Remembered!

The Importance of Proofreading Remembered!

QIC: Goofy

Date: 08/26/2021

PAX: Ziggy, Starfish, BAM, Argyle, Mongoose, Boomerang, Giles, Wobegon, Green Acres, Goofy

10 Pax posted to #TRQ, for a Goofy cardboard work out. Due to an error in proofreading all were spared about 18 burpees, among other exercises.

Warm-o-Rama – the usual fare for Goofy, but we did it traveling style and moseyed about 20 yards between exercises.

The Thang

• YHC attempted to pull off an old fav called Plan 9 from Outer Space.
• It is meant to be 9 exercises (see below) done in increasing multiples of 9.  The first round you complete all 9, including a short run. The second round, you drop off the last one and complete the first 8 exercises, including a run.  And so on.
• Due to a proofreading error (note the pattern is broken – 54 squat and 63 LBC’s are missing), the cardboard read as follows:
  • 9 Burpees
  • 18 SSH
  • 27 Merkins
  • 36 Low Flutter
  • 45 Plank Jacks
  • 72 Jack Reachers
• We finished early, so YHC had to find some time wasters, and did the following:
  • Mosey to parking lot.  Line up on one side of lot, do 10 merkins, bear crawl to middle of lot, do 10 diamond merkins, bear crawl to end of lot, do 10 wide merkins, and then reapeato on way back.   (Groans of too many merkins!)
  • Make our way back to beginning by doing some Lt Dan’s (or something similar). Two walking lunges, Two squats, followed by four lunges, four squats.  Increasing by two each time.

Mary – we did round robin until…

FIN

BOM – YHC took us out, noting the prayer concerns below

Announcements/Prayer concerns

• Shmedfest is this weekend.  Lots of festivities, including beat downs offered over the next 24 hours.  An organized 5k run at 8am Saturday and a huge party at 4PM.
• Green Nest will be just the 3rd week of September next month
• Prayers for
  • @Starfish’s mom as she transitions to memory care at Arbor Acres
  • @Boomerang’s family with the loss of his sister. His mother has dementia and it has been tough on her.
  • YHC’s wife has some back issues
  • @Giles’ wife and her chemo treatments
  • A friend of @GreenAcres’ Sally was recently diagnosed with cancer.

NMM

• As mentioned in the COT, my freshman year in college, I had an English professor speak to me after class and say “Alan, no matter what you choose to do, please make sure someone proofreads your work”.   Missing exercises 54 and 63 are proof that it is still true!
• Of course, @Starfish and @BAM were quick to point out that YHC should have had my “driver” write the workout for me!  (That is an old school @F3WS joke!)
• In the end, I think the Pax were glad that I missed those – as it meant less burpees!
• Always great to be with each of you.
• Tclaps to @Whirly for asking me to sub Q for him as he has some knee issues.  Tclaps also to @Boom for the keys to TRQ
