Chilly Downtown Friday
QIC: Frostbite
Date: 6/17/2022
PAX: Starfish (WD), Lamb Chop, Post Hole, Schlitz, Transcript, Cheesesteak, Chick-Flick, Frostbite (QIC, WB)
The Dixons are known for their sweat. Some have seen @Starfish wrench out his shirt after a #beatdown and the amount of liquid could probably fill up a bucket. I sweat walking from my downtown apartment to my downtown office that are next door to each other. Like Father like Son.
This week has been brutally hot and humid. The type of weather that hits you before you even open your front door. That suffocates you when you are walking to your car. I thought we worked out early enough to avoid this? Not this week. I propose we follow @Spam’s new AO and starting a solid 15 minutes earlier. Yeah, I am sure that helps.
All that being said, YHC was pleasantly surprised after the bellhop at the Kimpton gently woke me up with first class service, as he does every morning (yeah I live in a nice place), that it wasn’t too hot out and there was a slight breeze as I walked down the hill to Bailey Park! It must have something to due with my F3 name.
YHC slowed down @Chick-Flick’s morning jaunt down the hill and we arrived to the AO and to the good lookin’ @Lamb Chop with a few minutes to spare. For a moment, there were only 3 Reynolds employees. We quickly discussed ditching and hitting the smoke rooms in our office instead. That’s our type of Coffeteria.
At last the other Pax showed up. The smoking would have to wait until our work day. It was time to do the opposite and get some solid work in.
Here is how it went:

TIME!
MC:
@Cheesesteak wanted to repeat all exercises when bypassing the corners in Thang #1. I vetoed that.
@Transcript got a lesson on why there are no flavors for vaping products from @Lamb Chop.
@Post Hole got a lesson on music from @Chick-Flick who went up to NYC for the music festival, Gov Ball, last weekend. @Post Hole now knows who Jack Harlow & Kid Cudi are.
All didn’t like how many dips there were during Thang #2 nor did they know what a Squatty Potty exercise was. Supposedly @Lamb Chop can’t sit down to s@%^ based on his form.
@Chick-Flick had a tough time with Thang #4 and knowing how many reps to do. We refrained from running around and jumping over the person since that is how @Dr. Toot got injured.
@Schlitz is only seen in Beer t-shirts. The name is fitting and good to see him out there since last week he couldn’t make it to UA due to “entertaining White Claw clients” at a Dash event the night prior. Must be a fun job…
@Starfish and YHC still sweated. Lots.
Announcements:
@Transcripts got the Q at the #LaunchPad next Monday. If you hurry, you can get your passport expedited to make it up there. There’s a rocket at the AO. He also has the Q at #BellsNWhistles
@BAM has the Q at #GreenNest tomorrow. Got the trucks but needs more crew. Great way to serve.
Prayer Requests:
Father’s Day on Sunday– and no I am not a Father (YHC accidentally thanked the good Lord for the Pax for making me a better Father).
Juneteenth celebrations this weekend.
Failed IVF treatments by @Lamb Chop’s friends. Praise for the success of @Lamb Chop’s IVF treatments!
Wisdom
It was a pleasure, gents!
