F3WS 9 YR (actual) Anniversary

F3WS 9 YR (actual) Anniversary

QIC: Frostbite

Date: 01/04/2023

PAX: Starfish, Mutton, Singing Cowboy, Adobe, Atrophy, Turnover, Crash, Cruiser, Transcript, Ziggy Stardust, BAM, Dr. Toot, Rubber Ducky, Drip, Spicoli, Palin, Lamb Chop, Cheesesteak, Greenspan, Hansel, Cherry Pie, Frostbite (QIC, WB)

I originally signed up to Q this workout because it was my first as Site Q at #Conspiracy after taking the reigns from @Lamb Chop.  Little did I know or remember that this also happened to be the actual anniversary of F3WS.  That means F3WS started 9 years ago on this day.  The idea was born to celebrate not only me taking the Site Q but also celebrate F3WS.

The only differences were: Today is Wednesday and 9 years ago it was Saturday.  Today was 60 degrees, 9 years ago it was 18 degrees.  Today was balmy and wet, and 9 years ago it was dry as can be. I am married now, and this time last year I still had to ask the old man to hang out with anyone, really… let alone a female counterpart.

All that being said, I decided to make a show of it and invite all Wednesday workouts to the most premiere one of them all to converge in celebration of F3WS. My new shovel flag was planted (I am making it a goal to bring this back to AOs) and we got to work.

First order of business:

Me: “WHO ALL IS A REDWOOD” (was at the first workout, 9 years ago) expecting lots of hands to shoot up…

Announcements:

F3WS Convergence at #ImpossibleSituation this Saturday for the (observed) F3WS anniversary. @Burns, @60 minutes and @Undertow with the Q.

Prayers:

Public school is back in session.  Prayers for kiddos getting back into the swing of things.

YHC took us out.

NMM:

@Palin provided the protection for my speaker in case of rain. It’s important to use protection!

@Turnover showed up? Think we were all surprised.  Must be the warm weather. Or that the Resolutioners are filling up his space at Planet Fitness

@Cherry Pie was disappointed with the amount of arm swirly things.  Hopefully there was no lolly gagging!

@Rubber Ducky was calling for @Van Gogh’s head after VG gave him S$%@ at Parliament.  @VG did not show up, though.

@QIC blanked on the 5 core principles.  I got #5, #3, #2 before throwing in the towel.  The MC got to me.  I also forgot the Shovel flag at the AO.  Thanks @Crash for picking it up.

@BAM did not just show up for #Coffeeteria this time.

Many were trying to figure out the theme to the music this morning.  With “Drunk in Love” and “All about the Bass” being the first two songs, @Lamb Chop guessed it was powerful women singers. I led him to the water.  It was not until a Coldplay song came on that @Starfish guessed it was Hits of 2014. Correct! Who would have guessed that @Starfish could figure out a music theme?

@Atrophy was impressed there was music in the first place. “Wow! Like Bells and Whistles!” Yes yes, other workouts can have music…

@Starfish gets credit where credit is due. Brought me out 9 years ago when I was just a boy.  Granted he didn’t provide warm clothing for his son on the 18 degree day.  My body was cold in shorts and a t-shirt.  And that is how I got my name.

It was an honor to lead you all this morning. Thankful for F3 and each of you guys.

Aye!
