Chaperoning Court
QIC: Frostbite
Date: 8/20/2024
PAX: @Draftee, @Sour Mash, @Sassy, @Adobe, @The Singing Cowboy, @Nelly, @Cruiser, @Dolly (WB), @Tonka, @Schneider, @60 Minutes, @SeaMan, @Subfloor, @Ludikrous, @Greenspan, @Bruin (WD), @Wahoo, @Drip (DR OH), @Three Rivers (Former FNG Zach, DR Pittsburgh), @Giles, @SuperFly, @Ziggy Stardust, @Boomerang, @Frostbite (QiC)
YHC held court for the first time at #Parliament this morning and many a people joined in on the fun!
@Wobegon put out a call to all #DashPAX for his Q at #Flatline specifically tagging some fellow #HIMs so YHC tried his best at marketing and copied him in the pre-blasts tagging some ever faithful #WeFeCo-ans urging them to attend so YHC would at least compete with the former Nantan. #Flatline is one of the best and a favorite of mine so I would completely understand if YHC sadclowned his way out west.
I am not sure how much @Adobe paid everyone to attend, but 23 strong dudes showed up for my first-time at the premier Tuesday non-running #AO. Maybe it was the low 60s weather?
Unfortunately, @Starfish could not attend to watch his 2.0 with pride, but plenty of guys looked out, guided, chirped, and hopefully enjoyed the beatdown.
Having never Q’d here before, and only have visited a handful of times, YHC prepared a workout that would be easy to execute and would require not much thought or counting by #PAX. YHC enjoys the MC at most workouts nowadays, so it was imperative that I would allow #PAX to conversate. YHC is also on the heels of an awesome trip up to WV for the Ragnar Relay Race where we ran some, but the 2nd F was even better. We were serenaded by @TSC so I wanted to incorporate some music that YHC either heard on that trip or made me think of sitting by a campfire with friends.
As cars kept multiplying and what seemed like clown-cars galore, YHC started to get nervous that we would have the space and coupons for the beatdown that I had originally planned. The #PAX just kept coming and coming (that’s what she says!) @Adobe saw the look of fear in my eyes but assured me we would be okay.
The workout went something like this:
Warmarama:
SSH – 20 x IC
IST – 15 x IC
Copperhead Squats – 10 x IC
Whirley Got the Calp – 10 x IC
Abe Vigoda – 6 x IC
Arm Swirlys F – 6 x IC
Arm Swirlys B – 6 x IC
OH Claps – 6 x IC
Seal Claps – 6 x IC
Moroccan Night Clubs – 10 x IC
#Pax were instructed to walk over and grab a coupon of their choosing. Bricks, small cinder blocks, regular cinder blocks, limbs, anything with some weight to it. Some #PAX chose to go to their cars and retrieve their #KBs. You v You!

By the time we put the blocks up and got back to launch, it was time! No dedicated time for Mary but plenty of core was worked throughout the workout!
NMM:
Once again. 24 dudes showed up. Just a sign of how strong the Site Q is @Adobe. Great work, man! That Shovel Flag is in amazing hands. #HIM
@TSC brought all leftover gear from Ragnar from his lovely abode up in WV. Auction starts on Thursday and bidding starts at a nickel.
@Sour Mash and @Draftee had to scramble out a little early. Maybe the music offended them, but they got some strong work in before having to get the kiddos ready for school.
YHC had the pleasure of sharing a picnic table with @Sassy and @Greenspan where @Greenspan learned that Wilson, NC is pronounced WilTson. It does not have a T intersection as first came to mind.
@Greenspan’s exes do not live in Texas.
@Ludikrous was seen doing single arm exercises. Strong dude right there.
@Boomerang only likes burpees when he is travelling.
Fun Fact: Driving around with KBs is equal to the same amount of weight as a few kids. So not necessarily bad for gas mileage. @Starfish will have to wait on the grandkids for now, but I am lugging around 2 kettlebells which is basically the same thing! That Math Maths.
YHC could not hear all the other MC over the glorious music I was playing but chatter was present in between the huffing and puffing.. I am sure…
Former FNG Zach (aka @Three Rivers) joined us this morning. He is DR from Pittsburgh and works for a glass company. He was accompanied by @Drip (not our @Drip, but DR from Toledo @Drip). We landed on @Three Rivers which YHC had to be schooled on. It was a pleasure to have you and hope you get connected up to F3 up in Pittsburgh! We know a few guys there! @Drip and @Three Rivers leave on Thursday but be on the lookout for them until then!
Ages ranged from 20 to 67 this morning. Let that sink in. Beautiful display of what F3 is all about.
Announcements:
SAM & Eggs. Samaritan Ministry’s Annual Fundraiser. September 25th at 7:30am. Benton Convention Center. F3WS is sponsoring a table ($500). See me if you want to contribute or attend!
Regular #3rd F service opportunity occurs at Samaritan Ministry on the 3rd Mondays of the month! Next one is September 16th. See @Greenspan or @Drip for details!
Prayers:
Safe Travels to the DR Pax in attendance
@Boomerang’s Daughter in Law recovering from sickness that put her in hospital. She’s 24 weeks pregnant. Good diagnosis but prayers for healing and baby’s health.
YHC took us out thanking the #SkyQ for cooler temperatures, His goodness and provision, and for each one of the men in #COT.
