It’s only 4/6/8 more reps, right?

QIC: Red Eye

Date: 5/14/2018

PAX: Greenspan, Fokker, Snookie, Blue Steel, Roosevelt, Cobra, Huckleberry, Touch-Me-Not, BAM, Balco, Pita, Hedwig, Chisel, Tuco, Swiss Miss, Plunger, Razzie, QIC: Red Eye . . . and three more that YHC couldn't make out in the recording.

21 Pax and a very loud mulch truck gathered at Reynolda Village for this week’s edition of the Estate.  There were also #fastholes lurking nearby, but we won’t speak of them.  YHC hasn’t posted at The Estate for almost a year (Qd on 5/22/17) as I’m usually kinda paranoid that no one is going to post at The Outhouse.  Numbers are usually on the lower side of ideal at that AO, although we’ve had some good numbers as of late.  YHC had actually planned to use the following Q plan at Outhouse about a month ago . . . but no one else posted that day.  So I figured I’d try it out at The Estate instead where it’s a fair certainty that half of the FoCo pax will show up, regardless of how many other solid AO offerings exist.

Jimmy Page started jamming, Robert Plant started wailing, and the pax got their blood flowing . . .

Prayer Requests

Praise that Snookie’s brother Stewart contacted family/mom for the first time in a very long time.  Prayers that the connection lasts.

Praise that Prohl posted this weekend on his own and is doing well.  He’s working on securing a full-time position with the City, so prayers for that.

Burpees suck, but the merkin/hillbilly and especially the plank jack/Jack Reacher combos were especially awful.  #washinghairisbad

Wish YHC had gotten a picture of #SwissMiss’ spongy shirt #meditateonthat

Lots of traffic around Reynolda Village this morning, but I imagine our Hillbilly demonstration might put a stop to that in the future. #avoideyecontact

Evidently we were supposed to do dips in the courtyard.  Maybe next time.

Plunger was clearly on board, but hopefully the rest of the pax also enjoyed today’s playlist (sorta in order):
Whole Lotta Love – Led Zeppelin
Travelling Riverside Blues – Led Zeppelin
Break on Through – The Doors
Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting – Elton John
Voodoo Child – Jimi Hendrix
Fortunate Son – CCR
Let’s Go Crazy – Prince
Get Up – James Brown
Superstition – Stevie Wonder
Wait Until Tomorrow – Jimi Hendrix

YHC invites all pax to post at The Outhouse on Monday mornings, 0530, Leinbach Park (map for Snookie), gather in the parking lot by the tennis courts.  Come Q!  Step in as Site Q so YHC can abuse pax at other Monday AOs more regularly!

Thanks for the keys, Huckleberry.  Looking forward to you returning the favor at Outhouse.

SYITG,
Red Eye
