Keep count
With a vacant Q sheet and interest and intrigue on the minds of the fellow PAX. YHC took the defensive move and volunteered. Fear of a musical montage of 2010 skaa or trivia pertaining to Yugoslavian folk traditions kept the brainstorming simple yet effective.
6 of the usual TuesdayTuff PAX arrived at the Stage in standard arrival fashion. The 7th was a lively AB roaring in with all 240volts ablaze. To our amazement, a perfect park without even a dead man’s curb bump had all the signs of 20/20 vision and steady hands.
A lone wolf emerged out of the gloom. The 8th man was fresh and had all the signs of an FNG.

The PAX eagerly greeted the FNG and began the silent yet cumulative observation of a potential F3 branding.
After a brief and effective warmarama (YHC ran a longer than usual SSH but still no SV), the PAX were ready to begin.
Side note : As an emerging connoisseur of COUS and entire new world has been opened. Much like musical lyrics are counted for potential F3 pain, every obscurely sized and ridiculous piece of junk is a coupon. This cannot be turned off. Life will not always give you a perfect symmetrical piece of cement. Gloves will not always be available. With love and concern for my fellow PAX, YHC must and will prepare for those uncomfortable moments in life. Fail to prepare, and you prepare to fail. Woah, wait a minute. I just went dad mode. Get back on my lawn and have a beer. As for today, standard Cindy work.
Disclaimers were spoken regarding the lack of medical knowledge and theorizing the rationales for particular F3 nomenclature. “Just do what we do, and don’t hurt yourself”
Thang 1:
5 burpees, take a lap
10burpees, take a lap
15 burpees, take a lap
Etc
*** Once your cadence of burpees stopped, you were out. punishment was lunge walks across the field until all were out.
Most made it to 25 burpees. Honeysuckle is still out there…
Thang 2:
Same thing but WW3
Thang 3:
Same thing but Coupon swings
When the dust settled there was 2 minutes left and we circled up for some MARY.
Crunchy frogs and Freddymercs guided us home.

Announcements and FNG naming.
With FNG in center ring, the obvious choice, which correlated synonymously with his life and hobbies was revealed. TexacoCat was unveiled. Prayers for those in Cali and our own Dawson family.
Tap-talk.
This group of men continues to grow and provide support for one another in ways unknown by most. Pushing ourselves past comfortable and learning to thrive in the uncomfortable has become commonplace. Each PAX has their own strength and weakness, but cumulatively we are stronger than most. This strength far exceeds physicality. We are all stronger in life.
