One by one, reports of Monday morning pax absences flooded the group line late Sunday night. Superflu, airport delays, late Mass, Enron early morning crypto trades? All seemed legitimate but each took a bite out of my already dwindling morale. YHC prepared for his darkest hour, a solo castaway beatdown with only my kettlebell as companion. As I peered into the gloom and the clock struck 5:30 am I dug deep and stood on the shoulders of those who taught me the way of the Q: post with integrity, whether 1 or 20.
So I dove in and was wrapping up some really shady windmills when my eyes deceived me. Is that a gloom mirage? No it’s a real F150 coming in hot from Chackbay! Percolater to the rescue…and wait what’s that!? Another unidentified vehicle rolling in. YHC went into a mental scramble and prepared his legal disclaimer for an FNG but it was no stranger. Yankee Joe came to join the fray after getting a taste of the action at the Peltch. 3 PAX! Lets get it .
Warm up
SSH, IW, WM, AC (little, medium, big IC x5 each, then reverse), high knees, butt kicks.

Thang 2 Continued Memory Game
We got a little deeper into completing memory but still haven’t scared 50%. Continues to be a fun format. We also let the JBL flex its muscles with some sweet Peppers and Zeppelin to make sure Goose could here the base all the way from the stage.
