Inquerious Questions of Guidance – from Steve
It took 3 attempts before auto-correct finally let that title stand as is. And even now I’m not sure it’s right… But there it is, in all its glory, preserved for the annals of F3 history. What the hell it means is anyone’s guess.
Rowdy crowd of 6 this morning at Granny’s, (7, if you count the monster mosquito hawk that was making a racket during warmup and Mary). So rowdy that a bleary-eyed Chewy and I wondered what the hell was going on as we attempted to keep cadence count. I mean, sure, Jose wakes up ready for a fight. That makes sense – teaching junior high you gotta be on your toes and ready to knock someone down a rung or two. (Plus, he’s got the additional 20 minute drive of wake up time.) And now that Bush has become the new grumble grumble, well, let’s just say the back and forth between these two has become a joy to witness. Though it does make counting difficult.
Luckily, we quickly moved on to the thang, a semi-random circuit of increasing reps that spanned most of the trailhead:
– Derkins
– Step Ups (ea. leg)
– Lunges (2:1)
– T-merkins
– Donkey Kickoffs
– Crunchy Frogs
– Apollo Ohnos (2:1)
– SSH’s
– Freak NastiesEach round ended with a set of x3 calf raises up the stairs, then start again, increasing the rep count by x5.
We mostly stuck together today, entertained by the barefoot Duke and his parkour moves. It was a big day for him, as he saw his net worth nearly double to $24.12 and, more importantly, learned the subtle distinction between the adjective demure and the verb to demur. Hard to believe one day we could be reading a backblast written by Wacker’s offspring. We can only hope he inherits his father’s love of flowery language.
And, of course, there were also the usual F3-type ramblings about Scientology, drinking vials of blood, moon landings – that sorta thing. Hey, Russo is right – the internet does indeed always win.
COT and Chewy prayed us out. Appreciate you gents, was fun to have a bigger group out there today.

How is it not summer yet? – from Russo
How do I know it’s unofficially summer? Close to 80, crazy humid, not a breeze to be had at 5:15 AM. Oh, and Jose posted which means school is all but wrapped up.
Pax of 4, with regulars Steve and Chewy rounding out our barbershop quartet. Yes, Chewy moved up to regular status this week in YHC’s opinion. Pax Miner is pleased.
Warmup (all 10x)

– Self love
– Good mornings
– Toe touches
– grass grabbers

Mosey to the bridge, where at every block it was 20 plankjacks and 20 squats merkins.At the bridge: 7s (Peter Parker’s 2×1 and Donkey kicks)

COT, NOR, Announcements, and Prayer closed us out. SYITG

Weekday Wild Q!! – from Shooter
Picking up the Q at Granny’s proved to be Wild in many ways. First off was the continuation of conversations about Madonna from Saturdays beatdown… Which by the way aged YHC, but probably not to the point made about 130 years referencing things I won’t state here.. See Jose10k, we know how to keep it clean on the BB for Granny… Secondly it was Wild to get a Quarter pipe sighting on our journey through Mandeville along with a shoutout good morning to the PAX… I know the question you all are wondering, did he join the PAX? 😬
Let’s just say we may not have another post from QP until he thinks of another AO to create and handoff to the PAX to run TBD.. 😂
Third, there is something Wild and eerie about a cyclist cruising the trace in the dark morning hours blasting Beethoven, as he cruises around passing the PAX not once but twice..Enough chatter and here’s the details.. Warmup was variation of 10IC GM, Arm circle’s, Superman’s, Scorpion kicks, bridges, self love and Cherry pickers..
Wackers dice came along for the Wildness on this Gloom and the Wild Q presented itself on multiple occasions. PAX moseyed around stopping at various points to roll the dice.. Jump squats won the day with multiple reps, as well as mixes of Merkins, Donkey kickoffs, some stretch’s, gas pumps, MCs, Peter Parker’s, calf raises, Rock balboa’s, bunny hops, SSHs and some others I probably missed… Returned to Granny’s with a min plank to close.. Announced the BEAST with the same somber responses of consideration with exception to Russo.. Wacker that’s your Q to launch the EH tentacles!!🦑
Appreciate the post and safe travels to Chewy for his trip to Mexico..🇲🇽
Until the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!!
