YHC showed up at the new Purple Cobra site at Jones Park to find Wild Turkey sitting off to the side revving his Jeep….lights pointed down to the area where we thought we might drop our cinderblocks off, but we decided on a different location. Abe had too showed up early to help scout a location for the coupons. Started running low on time before the main event. We ultimately decided to place the blocks behind the short wall on the right hand side of the playground right after the workout was over.
FNGs: None
Warm Up: SSH, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Seal Claps, Overhead Claps, Moroccan Night Clubs
The Workout:
PAX moseyed over to the short wall on the right hand side of the playground. We performed 2 rounds of the following exercises: Derkins, Irkins, Dips, Bulgarian Split Squats. Added Step-ups on the 2nd round on the short wall.
We then went over to the bathroom/facilities area and completed 3 rounds of people’s chair with BTTW, plank holds, and chilcutt planks in between each round of people’s chair.
Next we went over to the rock pile to grab medium-sized rocks. Bobby Boucher picked out one of the biggest rocks I’d ever seen at an AO. Each PAX rotated in between each exercise to make sure we each got a turn with the large rock. Lots of complaining from the PAX during this portion of the ME, some due to the rocks, and some due to Bobby Boucher letting out some extremely wet gas that was dubbed as “Nacho Cheese’ by the PAX. Abe soon chimed in on the smelly fun. The exercises consisted of chest press, overhead press, ruh-rohs, skullcrushers, goblet squats, wonderbras, and curls for the girls.
Finally we went over to the bleachers beside the ball field. We split up into two groups with one group climbing to the top of the bleachers and completing various exercises while the other group stayed at the bottom and did air squats until the first group returned. Exercises at the top consisted of squats, merkins, carolina dry docks, and some weird variation of squats that Wild Turkey was doing that looked like he was trying out for an adult film. We dubbed him as Wild Twerkey during this portion…there are some things that you just can’t unsee….we also mixed in a few different methods of going up and down the bleachers such as bear crawls and crawl bear.
Back to the flag for Mary.
Mary: Popcorn consisting of LBC, WW2, Xs and Os, low slow flutter, alphabet soup spelling out N-A-C-H-O-C-H-E-E-S-E-F-A-R-T-S, Homer to Marge including single leg, and some new exercise that Pumpkin Spice picked up from Peak City – don’t know what it was called but basically like boat canoe with heels up, tap hands on the ground while keeping feet up all the way to 100. That hurt!
Announcements: Town hall at Bass Lake on Feb 28 @7pm
T-Claps (Recognition): All PAX for coming out to support the AO location change. Thanks to guys who helped move the coupons from my truck to their new home at Jones Park. Many hands make light work.
Prayer: Hasselhoff’s great uncle dealing with some heart issues, Kosher’s MIL diagnosed with breast cancer, praise for Kosher’s half sister who was approved for a kidney transplant at UNC. This now puts her on the list so that when she does find a donor match, they can complete the surgery. Bobby Boucher interviewing for potential new job that came out of the blue.
Also a reminder from YHC based on Bobby Boucher’s situation and some personal things that have happened with me lately that some of the best things come from unexpected opportunities. Reminder that God is in control and it’s HIS timing, not yours! Put your trust in Him!
YHC took us out.

Farkle with Finkle and the Funky Bunch
/in The Nest/by FinklePAX: @K I T T Y L I T T R, @Gamecock, @Finkle, @Pumps, @Sprinkler, @Martini, @Warbucks
Warm-up: Good Mornings, Daisy Pickers, SSH, Frankenstein’s, and Inch Worms
Event 1: Took a quick Mosey up to the middle school for a round of Bars, Bears, & Dan’s. This was an oldy but a goody. Divided into 2 groups. Group 1 shimmied up the rails on the ramp leading up to the entrance of the school and crawl beared down the stairs and Group 2 was performing Dan Taylor’s. Those are 1 lunge to 4 squats going all the way up to 10 lunges and 40 squats.
Event 2: Moseyed back down to the pavilion for a game of Farkle. Most thought I was making crap up as we went but we did follow the rules for 1’s and 5’s. They were added up to produce how many of a prescribed exercise by the PAX rolling the dice. If they didn’t roll any 1’s or 5’s they had to take a penalty lap around the park and the next person took their turn. Lots of fun was had and a little bit of confusion.
Mary: We carried on with another round of Farkle but only called ab exercises.
COT: @Gamecock’s father-in-law is going to have surgery in March and his sister is in the middle of a high-risk pregnancy, @Warbuck’s traveling this weekend, and @Ham’s family in Kenya dealing with civil unrest and area being bombed.

great match-ups, lots of extra running on the pitch. Mis-marked end zones – (I blame Gump not supervising me). Surprisingly the team of five played pretty well considering they were out numbered and had an a old fat guy trying to keep up with the young guns. Dropped passes resulted in burpees, merkins, monkey-humpers, star jumps, etc TDs resulted in merkins, LBCs, SSHs, etc.
no injuries reported. Hope to see more PAX under the lights after up-coming marathons

Thank you Breach for taking us out.
