Pre-Blast:  Come join YHC as we celebrate another trip around the sun.  Bring Coupons! This year there will be no tour of the AO, no existential journey, no narrative- just a bunch of work!…and a theme…and a playlist.  HC Below.

Name O Rama; CoT-

“Middle Age is when you still believe you’ll feel better in the morning”- Bob Hope.  I am now solidly middle age, and this is true with F3.  Every day I am in the gloom, my day is better!

Naked Man Moleskin-

Smails presented me with a fantastic canvas picture which is in the pic below (I have to hide that in my office somewhere!)- Thank You!

Speaking of weather…Mayhem had us running in the rain on Tuesday and that sucked…so I had us stay under the pavilion.  I still left soaked.  And Mayhem was in the parking lot when I arrived running laps (in the rain) and doing pullups- because he figured I wouldn’t incorporate either of those…and he was 100% spot on!

Sloan brought the energy today per usual- Ill have “Come On Now” in my head all weekend!

Slickback was right in front of me…giving it max effort…crushing the overhead presses!

Grace pumped out the Merkins- the rest of struggled in awe!  This beatdown fit your skillset nicely! Thanks for the cigar as well- let’s play some golf this week!

My Buddy making it out was a treat!  He isnt able to come out as often, but he didnt miss a beat!

Reddick was the only one who recognized the band Sum 41 (musical savant as he is), and didn’t like them either, but appreciated the theme (or was really good at letting me feel as if he did!)

I apologized to Terps about all of the shoulder work afterwards- he pointed out that we are in our 40’s and will have some aches and pains to deal with.  And now as I am officially in my 40’s, this beatdown will have some lasting effects!

Thanks for helping me celebrate fellas!  Cheers!

-Bluto
