The Thang(s) 

Apparently, NumbTucks got voluntold to cook 4 turkeys and hams, so I consulted with him for this part of the Q. Much love was sent his way as we busted out these sets…

We done DID it:
Derkins, Irkins and Dips in sequence. x3, x6, x9 & x12. Then back down the mountain with 9, 6, 3. Arms are pumped! But SoccerMom hasn’t had enough yet, “Is that it?” So we ended with 10 of each.

F3Nolensville Turkey-Trot. Indian Run 1 mile with a speedbump: We have to show our FNG what F3Nolensville is all about… lunge walk the short bridge 10 squats on far side, then lunge walk back.

Run past the long bridge (much to the appreciation of the PAX)…

Our family loves time together and games for the holidays…so we did:

The Deck of Death: 4 suits, 4 exercises. Do the number of reps on the card, all face cards are 10, Aces=11. Joker is 20 of Pax’s choice (mix & match or all of one). For today: ♥ = Iron Mikes (each leg = 1/2) ♠️= pull-ups  ♣️= Burpees ♦️= toes to bar.

Everyone got a turn and for some reason the Iron Mikes were very represented. Had my legs feeling like:

 

MoM: Pax perform a few Mary exercises:

We did: Flutter Kix with arms held up or out (not under butt) & American Hammers

CoT/Numbers/Names/Christening of FNG

Post-party of 26 burpees (3D pulled a 6 and planned to do Yurpees but STERNO was like, “PLUS??????” and YHC pulled a Joker, so modification to Burpees was announced. Strong Showing of most every PAX. Brutal finish!

But wait…There’s More! TVG hid his B-day until SoccerMom let it slip so we did 41 Merkins in his honor.

Moleskin/What we Learned:

  • So cool to see the beautiful Golden Full Moon and the colorful sunrise today, The Heavens declare the glory of God and I’m thankful y’all got out of the fartsack to witness it with me today.
  • Awesome to linger for 45 minutes of coffeeteria after the beatdown. Great to meet Nimbus’ Brother Cirrus and both Nimbus and CheezWhiz plan to bring more family Saturday. Sweet!
  • CheezWhiz has plenty of ideas for future Qs, CSAUPs, Gladiator-style F3 fights to the death, etc. Needs to sign up!
  • Exercise Self-Control and Discipline this weekend/holiday when men are expected to gratify the flesh and serve themselves. I’m not saying not to enjoy and be thankful for the gifts of good food and drink, I’m just encouraging to consider serving and not being a glutton…Aye?
  • I might need some help from Gramma to pass the potatoes after the DIDs though…
  • See you Saturday for a HushPuppy Q!!!!!!!!!!!

3D, out!
