The Great Beaver Beatdown 🦫 🌖

AO: pain-train
Q: Sooie
PAX: Siri, Roadkill, Juicy J, FLO, Cheeks, Sooie
FNGs: None
COUNT: 6
CONDITIONS: A perfect 55 degrees, slight breeze, and basked in the smile of the Great Beaver herself.

WARMUP: 3 Truths and a Lie (F3 Edition)
Each PAX took turns sharing three truths and one lie while everyone did Imperial Walkers. Guess correctly? Reward yourself with 10 squats. Guess wrong? Pay the penalty: 10 burpees.
If the majority sniffed out the lie, the storyteller took the burpee penalty instead.

By the end, we learned a few surprising things about our brothers, some believable, some definitely HR violations if true.

THE THANG: The Labors of The Great Beaver
Juicy J made a brief cameo, then sped off after the “warmup” in his Prius to “save his body” for “the tussle,” dashing our hopes for an epic 3v3 showdown. So, the remaining five brave souls launched a co-op campaign to conquer four brutal labors:
– Labor 1 at gazebo 1: 100 Alternating Hand Block Merkins (as a group)
– Labor 2 at gazebo 2: 200 WWII Sit-ups with Blocks (as a group)
– Labor 3 at gazebo 3: 300 Goblet Squats with Blocks (as a group)
– Labor 4: the team returned to gazebo 1 for the Table Carry Gauntlet: 1 PAX at the front, 1 PAX at the rear of the picnic table, 2 PAX performing farmer carries with blocks, 1 PAX carrying a single block solo. We rotated positions as fatigue set in.
Completed 2 full rounds of the 4 Labors.

MOLESKINE:
None, other than reflection on the joy of doing hard (stupid) things together.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
– The Ascent (11/15) see Siri for details
– Pain train food drive, bring your non-perishables to pain train to help alleviate food insecurity in our community. See FLO for details.

COT: The Fellowship of The Beaver
Topics discussed:
– Siri’s unsolicited Zoom call contribution
– Apricot explosions (don’t ask)
– Chocolate milk + spicy peanuts + paintball = a questionable life choice
– Gallon Challenge CSAUP proposal
– FIRE! it isn’t anything.
– The mysterious inner workings of the male psyche
– Deep thoughts from shallow dudes
– Quantum entanglement and other things we don’t actually understand

Prayer Requests:
That none of our lives depend on opening a pickle jar for the next couple of days.

Thank you FLO for the Flo Joe and all who came out. Had a great time!

“let’s go ahead and do 20 burpees”

THE THANG:
Proverbs 24:5-6
A wise man is full of strength,
and a man of knowledge enhances his might,
for by wise guidance you can wage your war,
and in abundance of counselors there is victory.

A lovely 2.29 mile trek beginning on the blue trail and finishing on the old roadway loop. Excellent mumblechatter throughout. T-Claps to Roadkill ‘s rum buffer! No one lagged, no one lacked. The total trek went 5 past our 06:15 target.

I propose that we end promptly at 0615 wherever we’re at on the trail. We’ll all just walk back to our cars together.

Mosey’d the loop, then did 5 minutes of MARY.

MOLESKINE:

We live in a world that is more and more automated. AI can help with all sorts of menial tasks at work… but what if the menial is good for us?

There’s something about working with your hands and enjoying the fruit of your labor that is so satisfying. My day job is a lot of manual labor (lifting boxes, printing, shipping, trimming posters, typing, etc.). I like seeing a clear desk at the end of the day, knowing that my work is complete.

Reflect on the satisfaction you get from finishing a physical task, whether it be a workout, yard work, your day job, etc. Give thanks to God for the health & ability to complete the task for today. It is a gift.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

3rdf community cleanup opportunities coming to the AO soon!

COT:

Nameorama, Countorama, named our FNG (welcome @Hooters!), FloJoe + ADG merch shared. Enjoy!

It was a pleasure leading y’all this morning.

F3 Pokémon Adventure

AO: pain-train
Q: Natural Ice
PAX: Siri, Wolfpack, Juicy J (JBowman), El Capitan, Pitmaster, G-string, Sooie, Derby, FLO, The Banker, Motorola, Cheeks, Roadkill, Half Lyfe, Timber, Natural Ice, sideswipe
FNGs: None
COUNT: 17
CONDITIONS: Incredible

WARMUP: We kicked off with the usual Warm-O-Rama

SSH, Merkins, Squats, Arm burn out of ArmCircles, Seal Claps, OHP, and Moroccan Nigh Clubs

THE THANG: We started the Q just like every other day. But hold up—I couldn’t contain my furry—I hit pause on the hype and switched gears. Surprise, fellas! The Pokémon Theme Song blasted through the airwaves, and we were off on a totally unexpected journey through Kanto! (Yeah, I’m that guy.)

After getting hyped, we grabbed our Pokéball coupons (cinder blocks) and made our first big decision: choose our starter Pokémon. Pax chose Squirtle (I was pretty disappointed), but we demolished our rival using Tackle (Blockie Block Burpees) over and over. He didn’t stand a chance.

With Pallet Town behind us, we grabbed our coupons and moseyed into the wild. We encountered a Caterpie—and how do we catch it? 8-count Body Builders with a block, of course.

We trained hard and crushed Brock’s gym with Cinder Block Curls and more Blockie Burpees to claim that first badge. Tackle for the Win

Next, we hit up Lavender Town, where we got a little creepy with Ghastly and his ghostly minions. We didn’t stand a chance with WW1s and Block Lunges, but the grind was real.

Then, we hustled to Cerulean City for the Misty showdown—but first we trained. Squats, Dips, and Incline Merkins powered us through. We got that badge and still had time for some LBCs to round out our Pokémon experience.

Throughout the whole journey, we ran a 3/4-mile mosey with our coupons in tow and hit multiple sets of Blockies, Curls, LBCs, Squats, Dips, Incline Merkins, and Derkins as well as a bunch of things as needed.

Great work by all the PAX— it was an absolute grind, and you crushed it. The Pokémon journey may have been a troll surprise, but we’re all stronger for it. Onward to the next adventure, Trainers!

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Night Movies at 7 pm this Thursday kicking off at the TN State Map

Bellevue is crushing it!
Thank you again for the opportunity to lead!

Good Will Bunting

AO: atlantis
Q: Pole Dancer
PAX: Squatter, SalPal, Oatmeal, sooner, Subway, Puzzlah, Toothless, Siri
FNGs: None
COUNT: 9
CONDITIONS: dusty

WARMUP: mosey around the field, active warmups

THE THANG: KICKBALL!

Started off with Last Man Standing- one pitch, if you get out, you join the pitcher in the outfield. Last batter to get out wins. Immediately had to add people to the outfield due to Oatmeal’s lack of hustle.

Switched to standard kickball where we ended in a tie! (boooooo)

Highlighted by some superb batting from Toothless, an opportunity to improve fielding abilities from Siri, and a true masterclass in bunting from both squads. Everyone was red from burpees in the dirt after every hit.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: The dreaded Tennessee Tussle is scheduled! Get excited to form teams of four so we can improve on our finish from last year!

COT: Prayers for health, the passing of loved ones, and career adversity. Always thankful for the PAX providing a welcoming space to share our struggles, emotions, and triumphs together.

PLAYLIST: Quickly threw together selections from the top results on Spotify for “baseball walk up music.” Turns out the youth these days only pull from two categories for walk up tunes- rap made after 2019, and classic rock. Go figure.
