DELEGATE

Date: 2026-02-09 AO: westeros Q: Michelin Man , Pep, Tim the Toolman, Sherlock, Natural Ice, Grape, Dirty Bird, Squatter PAX: Pep, Tim the Toolman, Sherlock, Natural Ice, Grape, Dirty Bird, Squatter, Michelin Man, Mud Flap FNGs: None COUNT: 9 CONDITIONS: Not Cold
WARMUP:
D – Downward Dog E – Everybody Run L – Lateral Leg Raise (Jane Fonda) E – Everybody Run G – Good Morning A – Alabama Prom Date T – Toy Solider E – Everybody Run
THE THANG:
YHC needed to line up some Qs but has not had time. So, we did a little delegation. Each Pax took 5 minutes to mini-Q, on the fly, with no prep. They did great!
Highlights: Natural Ice – blockee sets Squatter – thruster sets Tim the Toolman – Sevens Pep – Long mosey (smart to stretch out at this point) Grape – Acronym’d BAD BUNNY on the fly! Sherlock – solid block circuits (curls, OHP, rows). No gimmicks Dirty Bird – second workout. Great Spiderman call! @MudFlap – brought us home with quality work in a UNC shirt (:eyes: Vector).
The first 5 hard committed, and got a combined figure skating score of 29. The last 3 did not hard commit and ended with a combined score of 13. Tough loss by the flacid commits.
Music brought to you by my trip to the Grammy Awards. Other topics of conversation included Epstein files, bitcoin’s collapse, Lindsey Von’s injury, Bad Bunny singing in Spanish, and commercials from the Big Game (TM). Very little actual sportsball talk.
MOLESKINE:
2 Takeaways: 1. Delegation – F3 = Freed to Lead. You can all Q at any time, and with quality. Thanks to those who stepped out to Q for the next month. YHC can step back. 2. Culture Making – F3 = Community. All these big events (the Grammys, Super Bowl, Halftime Show, Grape’s politics, etc.) don’t yield a monoculture any more. So we now make culture locally in small groups.
COT: WEIGHTsteros Forever

Celebrating Nation Fun at Work Day 2026

Date: 2026-01-30 AO: bomber Q: Vector , Firefox PAX: Chunks, Pep, CubCadet, DintyMoore, Tim the Toolman, Crawlspace FNGs: None COUNT: 8 YHC and his esteemed co-Q Firefox could have taken the easy route with a theme about ice or being stuck at home with no lights (I know, too soon.), but at F3 Nashville’s premier AO, we don’t get better by taking the easy way . . . So, today we recognize National Fun at Work Day (aside: how do these things become “official?” Can we just create a “National Bomber is the Best F3 Nashville AO Celebration” Day? )
CONDITIONS: Old and slippery (just ask YHC who stumbled, bonked a knee and definitely pulled my right ass cheek – not that the PAX knew anything about it, as I keep my medical issues private :face_with_rolling_eyes:. Rumor is Tim the Toolman pulled a “Grayson Allen” and tripped YHC.)
WARMUP: Carefully amble to Rec Center parking lot, armed with 3 bags of rice and 3 kettle bells. SSH x 20, LBAC x 15, Seal claps x 15, Overhead presses x 15, RLBAC x 15, WMH and Good Mornings OYO.
Because of a lot of PAX sass, a 10 burpee penalty was levied.
PLAYLIST: Ain’t It Fun – Paramore Working for the Weekend – Loverboy Everybody Have Fun Tonight – Wang Chung Work It – Missy Elliott Girls Just Want to Have Fun – Cyndi Lauper Work – Rihanna f. Drake Fun, Fun, Fun – Beach Boys We Can Work It Out – Beatles You Make Loving Fun – Fleetwood Mac Working in a Coalmine – Devo We Are Young – Fun.
THE THANG: WORK: Filing the T-P-S Reports 50 Tricep DIPs 100 Push Ups (modified from pull ups as playground was an ice rink) 200 Squats Run 3 circles around cul-de-sac between exercises
FUN (at work): Plank and kettle bell pull throughs Hollow Body Holds with Rice Bags Tight circle with weight passes
MOLESKINE: Great to see everyone and several comments about appreciating getting out of the various retreats/refuges and breaking the monotony.
COT: – Praises for hambone’s new addition (and thankful the scary day ended beautifully) – we’ve already named him BaconBit – Praises for the NES, safety, road workers helping get Nashville back on line. A lot of stress out there with homes cold, people displaced, and sad events like home fires, injuries. Now is when we can lead – step up and help in any way you can (and ask for help if you need it). – Prayers for my MIL and my M who is dealing with moving her mom our way (along with her 100 lb German Shepard) – leanpax is ongoing (even if many of us cracked like trees covered by ice — OK, ok too soon). Stay strong, HIM – only 2 weeks left! Try to make habits that you can carry forward.
MISCELLANY: – Great to see Crawlspace join the group after running 17 miles or something – Coffee at McD’s due to power outages and late starts at the usual haunts. CubCadet rejoiced at the prices and kindly paid $11 to get the whole PAX coffee (8/8 attended) – Do not (I repeat NOT) play Work It when standing next to Chunks – his booty shaking was, er, something. – The :bomb: AOQ handover is coming soon (as Pep noted, it’s the longest handover of an AO ever – going on 7 months it seems?). Who will be our new leader? It’s a mystery that can only be solved if you attend :bomb:
Grateful for all of you – SYITG Vec
