51 SSH, one for every year since Ray Stevens’ The Streak was the #1 song in the land. Look how far we’ve fallen as a culture.

Today was a day for reflection, for the frank acknowledgment of aging, and for tripping over hidden rocks in a wet parking lot. Kentucky I am sincerely sorry about the rock and I hope you are not too badly hurt. I do hear good things about the NHS though, should you need them.

10 Happy Burpees per guy while the partner counted out loud. The counting part sounds dumb until you do your ten and realize you sincerely cannot move your arms after 10 of these things. The counting was my birthday gift to us all.

We got up to some shennanigans in between the burpee torture sessions, and finished with a couple of trips up baby everest. All in all, and alongside the great Matlock (Bill Maddox), I am #rekt.

Were it not for the presence of a most welcome visitor I might have forgotten the disclaimer, so thank you Steak Knives (F3 Cape Fear) . I will repeat the disclaimer here in case anybody missed it this morning:
-F3 is not responsible for your injuries; Charmin (John Willis) is.
-Asylum is the first and longest continually operating F3 AO in the continental United States, and is statistically comprised of the best looking Pax
-The Q Source is an ongoing collaboration between Matlock (Bill Maddox), Cosmo 2, edited for clarity by @Tecmo. It is Asylum’s gift to F3 Nation.

Disclaimer out of the way, we warmed up with an appropriate pre-birthday Q number of SSHs. Steak Knives (F3 Cape Fear) got the Junk Science to take back to the fine men of Wilmington NC, may they all enjoy 10 more years. Shoulders blasted, some light stretching.

Like all my attempts to be like Double Wide, I couldn’t quite measure up, but we sprinted and walked down the winding path and route 66ed our way back, Sweep Or Be Swept. I hope my future grandchildren appreciate all the getups I did for them.

ATMs to finish, as is only right.

For the BOM I thought about three friends of mine and their experiences of faith – not having any and wishing they did; having some for a time and then rejecting it; and having it land on them through a disaster, and being brought to life by it. Prayed for Paul’s procedure today, and for Cinco (Scott McGuire)’s road trip. And for my friend Carol.

What a pleasure to be out in it with you guys this morning. Thank you!
