THE GOLDEN ROAD

THE SCENE: Low 50s and damp
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
Static Stretching, Descending Burpees (x10,  x9, x8, x7, x6, x5) – Co-Q Bartman
THA-THANG:
Mosey to strip center parking lot for 15 more Burpees.

Mosey on to the base of Jucomanjaro. 8 cones spaced out going up to the summit. Each cone marked with an exercise.   Battle Buddies complete 50 reps total as a team, one exercising while the other runs to next cone and performs 3 hand-clap Merkins before running back. Once reps complete, teams move to next cone and repeat, making our way slowly to the top. Exercises: Jump Squats, LBCs, Incline Merkins, Monkey Humpers, Freddy Mercury (4ct), Decline Merkins, Windmills, SSHs.

Once PAX reached the summit, we were greeted by Waxjob, levitating amongst four blazing torches of fire and the Golden CMU perched atop of a large log seemingly engulfed in flames. Bartman presented the Golden CMU to JUCO but required exercises called by Judge Judy (10 Burpees) Booster (100 calve raises) and Spotter (25 Harry Rockettes) before it was handed over.  Judge gave a short speech about Spotter’s awesomeness and announced Spotter would be keeper of the CMU – well deserved!

Pax jogged back down the mountain with the inflamed torches ablaze. Once torches were extinguished in the duck cesspool, PAX performed Merkins – x40, x30 and x10 before circling up for MARY at the shovel flag.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Judge Judy told a story of a hostage situation he encountered at work and the tremendous leadership and bravery displayed by law enforcement during the event.  What difficult Jester in your life is Christ asking you to clean up? Do you have the courage to obey his command, even when it feels like too much to ask?
MOLESKIN:

Golden CMU handoff was absolutely epic. Thank you Bartman for co-Qing with me and Waxjob, La-Z-boy and Code Brown for making the ceremony so creepy, yet awesome.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

We should strive to be our best everyday whether it’s being the best husband, father, son, brother, co-worker, etc. I don’t feel like I’m being my best every day. I struggle to consistently live up to my potential. The good news is every day we have a chance to be our best.

Good and bad things happen every day.  On July 20th, the following things happened:

  • 1921 Congresswoman Alice Mary Robertson becomes the first woman to preside over the floor of US House of Representatives
  • 1944 Death March of 1,200 Jews from Lipcani Moldavia begins
  • 1967 Race riots in Memphis, Tennessee
  • 1969 1st Moon Landing: Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin step out from Apollo spacecraft 11,530 million watch live global broadcast
  • 1976 Hank Aaron hits 755th and last home run off Angels Dick Drago
  • 1995 Shaquem Griffin, American one-handed NFL player (Seahawks), was born (very inspirational story – look him up!)

One of my favorite quotes is:

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” ― Edmund Burke

Let’s be good men. Let’s serve others. Let’s love everyone. Let’s strive to be better each and every day.

Iron Sharpens Iron – Let’s sharpen each other and make us better every day!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Be like a kid and be Resilient! My family hiked Mt Leconte this weekend . My 3 boys , 7,10,11 did awesome and actually much better than I expected, especially my 7 yr old. Kids !! They are so resilient ! My 7 yr old , Evan , ended up hiking about 15 miles the whole weekend. I thought, for sure, he would be whooped. NOPE! He is so resilient and just bounced back like it was nothing. I will say he struggled a bit but I encouraged him to keep going and we even made up a song about Evan making it the top. He kept going even when it got tough for him. I love you Evan, Joseph and Christian. I especially love my wife Catherine for she might be the most resilient of all of my Fanily! Actually , I know she is.
MOLESKIN:
Basically, kids are resilient and with encouragement, they can do way more than they think. As adults, we are resilient of course but may not be as much as kids. Maybe we know too much! Let’s be resilient and encourage each other to push through the tough

aye !
