COP:
Well, after looking around for the rest of the PAX in the woods, in the dumpster, behind the buildings (and finding no one), we circled up for the COP where Laettner kicked it off with his special of rendition of “Crapping In His Pants” in high key. I’ve never heard a note carry for that long. T-Claps for that special performance.

THE THANG
Deck of Cards Workout
Distribute the deck of cards equally among the PAX
Joker – Bear Crawl around the playground
Face cards -10 reps
Number on cards – as displayed
Clubs – BBSU
Hearts – Thrusters
Spades – Curls
Diamonds – Merkins
Going down the line, in turn, the PAX would call out the card from his stack and the PAX performed the appropriate reps for the appropriately suited exercise. That’s it. 96 REPS in total for each exercise in total. What turned out to be fairly interesting is that the hearts were somehow back-end loaded and as all of the other suits were showing, we knew it would soon be time to pay the piper with some thruster work. (side note: Spano is my inspiration for the thruster excercise; early in my F3 experience he Q’d and absolutely destroyed the PAX so I’ve always had a special place in my heart for that exercise). When the joker was pulled the PAX knocked out a bear crawl around the playground. That sucked more than I envisioned it would! We had a few more minutes so Q decided to get all partnered up for 1 set of pullups to failure while the partner performed a wall sit and then swapped places. Put the blocks up and went to the parking lot for Mary.
My personal apologies for the shared fog that seemed to knock out at least half of the PAX. Turkey Burger orated that I ate rotten road kill, pooped it out, ate it again and then shared that with the rest of them.

Personal:
I am responsible for comms for #menofdepot via the Depot Bot. It’s very well documented that I am very adept of #roomating between my personal and depot accounts but outside of that, let me know of something that should be announced or you want announced; please tag Depot, text me or DM me and I’ll make sure it gets seen. It has also been well documented that I reached a new decade in age and now considered and even older fart among you young men. The thing is, is age is just a number and although most of you are younger than me, I look up to and learn from many of you. I appreciate everyone’s patience with me, the examples you set, the husbands and fathers you are, your devotion to F3, your devotion to God and the camaraderie that we share at Depot. None of us are perfect people but we are better people because we stick together in the end and pick each other up. I learned from fellow PAX that if you miss seeing someone, don’t just poke them in Twitter chat; give them a call or a direct text, meet them for lunch or a cup of coffee or even a beer. Something keeps people from coming, they may or may not want to share why but just let them know that they are missed and are always welcome back to the gloom. Thank you to everyone at Depot for accepting who I am.
