Blocks, Bricks, Tires…What Else Do You Want?

YHC is 48 and knows better than to eat certain types of foods. Well, yesterday was a mistake. Buffalo chicken and BBQ is not a good combo prior to a bootcamp. Just a word of advice to the pax still in their 30’s…life changes after 40. Eat better.

Now, to the good stuff. While thinking of a plan today, I remembered Shawshank is now equipped with some fine equipment…blocks (that’s a given), big boy bricks (new) and tires (also new). Pain stations were the plan for each and boy, they did not disappoint. I was cussing at the Q along with the other fellas by the time this was over.

You know high humidity season is here when Cheers shows up sans shirt. Topless Thursday at the Shank. That sentence will either drive our future numbers way up, or have our Shank faithfuls begin posting elsewhere. Tclaps to Cheers and H&R for heading out for SL. While they were running, YHC was busy moving tires, blocks, and bricks to the appropriate parts of a certain field. Sprinklers were off, no rain, and still the fields were wet. I love Shawshank, the one AO that defies nature and stays moist at all times.

1 Minute Warning, Disclaimer (1st TWSS joke), Opening Prayer.

Devo: Lots of folks are redefining “truth” today. Truth is truth and unchangeable whether you believe it or not. If you, or someone you know, is searching for a path, a truth, or happiness, look to Jesus. John 14:6 – I am the way, and the truth, and the life. Stay grounded in him.
