Shiny Sevens
AO: Rubicon
When: 06/13/2023
QIC: FannyPack
PAX (11): Avis, Dipstick, False Start, FannyPack, Groundhog, Home Alone, Pinkey, Zohan, CPAP; Sleepy Joe; FNG Guano
Preamble:
4 HC’s became 11 PAX in nothing short of a miracle, including 2 down-rangers, an FNG, and a Kotter (Home Alone).
Even with the noisy slack-recruiting of No-See-Um for Academy, the Rubicon showed itself, once again, as the true source of rejuvenation – the veritable ‘life-blood” – of F3 Alpha. Kinda.
Warm-O-Rama:
We start with a quick mosey past the playground to the parking lot by the vegetable garden for:
- SSH
- Windmills
- Weedpickers
- Imperial walkers
- Arm Circles fwd & back
- Circle-burp
The Thang:
On the way back to the FOD we stopped at the playground for a morning call.
At the FOD, we did a 7 of Diamonds from my laminated, 8.5×11 weinke (sp?). (This thing is two years old and lives in my trunk. When I don’t have time to plan a BD from scratch, or if the Q fart-sacks, it’s always handy) Exercises and counts below:
| Time Around: | Exercise: | Count: |
| 1st | Absolutions | 7 |
| 2nd | Captain Thor | 14 |
| 3rd | Imperial Squat Walker (Single-Count) | 21 |
| 4th | Side Straddle Hop | 28 |
| 5th | Merkins | 21 |
| 6th | Lunges (Single-Count) | 14 |
| 7th | Burpees | 7 |
We were all working on the last round w/Burpees when YHC called time and we headed back. False Start led us in 15 LBC’s to wrap it up.
COT:
Welcome Guano, named for his enjoyment of spelunking. Great to see Home Alone, who likely started around the same time as me & is back. DR’s Sleepy Joe from Cherokee (supporting Guano’s first BD) and CPAP from Charlotte (Gastonia).
Reminders about upcoming events- Beer Ruck, Weekend Quadrathlon Thing.
Dipstick noted great turnout for the blood drives (and yet he wants more…).
Prayers for me as my son and I travel to San Antonio to help my parents with house projects.
Naked-Man Moleskin:
This was a beautiful morning, great group of guys including new faces, hopefully they’ll be back. Always a pleasure to lead.
