D-League

Preamble:

YHC has been itching to get back on the Q sheet since January and finally got my turn thanks to all the other PAX stepping-up lately.

Warm-O-Rama:

0530 and no Inseam who was expected to bring post beatdown coffeeteria and propane heat so we had to make a capri lap to give him an extra 90 seconds to arrive.  As his truck flew in on two wheels and he jumped out the window while parking a la dukes of hazzard, we picked him up and moseyed down to the bottom of Mt. Killamanjaro.

The Thang:

YHC informed the PAX that their dreams of becoming NBA stars just came to fruition….unfortunately we’re only in the D-League and need to work our way up into the true pro level.  We moseyed up the hill to start our tour and stopped for our first game at the top for 10 derkins.  First game was a breeze and off we went to the next game.  We stopped for 6 total games around the AO climbing the pyramid at each stop along the tour:

1. 10 derkins
2. 10 derkins, 15 dips
3. 10 derkins, 15 dips, 2o dolly
4. 10 derkins, 15 dips, 20 dolly, 25 donkey kicks
5. 10 derkins, 15 dips, 20 dolly, 25 donkey kicks, 30 dying cockroach (alpha count)
6. 10 derkins, 15 dips, 20 dolly, 25 donkey kicks, 30 dying cockroach, 35 diamond merkins

Mosey back to the big pavilion after the last game and learn we graduated out of the D-League!  It was hard earned but we did it and actually skipped over C and right into the B league where the competition is much tougher.  All PAX owed 40 burpees OYO and bat wings IC before time was called.

COT:

Prayers for all the people without power and water in TX and other southern states that got slammed by the storms and cold weather.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

TNT was a quote about discipline by Abraham Lincoln:  “Discipline is choosing what you want most over what you want now.”  Strong statement from one of our greatest presidents and one Jocko would surely endorse.  All about taking the long term view and getting after it each day.
