Numerama, Namerama, Announcements (Memorial Day convergence, Possible new AO on Thursdays at Mechanicsville Elementary School, opportunities to support Lab Rat’s work & service – see his comment with a link for more information). YHC took us out.

NMS:

The PAX came to play this morning and did not disappoint. YHC and others were pleasantly surprised to see Lab Rat in the parking lot drinking coffee out of a mug. Someone exclaimed, “Are you going to use that mug for your kettlebell?” The PAX realized that we didn’t have an extra kettlebell for Lab Rat but Mudface rushed home to get one.

YHC decided to bring back Plank Jack Merkins (PJMs) after yesterday’s fun fest at DaVille where Opus introduced them. YHC could not remember them from another Q but it is highly possible.

The PAX partnered up and attacked the tours around the parking lot. Mumble chatter was light at first but eventually Lab Rat and Yardsale kicked it up. Mudface provided some commentary saying, “How did they end up traveling together? That is a lot of talking from those two!”

T-claps to Helix and Mudface for fighting through the rounds of exercises with far heavier kettlebells. Helix never takes short-cuts and he benefits from the work. All of the PAX showed grit and tenacity this morning and should be commended. Chewie’s running of the boat/canoe always provides a finishing touch of pain for all!

Well done out there this morning!
