Hot Potato Q, an Abacus Sighting, and a Crazy Car

8 Crazy guys showed up for a rain soaked workout this morning!  Gumbo was supposed to Q, but the M and 2.0’s got sick in the middle of the night.  Gumbo texted Spit who was already up because of Baby Spit and Hot potato was called.  Hope the Gumbo family is feeling much better soon!

Spit took the beginning — mosey around the church with 5 merkins every so often to break up the run a little

NMS —
Last night there was a mysterious message from Phonics saying that there was a guy coming to the Creek today, but he needed some shoes.  size 11 or 12.  I thought it was an FNG — if it had been his name would have been Joe Jackson.  Anyways it turned out to be none other than Abacus who was not wearing normal workout clothes, but did have tennis shoes on from somewhere.  He showed up in a Tesla (his employer) — more on that later…

Workout was fun and difficult, but extremely wet.  It rained and then it rained some more.  and some more.  YHC was wringing his shirt and shorts out every few minutes.  At least YHC was not sweating to death…

Nice having Abacus, Vinny and Hardywood there from other venues!  Come back any time!

On to the Car.
Afterwards, Abacus asked if we wanted to ride in his car.  Some of us took us up on that offer.  But first, the car had to give us a demo…  see the video if you want to see something completely stupid and utterly pointless.  but also pretty cool.

So Abacus took some of us on a ride.  A few notes — going 0 to 45 in a second is quite awesome!  Having the car drive itself, also awesome, but maybe a little scary.  If Teslas are the way most cars will end up in the future, then the future will be great!  Go check one out if you ever have a chance.

Peace out,
Opus
