Come back and circle up. COP — IJR, Plank Jacks, Butt Kickers, American Hammers, Crunchy Frogs, Dying Cockroach Get out the Phone and the bluetooth speaker for some fun, but wait what is that annoying popping sound? Waited only a few seconds for it to correct itself, and then decided to scrap the songs and go with Plan B. The Beast in the…

Before the next one, here’s the last one – from the first Monday evening after the changing of the clocks with evening gloom re-emerging.
