Pax also included RC, Big Mac, FNG Kevin and Rosie (Canine)
Nine of Mountain Island’s finest responded to the pre-blast call of “KCIRB SEHCTAEEB” (loosely translated to mean that it’s all about the “Brick, Bee-Atches”. Pax came prepared with gloves in hand for an excellent Tuesday morning beat down.

Run back to lot, no time nor need for Mary after that one
Moleskine
-The Big Mac mobile could double as a mobile pet groomer
– Although Rosie demonstrates great prowess with the “heal”, she is terrible at the side shuffle
– Overhead in the schoolyard during a lap around the track while kids stood there waiting for the bus: “Knowledge is power”. “Stay in school or you’ll find yourself running around a school parking lot in the early morning in the dark while carrying bricks”.
– Certain shoulder exercises with bricks are more rotator cuff friendly than others
– Grip had a tingling sensation on the brick curb dips, not sure if that is good or bad
– Upon further review, doing Diamond brick mericans in cadence after dips and skull crushers may not have been the best Q call
– With this strong of a response we just may need more bricks. Big Mac has access to heavier ones for those weighing in at more than a deuce
– Welcome FNG Kevin. He is RC’s friend from Mt. Holly. He is a business owner, father of 2.5 year old, and potentially pussy whipped like rest of us. Good to see him out in the gloom
– While it may be unpatriotic to not do the pledge during the warm-o-rama with the F3 American shovel flag firmly planted in the parking lot, it is even a higher crime and misdemeanor to leave it there (nice save El Tigre)
– Thanks for indulging and enduring my brick fetish men!
