Hey! There is Etch joining us from Q school.
More mumble chatter with the Q school group who was trying to get in the way of the folks exercising more than thier jaws.
Mosey near the entrance to Meth Alley:
– PAX partner-up Turtle and Hair. Well that was the plan, but outside of Packer, we had mostly turtles. Facing down entrance road toward pull-up forrest.
– One partner does broad jump Burpees while the other partner runs ahead to pull-up forrest and back to meet thier partner. Other partner runs. Repeato until broad jump Burpees to the 4th exit sign was achieved.

– Modified W X 20
– J-Slo X 20
– Half a alphabet to J (Called by Etch)
Moleskin:
– The personal attention the Q school students received by having at least a 2:1 leaders to PAX ratio was amazing. They will be the highest quality Q's out there.
– T-Claps to Etch for being the ONLY Q school leader to join us.
– It was Deja vu seeing Blackbeery looking eerily simalar to how he looked when he had his first post during one of the YHC's Q's. He abused a Cheesesteak the night before that was coming up into his throat about half way through. EC goes to Blackberry for stating he owed the YHC 11 Burpees and did them after the work-out. That is integrity.
– Junk basically does his own work-outs, but still did great work. Sorry I did not incorporate partner carries for you.
– Blackberry had a blank stare in his eyes when I explained the stack. He asked the YHC who pissed in my wheaties. A decent amount of mumble chatter was flowing while in his processed meat and velveeta haze.
– Greyhound is like the YHC's gas. silent but deadly. Great work!
– Packer is always a beast. I want to be like him when I grow up.
– It was nice ribbing with the Q school group who tried to take over The Beacon AO with no venue fee paid. They should have brought the PAX over for a lesson on how not to Q.
– Great time at the coffeteria as usual, with a Olive sighting. (It was great to see him out).
Prayer needs:
– Suitcase for his daughter who is very ill and a distraught mom. Pray for Jesus's healing.
– Olive for peace and healing
– Blackberry for a smooth delivery and transition into parenthood.
Thank you for the honor of leading this morning. #savethebeacon
