Preamble
As the Q, I PB'd a Standard and a Boot Camp for Fission. I was there bright and early at 0445 to scope the AO and stretch a bit before the 0500 Standard. At about 0455 it became apparent I should have visited the bathroom before the leaving the house. This was not something I could take care of on the schoolgrounds since I did not have the proper tools to clean up after. By 0458 it was a dire situation and an emergency Bio-Break evacuation needed to be executed! However given the Q obligation I paced the parking lot until my watch showed 0500:00 and fortunatley no PAX arrived for an early run. I jumped in the car and drove much like 9-Lives drives the fire truck to a 24 hour gas station. I will not divulge the exact location of said establishment to protect myself and others! Darting through the store and having to side step an older lady perusing the breakfast pastries I had barely a second to spare to get to the bathroom, praying the whole way it was vacant. Alas, success and relief! However, upon flushing I instantly knew the plumbing was inadequate for the job! As the water rose, new prayers were answered when the water leveled out a few inches below the rim! Grabbing the lightweight plunger from the corner I went to work. After a few moments of plunging and sloshing there was no progress. A tool with compressed air or maybe hydrolics was in order and I had neither. This was going to have to be a job for the professional behind the counter of this fine establishment. To ease the guilt of what was to come for the poor lad I decided I must make a purchase. I grabbed a Gatorade waited in line and paid for my purchase. As I took a step towards the door and as nonchantaly as I could muster, I turned to the young man and said "By the way, I think the toilet might be clogged in the men's room". I casually returned to the school parking lot feeling much better and ready to Q

- Great work by these men today. Sometimes it is harder in a small crowd but we all put in the effort today
- We had blood and sweat but no tears today – On the second Balls to the Wall I cracked my knee coming down and bled pretty good the rest of workout
- Hat Trick – going strong for 6 years in F3! I hope you tip your private driver well! Enjoy Miami!
- Dr Seuss – 2 years and certainly a pro and crushing workouts! But you need to find a better place than Milwaukee to drive your Harley!
- Gooey – only 8 workouts to date! Feels like you have been around longer! You are getting stronger every time I see you! Good luck with the house hunt!
- Thanks to Cousin Eddie for the opportunity and for leading Mad Sci this week!
