13 hard-chargers sallied out on the first day of fall to enjoy some jungle boogie.  As Kool and the Gang so wisely said in their treatise on the Jungle:

Get down, Get down, get down, get down
Ahhhhhhhhhhh !
Jungle Boogie
Jungle Boogie
Get It On
Jungle Boogie
Jungle Boogie
Get It On
Jungle Boogie
Jungle Boogie
Jungle Boogie
Get Down With The Boogie
Jungle Boogie
(Come & Shake It Around)

 

So that's basically what we did.

Ye olde Jungle Skin:

Welcome to FNG Ed!  Way to hang brother.  Where was Hippie to provide encouragement?  We will see you out there again this week for your nickname right?

Uncle Rico gets workout MVP for some serious Larry Bird'ing as he crushed every exercise and went out of his way to make sure he was doing extra reps or extra-difficult versions of the reps.  But mostly he wins the day for his cotton resplendency.  It was a gorgeous dispaly of cottony track suit glory.  I salute you sir.

We kept smelling bacon until we found the source.  It looks like southern church BBQ season is upon us.  It's the best time of year.

Signficant mumble chatter was occurring.  I'm not sure what it was all about, but at some point I was just keeping count of my own cadence as everyone else was simply having meaningful conversations.

Waterbean. Oh waterbean.  What are we to make of you?  Are you an actual coffee shop?  Me to Waterbean person (Topgun is my witness to this conversation):  "Do you sell coffee here."  Waterbean person to me (incredulous as she waves her hand at all the coffee cups along the wall):  "Yes!  We sell coffee!"  4 cups later they were out of coffee.  AGAIN.

Well gents, that was a good 'un this morning.  I'm more smoked than all that pig beside our wall.  Totally enjoyed it.  ISI.

GG sends.
