Moleskin:

  1. Happy New Year gentlemen!
  2. T-Claps to Turncoat who is the new Isotope 1st F Q!  YHC identified Turncoat as the best man for the job, and he gladly accepted, Bagboy kindly approved, and we've been discussing changing roles for a few weeks.  Humbly, YHC will take over as 2nd F Q and will try to carry on the great stuff Turncoat has been doing.  More to come on both fronts.
  3. T-Claps to our 4 visitors from other regions for making the trip.  I believe they were J Wow, Moon Raker, Lexi, and TinMan.  Although, I botched the recording a bit so if incorrect please sound off below.
  4. T-Claps to Bijoux for brining out Sonic his little guy.  Strong work from you both.
  5. There were a few complaints about the muddy conditions of the soccer fields.  Clearly, this is Lawndart's fault.  Appreciate the opportunity to lead today bud and thanks for providing the post workout beverages.
  6. Appreciate the music provided by NiteStick.  Artists included Whitney Houston, but did not include "The Presidents of the United States" despite Jolly's incorrect assertion they were.
  7. Muddy fields and tough agility drills led to much mumble chatter, some of which can't be repeated here!  Many were hoping that Turncoat would end the workout after 45 minutes but he wasn't having any of that!
  8. Happy 6 years of F3 to our friend Black Eyed Pea!
  9. Fenway emerged from this workout unscathed, let the records show.
  10. Welcome back Kotter:  Quik Stop.  Good to meet you and hope to see you out more often.
  11. Agility Drill All-Stars:  Hall Monitor, Frogger, and Outlaw.  Needs work:  Lawn Dart and Tantrum.
  12. You know the mumble chatter is solid when YHC can't recall many Toxic jokes…he was drowned out by Jolly, THM, and Tantrum among others.
  13. On Saturday, at this same location, we'll have the first of the monthly F3 Dads / Kids workouts at 0700.  This is something that spans 1st and 2nd F in our humble opinions so Turncoat and YHC are excited to increase the frequency of these gatherings.

Aye gents, Turnpike.
