9 Pax turned out for fun-filled morning gloom recess at Mighty Oak and DryRub's first Q in maybe 2 years. I just don't remember. Broken bones and laziness held me back for a while, and it is a blessing to be back with the LKN Pax. Before starting the beatdown, Delta, named about a month ago at The Mighty Oak, flewover The Mighty Oak at 5:25am. We learned that Amen and Tuffy showed with their hoops game today. Shooting free throws after the block station is a disadvantage. I need to remove that jack of burpees from the card deck next time. Merkins are not a legit Mary exercise for some but definitely pair well with JLo featuring Amen.
Warmup
The standard stuff with 80s rock classics on the JBL. A little mosey through the parking lot, then circle up for: 25 SSH (IC), 10 Merkins (IC), a few arm circles fwd/rewind, 15 IST (IC), 15 cotton pickin' carrot pulling 'lil professor long snappers (IC).
The Thang – divided the Pax into 2 groups, and each group rotated through the stations described below for some fun recess time at the Oak:

During coffeeteria, we talked about first world problems, like ice preference in drinks, ice cube trays, how to make a cheap iced coffee at Starbucks, chicken wing shortages, smoking/grilling meat (my name is DryRub!), and opening restaurants.
