13 pax came out of the moist gloom, gathered around the virtual shovel flag, and joined a fallen hero for some laughs and sweats. Here is how it went. THE THANG:(x = exercises in 4-count cadence, called by the Q in normal fashion with tremendous care for his fellow men) The disclaimer, especially important since the last Q by YHC was about 4 years ago. Mosey to Home Court Windmills X 15Mountain Climbers X 15Squats X 15Plank and The Good Morning Merkin (say “good morning, ______!” to the pax to your left. Since no FNGs, this was surprisingly well executed. Mosey to soft, squishy soccer field for instructions. Given the early start time, the instructions were kept simple for the Main Event – The Moose.Mosey to playground area and perform the following exercises:15 merkins15 CDDs15 ab exercises – the W15 humiliating leg exercises – The Monkey Humper, of course Mosey back to field and plank until pax arrive. Above for 8 cycles. It was hard, see below for details. Enough time for a little Mary:6 inches of heaven – hold feet 6ish inches above ground – all pax call 6 seconds around the horn (with choice words in between, college teams being a favorite, “6-Moose, 5-Moose” was my particular favoriteJ-Lo X 15ST Merkins X 15 Recover, Recover The Truly Naked Moose-Skin:- Moose was Lt. Col Morris J. Fontenot, Jr, my friend, an F-15 Eagle driver who was lost over the Virginia mountains on 25 Aug 14 while taking his plane on a routine maintenance run. The nation felt his loss, but his family and our family felt immediate pain. This workout is a way to honor him in spirit – serious work and silly, ridiculous moments, with great memories and stories throughout: -The time 2 bottles of Jack Daniels were emptied in a productive fashion – The time 2 inch thick NY strips were requested, ending in someone sleeping in the garage – The time 2 pianos were burnt to the ground- Burgoo left behind his cotton top about 2 cycles in. My Moose’s Bro t-shirt stayed on for several obvious reasons.- Amen swapped out the W for WWII situps during the first cycle. This is perfectly acceptable modification.- Mumble chatter was strong throughout. It was welcomed as usual because that’s what the Wilderness does best. Prayers going out to Amen’s nephew, Frontier’s friend and The Force’s friend, as well as the Laprell family. Humbly submitted 22 August 2019,Jorel
