The Mysterious Missing Fig Newtons

To understand and appreciate the PAX mission this morning, you must first understand the purpose of the mission.  On a Veteran's day workout the week prior, it came to our attention that our very own Gnarly Goat was deeply concerned about a pack of Fig Newton's which mysteriously disappeared from his residence.  We shared in Goats grief that morning and the PAX collectively made it their mission to find these healthy alternative snacks. 

The mission went something like this with a disclaimer from a sleep deprived YHC that this is a very rough high level overview and exact exercises and counts are not correct.

YHC arrived at 4:45 to prepare a few missions by laying out 14 bricks, forming what we know as Brickmas.  YHC had an enjoyable lap around the HT parking lot for a warm up with Cousin Eddie but could not be persuaded to do the standard.

Mosey up Hill toward Hwy 115, stopping at corner to introduce bricks, each PAX selected two traveling bricks.

Single File across 115 periodically holding bricks overhead slowly marching to Cornelius Fire Department

Sets of overhead presses and side lateral raises performed with Bricks.

Proceed to cross back over HWY 115 and head south towards Zion Methodist Church continue to perform presses by keeping bricks overhead or to the side
 
Arrive at the steps of the church, Partner up
 
Mission 1 – Partners will accumulate a total count of 150 slow squats by patterns alternating ascending and descending the stairs 5 times and doing said squats
 
Mission 2 – Same as mission 1 with 150 LBC’s
 
Mission 3 – Same as mission 1 with 125 Merkins
 
Mission 4 – Find the Fig Newtons, only clue provided was newtons were somewhere on the grounds of Zion Methodist near a contruction coupon. PAX were lead around the church guided only by “Hot”/“Cold” from YHC.  It was understandably chaotic while PAX scurried everywhere but in the end as YHC recalls, Titan and Moses prevailed in their location, covered by a very discrete yet heavy cinder block.  Instructions were given by YHC to safely carry the Newtons and Cinder Block back to HT Antiquity, but it appeared Travolta got a little tired and ultimately let the Newtons fall to the ground a few times
 
A little MARY at the end concluded our successful mission.
 
YHC Honored and humbled to lead this amazing group of men.

  • YHC continually blinded Titan and others with a new head lamp, forgetting to turn it off.
  • Missing Fig Newton mystery obviously related to Rob O'Neill's visit with Gnarly Goat on Wednesday.  Any man that can find OBL can easily find a pack of Newtons.  RESPECT.
  • Moses continues to be excited about BitCoin
  • Bagboy described his home entertainment system, an over the air antennae that picks up all kinds of sporting events
  • Various board games were talked about and how much some of us dislike video games
  • Continuing to lift up Chick Little and all that new him as we prepare for Saturday's Race City Convergence.
