Five minutes of various stretches.

Count-o-rama; Name-o-rama, COT.

Final Thoughts from FREED TO LEAD:

“Every man in an F3 Ball of Man is there because he has chosen leadership over Mascot-ship by accepting the obligations of authority. And we are all in exactly the same boat. We are all idiots in the COT, that we know, we are the idiots upon whom our communities depend to protect them from nakedness. From the COT we draw what we need to bear up to the responsibility that comes with 43, to not waver and pull our hands from the wheel at the very moment the passengers most depend upon us to keep the ship off the rocks. Without that, being a leader rather than a Mascot at 43 would be a very naked and lonely thing. It might make the SadClown life look pretty attractive. F3 helps a man resist that temptation, but not for his own sake. He is Third. He resists for those he loves. He resists for love.”

YHC,

Wilson

Q: Wilson

Summers and picnics go together. Pot luck picnics are always fun. There’s always the guessing of who’s going to show up and what will they bring. There’s always such a variety.

The Scatterbrain Workout Back Blast

AO: The Higgins

Date: 7/23/18

Time: 0530

Q: Wilson

Pax: Bungee, Cobra, Goldstar, Tails, Zebra

An expectation for being the workout Q (leader) is to post a Back Blast. A problem in doing that as a scatterbrain is that I have to now remember what it was we did.

Since there were no FNGs I gave a modified disclaimer (“Guys, this park is closed and we really shouldn’t be here…”)

We began our warm up right there in the parking lot (I knew Zebra was going to show…), with, what was it?? SSH IC (19). We continued with Cotton Pickers (IC, 16) and finished with….13 of another exercise.

My wife says that I’m easily distracted.

The plan was to get to the far end of the park to the pull up bars, so we began our Mosey around the track when I saw a piece of equipment I had never noticed before. So I positioned one Pax on each end of the picnic table for dips, one on each side for staggered Merkins, and one off each end of the table holding an Al Gore. We took a 10 count on each position and rotated.

On the road again, we made our way to the parallel bars where we again rotated through six positions for dips, modified rows and…. Guys, help me out here. I know we had another exercise there.

–

When I was going up, I was not diagnosed as being ADD because… well, in our neck of the woods people described what I had as being a boy.

At the pull up bars we again rotated through a series of pull ups, knees-to-elbows and a hanging L-sit. When not on a bar we were holding a plank or a variation.

The next stop was, I don’t know what they’re called, but thereare four pipes mounted about four inches off the ground. The objective was to hop over each bar. This has always scared me because if you miss and trip on one bar you are sure to smack your head on the next one, brining a whole new meaning to the term “Scatterbrain.” (Special shout-out to Cobra, who used his superior vertical leap to clear each bar by a foot.)

We veered off the path for our final stop doing some buddy assisted Merkins/Planks and Leg Curls.

We finished with our COT, but then I forgot the Name-o-Rama. But Tails wouldn’t let me forget, primarily because he likes taking selfies.

I have been diagnosed as suffering from Creeping Old Agewhich compounds my innate scattered abilities. I have noticed my short term memory is slipping, and I’m also having trouble remembering recent events, too.

But I distinctly remember Heater saying on Saturday “I’ll see you Monday.” Hey, Heater, F3 has a word for people like you.

I’ll have to look it up.

YHC,

Wilson Tog (The Old Guy)

Higgins Preblast July 23, 2018

It’s kind of interesting what information gets passed down from one generation to another. It wasn’t until my dad passed that I learned that in high school he acquired a nick name: Scatterbrain.

“Well,” I thought, “that does explain a lot.” No one ever branded me with the label, but I now attributed my organizational skills to him.

Be that as it may, join me on Monday, 5:30 a.m. at Thomas Cloud Park in Huber Heights (aka: The Higgins) and see these organizational skills arrange a workout that will leave you breathless and bewildered (“Now, why did he do that?”…)
