So this change of weather has YHC feeling froggy for a return to Granny’s, and checking the Q, sheet noted Steve’s name on the list. Not fully committed to a 4:30am wake up, inquiries into the planned adventure would be a determining factor. “Simple, easy, same ol’ same ol’” came the retort to dash wishfully eager hopes. The reaction came on like a boiling pot of water and before head hit pillow in the 8:00pm hour, the alarm was set and the coupons were in the truck!

THANG

The superposition once again collapsed as The Wack-Attack backed into the parking area with tires for all. That’s right, he showed, so he Q’d!

Tabata style with 1:00 work time and 0.20 rest. Station’s were Tire Flip, 2 Tire Toss, Jump Rope, Slalom the Columns and Freddy Mercurys. Each man had a go at EHing the guy that showed to run the columns himself, to no avail. And despite the cooler morning temps, the sweat was perspired and the burn was felt!

With 2 minutes to go, the Tabata rolled on with 30 seconds of Planking and 10 seconds of Merkins. A few rounds were a nice bow on the gift that was this beatdown

Count/Name, QIC attempted give back to Steve for his sacrifice by asking him to pray us out, but alas, he demurred. Rather Old Reliable Russo rocked the 3rd F like a seasoned pro.

As the brethren dispersed, YHC went to the little library on the trace to peruse what was currently on offer. Upon returning to the truck, Akbar’s car door was wide open, light on, phone inside, with no Akbar in sight! A thorough search of the immediate area turned up nothing and so, despite this being good Old Mandeville, the M’s true crime obsession and genuine concern for our brother instigated a call for returning reinforcements. As Hammer was about to pull up, and YHC was on the phon with Steve, Akbar returned from a quick run to the lakefront for the beginnings of his preparations for Ragnar next year! And all’s well that ends well in the gloom!
