YHC in car line to pick up 2.0 Duke, glances up at the Marsh and checks the forecast for the gloom. Noticing a decent chance of rain, he sends a message of practical consideration to the F3 North Shore crew at large that it would be prudent to hold the beat down there (rain or shine doesn’t mean let’s get soaked). Nobody has signed up to Q at this point, and people begin to make assumptions. As the day progresses, no name appears on the Q sheet for tomorrow. Despite YHC’s intent to fall back from F3 a bit to focus on other priorities in his life and other areas of physical fitness, he finds himself unwittingly conjuring quotes from The Godfather 3 and Brokeback Mountain (not those quotes fellas). He’s been around long enough to make assumptions about PAX assumptions, and so visits F3Nation.com to prepare something for the potential inevitability that the QIC shall be he. And this is what he puts together…

The PAX keep track of order of completion, and, like a playoff bracket, 1/15, 2/14, etc. for the next exercise.
Tammy Wynette (Stand by Your Man)
P1 does Merkins while P2, stands next to his man and does Squats. QIC calls out an up/down cadence and the partners switch every 10 reps. After 100 reps, the PAX runs around the block and resumes for another 100 reps.
Next, the PAX calls the wayward 2.0s to attendance as the they line up on the baseline of the bball court. They run 2 rounds of Suicides with verve, gusto, and a bit of modification as needed.

Count/Name/Swole prays us out
BBQ shares an invite to Covington’s Porch Fest, specifically at Tarheel’s house on S. America St 2-5p (Look for the band).
Bean announces the he has unilaterally changed the “10k” Au Lait sight to Haven Coffee in front of the Court House. We shall see how it takes before adjusting the sight map I suppose.
Grundy officially sets the weather-prohibitive date for the 2026 Nightmare Before (After) Christmas for the 2nd Sunday in January at the Lakefront/Girod.
And finally, Jose being, the teacher that he is, feels it incumbent upon himself to share the vital importance of this weekend. It is not the 84th anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor we should be concerning ourselves with, but the inaugural “6-7 Weekend” celebrated by Gen Zs and Gen Alphas across the country. No, we don’t know what it means either.
So the rain ends up holding off, but still we gather and put in work. And that, gentlemen, is good for humanity. Fill up the Q sheet & SYITG!
