Tar Pit Alien Re-invasion

AO: Tar Pit
Q: Big Mac ,
PAX: Big Mac, T.B., Jolly, SAGA, Tortuga, T-bone, Chuck, Too Big To Fail (TBTF) FNGs: None
COUNT: 8
Conditions: Great morning, but something strange was in the air.

WOR:7x motivators
10 overhead claps
10 arm circles
10 back arm circles
Good mornings OYO

The Thang: The strange thing was a UFO, it’s got us in its tractor beam. Resistance is futile but we’ll try anyway. EMOM 4 BBSU, 4 Merkins, 4 Squats Increase by 2 each round. When you fail, the tractor beam pulls you up, step into the ring.

Once captured and with our endurance calibrated, they test our intellect. One person offers an exercise, (Burpee, lunges x2, Merkins x3, BBSUx4) next adds it on. We redo from the beginning. Rotate calling it out. If you mess up, you’re out. Turns out T-Bone is the smartest.

They decide we’re sufficiently intelligent and enduring to serve as pets. All but SAGA decide this is undesirable.
Escape plan, the aliens leave for precisely 3 minutes. We can use as much time as desired crafting explosives, but then we must get to the core and try to destroy it before time is up.
To craft an explosive you must complete 5 thrusters, 5 burpees and 5 coupon swings
If we fail to destroy the core, the aliens are sure to punish us in some annoying manner before destroying us all… We failed.

Moleskine: Mrs. Twit in Roald Dahl’s book starts off relatively attractive but becomes deformed and twisted through years of malicious living. What are you becoming slowly, over time?

Downrange Sandbag Survival Scenarios

AO: Downrange
Q: Jayhawk ,
PAX: Dumpster, Noodles, Brainfog, DQ, Lakers, Stock boy, Jayhawk, Manhole FNGs: None
COUNT: 9
Conditions: Moist

The Thang: 10 burpee warmup

Scenario 1: Flood at the bridge! Estimated 7 minutes remain at the last remaining viable bridge between our community and the neighboring community. Sandbags must be relocated and a damn established in order to make the last remaining bridge safe for survivors. Platoon ruck with 10 total sandbags and 9 men.

Scenario 2: Secondary Bridge Repair. 7 minutes to secure and establish a secondary passage for remaining travelers.

Scenario 3: Man Down! With the bridges now secured food rations must be transported to secure location back at base. One man was hit by aerial fire. All food (sandbags) and men must be transported to base for medical treatment and food aid.

Scenario 4: Medical Supply Reconnaissance. With all vehicle transport unavailable medical supplies were air dropped near base. Teams must gather medical supplies (tennis balls) by dragging their sandbags (down the soccer field) to retrieve medical supplies and return to base until all medical supplies have been recovered.

Scenario 5: Rival Forces Challenge.
3 minutes head to head with rival community in a Sandbag Burpee off. Each team member must complete 5 sandbag burpees (think blockees, but with a sandbag) rotating through their team members until time is up.

Moleskine: Train with purpose. As men, preparedness means ready and able to serve when called upon. Through floods, natural disasters, famine, or zombie apocalypse training with purpose serves to establish our preparedness to be ready to meet whatever needs arise in our communities.

Prayers for Lakers after his second interview. Also, DQ’s poor sandbag took a blow from his face and nose. Hopefully, the sandbag will recover…

3 Runners went north— Beaker, Flower Boy, and Cheese with his dog.
The ruckers headed east and made it to the Chase Street tunnel before heading back. Archive left a bit early for work, and the remaining 3 of us headed over the bridge to get our last few steps in.

Moleskine:
Perspective helps me not get angry. It helps me appreciate what I normally don’t. When my son couldn’t find his hat for his baseball game, the fact that he wasn’t in the ER like my other son the day before—he’s okay now—helped me appreciate his good health and to chill out. When I went to Home Depot, and they let me exchange the crappy stain for new stain without a receipt, I appreciated that the trip went as well as it could have (despite my not wanting to have to take it in the first place). Have some perspective today.

Moleskine:
My wife and I started going to marriage counseling about a month ago. We talk about various things. In some ways we are different people than when we both got married in 2011. Me leaving the Christian faith and becoming more agnostic. She’s less idealistic, changed views on education, is more introverted. I still have many of the same values I had, just not necessarily the same faith in specific religious things. Our therapist asked us to talk about and find values that we still share: Shared Values
– Kindness
– Hospitality
– Curiosity vs Judgement
– Inclusive Attitude
– Forgiving
– Care for the marginalized
– Hard working
– Critical Thinking
– Generosity
– Using money/ resources wisely
– Kids should know our love
– Kids should be encouraged towards independence
