Ain’t Got No Time 4 Tryptophan

  • When: 11.24.18
  • OIC: PEW
  • THE PAX: Sludge, SugarPants, Pew

Sluggish from consuming serious amounts of turkey, the PAX emerged in the gloom ready to reverse the effects of Tryptophan with a “PEWtophan” extraction.  PAX sang, “Aint Got No Time for Dat!”  F3Mobile shovel was planted and The Atlantis joined in the F3Nation’s song of discipline mixed with chaos.

Weather: 57 degrees/foggy

QIC: Reboot

The PAX: Sludge, Pew, Boots, Plunge, Reboot

Conditions: A crisp, cool 43 degrees with sun and a stiff breeze to drive it all home

Disclaimer

Warm-up:

  • SSH x25 IC
  • Good Mornings  x15 IC
  • Walking Hillbillies x25 IC
  • Divers x15 IC

At this point the PAX were feeling a bit warmer, despite the early mumble chatter occurring during the divers. To increase blood flow, a halfish mile mosey broke out until we arrived at the all purpose field.

Tha Thang:

At this point the beauty of the day inspired such joie de vivre that the Q boldly increased the next plan from elevens to twenty-ones.

  • Get-Ups
  • Squat walk approximately 50 yards to the light pole
  • Squat Jumps
  • Sprint back to start

After taking 18 minutes to complete the first 6 rounds and nearly face-planting multiple times trying sprint on jump-squat induced jelly legs, the Q realized the vast error of his ways and called recover.

Mosey to the benches at the dog park for another round

  • Plank Jacks x20 OYO
  • Decline Merkin x25 OYO
  • BBSU x50 OYO

Mosey back to the grassy plot in front of the stage for a bit of Mary

Spooky Channeling of a Post-Halloween 2018 Block Party

  • When: 11.01.2018
  • QIC: Pew
  • The PAX: Reboot, Boots, Plunge, Sludge & Pew

5 PAX experienced the channeled blessing of this @F3LexSC Natan (@RangerF3) but YHC was just too inexperienced with the wienke to mimic the betterment.  However…lingering in the gloom was…drum roll, please…just enough Halloween hope leftover for @theAtlantis PAX to find the greatest treat of all: The Block.  The PAX were confused…assuming it was Christmas they inspected YHC in search of a belly full of jelly.  Upon closer inspection, and it was a bit difficult to determine…and quite awkward, I might add, for YHC, the PAX concluded that it wasn’t, in fact, Christmas, after all.  An @F3MobileAL roar erupted in the Gloom as it was concluded that the Great @F3LexSC Natan had showered us with channeled blessings of a block wienke!  The hour chimed and with the RangerSpirit the PAX conquered!

Conditions: 76 and Windy

  • The PAX: Sludge (R), Buckner, Boots, Woody, & Herb (FNG)

Conditions: 80 degrees – Not Fallish @ all…the True Atlantis

5 Pax arrived to conquer the foggy, humid Atlantis undeterred by the fartsack.   YHC & Buckner stoked after our Knozit-style interview with FOX 10.  Splashing Merlot from the PAX X 3 seemed to be proof of our stokedness.  On the other hand, we are excited for the Sadclowns in Mobile.  One more opportunity to see MobileRising.  What is true is that we all posted and got better.

Locomotive and Hostile Sprays

2 PAX attacked the rumor of hurricane conditions in The Atlantis Gloom.  Sluffing off the cold stares of static jesters, YHC reeled in the PAX coming in hot.  An exchange of gloom greetings was in order, posted the shovel flag, who had succumbed to the fart sack at the last outing, and center field was taken.

Condition: 68 deg F w/a breeze off the pond

NO FNG’s nor disclaimer due to YHC (will correct the void)

COT/Moleskin

The book of James tells us to confess our faults to one another to be healed. Confession is not for the purpose of shaming, but to bring our unloveable parts into the light to be loved. This requires two things – 1) that we are open and honest in our confessions and 2) that we are trustworthy enough to receive the confession of others.

Big Bang Launch Day

 

August eighteenth twenty eighteen will be a memorable day for the F3 Nation when the Alabama Gulf Coast AO was birthed. Thank you to all who made this possible and for the men who came great distances to help with this launch. We will be forever grateful.
