Today’s Tom Sawyer

The BackBlast:

This Van Winkle guy is wearing DRM out.

First, it’s the Blood Drive. Let’s do one and see how it goes he says. Next thing you know it’s an F3 Nation CSAUP to donate 10,000 pints to the Red Cross. And he pressures DRM to practice giving blood on the weekends so he can set a real low bleeder time and get the mojo going with the pax. Dropped a 3:25 on their butts. They do love a challenge. #FreedToBleed

And then along comes #Give2Give. After we completed the 24 hour Labor Day telethon he’s got DRM matching dollars for each pax that post to ALS for the next two years. That’s gonna add up and cut into the coffee fund. Lucky coffee is free over at the club or there could be some real ugly mornings over at Casa DRM.

But here’s the last straw, the one that snapped the back of the camel. VW signs up to Q ALS on 10.27 and notes that DRM will co-Q. Using DRM  to draw in a big crowd so DRM’s gotta pay that match. And then he “forgets” to let DRM know about the Q until mid-day on Monday. Get an email – Hey can we get together for a beer this afternoon and plan our Q at ALS tomorrow? What Q? But he said he’d buy me a beer so we meet at Ru Rus at 5 and make a plan. He’s gonna do COP at start and 5 minutes of Mary at the end. DRM gets the rest… VW did pay for the beers.

So here’s what we did:

VW on Q: Short track mosey with high knees and then back to COP at the usual spot for the usual stuff.   SSH, IW, Squats, Fire Hydrants and some other stuff…he didn’t write anything down.

DRM on Q: Mosey to the AG lot and form an irregular shape.

10 exercises with reps decreasing each set. Start at 12, then 10, 8, 6, 6 (DRM quick release of the 4 and2).   Dry docks, J-Lo, Stagger Right, Squats, Stagger Left, Dying Cockroach, Hand Release Merkins, Box Cutter, Wide Arm Merkins, Heels to Heaven.

11’s across the lot with Mike Tysons and Squats.

Mosey back to bus lot for Merkin Circle.

VW on Q: 5 minutes of Mary. Dolly, Protractor, Bicycle, Rosalita…again nothing on paper but it was awesome.

Playlist today was twofers by James Brown, Led Zeppelin, Who, Queen, Pink Floyd and Rush.

VW is Today’s Tom Sawyer – got me whitewashing fences and getting better. #FeeedToLead. Most of what DRM is putting down above is completely ass-backwards. Will leave it to others to sort it out.

VW – Thanks for your leadership and sense of humor.

Great chatter this morning although DRM must have been too far from Wahoo cause he didn’t hear much from him. Did hear VT got beat.

Nibs was on good behavior and did many of the exercises.

Raid let us know that Pink Floyd was originally named Tea Set and the name was changed to avoid a conflict with another band at one of their gigs.

Stuck around chatting at the 19^th hole and watched the late crowd tee off at 6:30. Only a fivesome this am so it might be the end of the double down for Sunshine.

Thanks for being patient with the old guy.

C you real soon. Y because we loves you!
