Some weeks ago, YHC was the Q on my birthday. It has bugged me since then that I held a block party with the guys, but I didn’t include any music. What kind of party doesn’t have music? (Or beer, for that matter, but that’s for another time.) When swinger sent the call for a substi-Q, I accepted immediately.
I wanted to dance!
Cannonball and I arrived at 5:12, time enough to put on some gloves and watch Swinger plant the shovel flag. Bismarck was in his normal stretch, Audit and PBR waiting nearby. Everyone was so excited to see my bluetooth speaker.
We got right to work, who needs a warmup when Angus and Malcom will get our hearts pumping?
The thang:
- Thunderstruck by AC/DC
- Plank position
- 1 Merkin per “thunder”
Mosey around the white building, pick up a block on the way back
- Get Lucky–Daft Punk
- Hold block overhead through song
- Overhead Press on “up all night”
- Goblet Squat on “get lucky”
Perhaps next time I’ll bring helmets for this one, the blocks were getting pretty heavy overhead, and they say “up all night” about a hundred times near the end
- Highwayman–The Highwaymen
- mosey to stairs at the Henkel–@TRL, we were thinking of you
The pax maybe hoped that, even though they could see the stairwell, maybe we wouldn’t use it. Their hopes were dashed.
- Stairway to heaven–Led Zeppelin
- Jog down the hill
- 10 LBCs
- Bernie up the hill
- Up and down the stairs
- stay as a group, plank the 6 after each part
- Work B**ch–Britney Spears
The pax were getting loopy by this point. Recommendations of a lighter and or/adult substances were made. Did you know that this song is, like, a hundred minutes long? But sill I needed one last stairs, Britney helped us up that one. btw, that’s not my censorship, that’s the name of the song on itunes
- On the Road again–Willie Nelson
- Indian run back to the AO
Somehow traffic in Lenoir was wild. We saw at least three cars! Thanks to Swinger and PBR for saving Cannonball from becoming a pancake.

Put the blocks away
Cry
Word
Ulysses–Tennyson
It may be that the gulfs will wash us down:
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew.
Tho’ much is taken, much abides; and tho’
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
You’re never too old to take a risk. Life doesn’t pass you by until you let it.
Moleskine:
@Friar, we of course missed you, but we’re all secretly glad you weren’t here to make us look bad on all the shoulder work.
