Today 12 PAX got the privilege to post up at RED Friday to honor Sgt. 1st Class Elis A. Barreto Ortiz, 34, a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division. He was killed on September 6, 2019 by a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device detonated near his vehicle in Kabul. He is survived by his wife, two sons, and a daughter. Thank you for your service and sacrifice.

Ab/merkin Mary- We went clockwise, so Inspector called up 50, yes 50, American Hammers, the Fury way. 10 Merkins OYO. 2C called up 20 windshield wipers. I’d rather play in traffic.

NMM- Not the temps I was looking for to begin #nipsoutnovember. Never know in SC though. It may be back in the 90’s next week. Speaking of nips, the huge numbers this morning could have a direct correlation with the possibility of Tweeter exposing his nips at Hero Hills this morning. Those crazy runners. Man, what an awesome crowd this morning! Twitter was blowing up last night. We ALMOST had 13, but unfortunately, Uncle Jesse may have been coming down from a sugar high. That many kids in the house, he had to have been neck deep in candy, which really isn’t all that deep. You were missed brother. Well, I am sure like any other Q this month that is doing the merkin challenge, I looked for a merkin heavy WOD. Barbara nailed it, however, it was also heavy in everything else. Everybody was killing it. There was only about a 4 min spread across all the PAX. For some reason, the BBSU’s sucked the life out of me. But it was always comforting to step up to the monkey bars to hear BenGay say “It’s only 20!”. There wasn’t much mumblechatter, unless you count moans, groans, and the occasional painful outbursts. Everybody was chipping away at the work. After we were all finished up and reminiscing over the last 30 miserable minutes of our lives, we still had a few minutes to spare. I have a merkin quota to meet, so we circled up for some abs and merkins. Again, it was awesome to see such a crowd of cars in the parking lot today. They just kept rolling in. Stay on those merkins boys if you are in the challenge. If you are not, well you might as well be. You will get your share during boot camps until December. Just sayin. You will get better by doing it. #nipsoutnovember #letsendflabbymanboobs
