Introduction
About a week and a half ago I looked at the QSheet and noticed something odd. I text Columbus and said “We fucked up”… We both signed up to Q on the same day AND at each other’s houses! Leave it to C-Bus to figure out a way to still make it fun via competition. It’s simple…how many HC’s can we get at each AO? How many PAX will come out and get after it on a perfect Friday morning in the gloom? I know the TC boys usually wait till 9pm to HC but either way, I’ll have a plan in place and we are gonna WORK!
Bring your coupons and shoes for anything! I’ll bring the tunes and full body beatdown. Metallica’s latest album “72 Seasons” was too long to get through for my last Q, so tomorrow we hit the rest of the album.

Got to the AO a little later then I would have hoped, but nature called before I left this morning. Anyways, rolled in around 5:10. No setup required so no problem. Greeted the PAX as they circled up, hit play on the playlist. Let’s go!

Thang 1 – Murder Bunny Relay
Partner 1 begins to murder bunny with coupon.
Partner 2 runs about 60 yards to soccer goal posts, turns around and taps out partner 1.
Partner 1 then runs the same direction towards soccer goal posts, turns around and taps out partner 2, etc.

I again focused on the messaging behind the ’72 Seasons’ theme of which Metallica’s latest album is centered around. Our first 72 Seasons (18 years) and how they shape us. While this first years lay the foundation for the path our life will take and the way our personalities will develop, don’t let that be a crutch for you either. There is always time to change your ways and your approach. To deviate from your path. Five years ago no on here was working out in a parking lot at 5am. You made a decision to change. To deviate. It is never too late!

C-Bus won the challenge with 21 PAX at MY HOUSE the OP! In a way though…I feel like I won anyways. I take a lot of pride in what has been accomplished at the OP. Far cry from the days 18 months ago when we would get 6 PAX and I think I Q’d twice a week. I picked up this Q so that I could visit C-Bus’ house and give his local PAX a good beatdown. While C-Bus ended up not being able to be there…I hope I still accomplished part of my mission!
I personally called out Magellan because when he is there…he WORKS. And he challenges me to work harder. Whether he even knows it or not.
New Metallica Album so long that it took two beatdowns to get through of the songs? I love it!
