28 PAX came out. Some rucked, 1 ran, and most played frisbee. The Hub was missing some key players, but Kato made up for it with his non-stop chatter.

BACKBLAST 6/11/22 – Ultimate @ The Pig Pen
PAX: Ginger Billy, Banshee, Tony Perkis, Vector, Bessie, Mustang Sally, Chatterbox, Minion
We played some ultimate on the perpetually wet grass at the Pig Pen. Tony Perkis lost the bottom of one of his cleats and finished the last game barefoot. Mustang Sally had a rough fall on the track trying to get to an overthrown frisbee and was left with a pretty gnarly scrape. Those were the main highlights. Continue to pray for growth and for many to grasp the vision of what F3 can be in Kouts.
BACKBLAST 4/9/21 Ultimate @ The Pig Pen
PAX: Vector, El Mago, Bessie, Mustang Sally, Banshee, Tony Perkis, Chatterbox, Minion
After a four month hiatus, eight pax gathered at the Pig Pen to play some ultimate. There were rumors of a couple newcomers joining us. These hopes were dashed when we woke to a snow-covered field. I was glad we got to eight to come. The games were competitive throughout. I somehow didn’t win a single one (which I’m totally not upset about or anything). It was good to gather at the Pig Pen again. Praying for this group to grow and that men would grasp how much a group like this can impact their lives for the better.
BACKBLAST – BIRTHDAY AT THE PIG PEN
On my way to Kouts, I wasn’t completely sure anyone else would be there. It was somewhat of a relief when I saw Bessie doing some warmup laps around the track. It wasn’t long before Mustang Sally and Gingerbilly showed up as well. So this is what we did.

10-1 Motivator
19 Windmills
19 Hillbillys
19 Perfect Squats
57 Moroccan Nightclubs
19 Side Bends w/coupon (each side)
Mosey to the Playground
THE THANG:
Starting at different station, each Pax did 19 dips at the parallel bars, ran to the tree did 19 merkins, ran to the pullup bars and did 19 pullups. Repeato for 3 total sets (57 of each)
Mosey to the track
At the start line, with coupon, each Pax did 19 curls, 19 overhead presses and 19 skullcrushers
Run 100m to the line and 100m back
Repeato for 3 total sets (57 reps of each)
Mosey to the basketball court
Ladder #1 consisted of 12-1 starting with a run to the opposite end to do 12 WW2’s, run back and do 1 bench press w/coupon. Then 11-2, 10-3, etc……..
Ladder #2 consisted of 7-1 starting with a run to the opposite end to do 7 Diamond Merkins, run back and do 1 Scorpion Drydock. Then 6-2, 5-3, etc…..
Circle up under the tree.
MARY:
19 Flutter kicks (w/coupon overhead)
19 Low Dollys (w/coupon overhead)
19 Birddogs
57 LBC’s
10 Fire Hydrants each leg
This was intended to focus on strength, so I hope each of the pax got a little stronger after this morning’s workout. Seemed like a good workout, and Mustang Sally sure kept things light with his humor, which I appreciated. Gingerbilly as usual was cranking out solid set after solid set, and I was also impressed with Bessie, given that he pre-ran multiple laps for about 15 minutes prior to the workout.
Thank you guys for all the birthday wishes, both the men at the PigPen, as well as all the wishes on Band. You guys motivate me and bless me in so many ways, I’ve lost count, which is saying something! Seriously, thanks so much, and may the Lord Jesus bless each one of you abundantly. If I had one birthday wish, it would be that each of you would draw closer to our amazing Lord, and become more and more like Him. We’re all at different points in our journey towards that, but He is faithful, and will draw us to Himself, we just have to allow Him in.
Hope the guys in Kouts appreciated all the sets of either 57 or the trios of 19 that added up to 57. Or at least the math involved in it. I know I had a hard time with a couple myself. Thanks again, and hope to make it out to Porter County again soon!
BACKBLAST 9/11/21 Ultimate @ The Pig Pen
PAX: Mustang Sally, Tony Perkis, Banshee, Minion, Bessie
Four pax milled about hoping for more to show up for ultimate. Multiple options were discussed once we realized it would only be four of us for most of the time. We ultimately (see what I did there) decided that we would play some two on two. Tony Perkis went undefeated for the day. Everyone was tired by the end. Bessie was there for a few minutes to run a couple laps in preparation for his big paintball game later that morning and then left because one of his five kids always has something going on. All four pax came to Minion’s place for some coffee and good conversation about topics that ranged from Mustang Sally’s tendency to say unintentionally inappropriate things to the privilege enjoyed in Kouts when you last name is Birky. It was a good day in spite of the low numbers.
