21s
In Unison and in a two count, PAX does 21 SSH. Reps 1-5 are out loud and reps 6-21 are silent and everyone must stop together at 21. If don’t stop all together, 5 burpees OYO.
The PAX failed to end together at 21…so 5 burpees OYO. YHC saw that there was time for one more set so that the PAX can redeem themselves, but they failed again….5 more burpees were in order.
The PAX moseyed to the bocce ball courts for The Thang.
THE THANG
Bocce Ball
Split into two teams
During each round, plank, Al Gore, squats, or whatever you want to do while it is not your turn.
First player tosses out the pallino or jack (white ball) – has to cross the midway point.
Then the first team tosses out a bocce ball attempting to get as close to the pallino as possible
The 2nd team tosses their ball to get closer to pallino than the first team. If so, their ball is “inside.”
2nd team continues until they get a ball inside or have thrown all their balls.
Once all balls are thrown, the team with the most inside balls get points and wins the round and chooses the punishment (exercise) for the other team while they choose an easy exercise (reps will be at a 10 minimum either IC or not for punishment group and AMRAP for the winner group)
If a group wins by 2, then it is double the reps
If a group wins by 3 points, triple the reps
If a group wins by 4 points, quadruple the reps
If it is a tie, then the Q gets to pick the exercise and the whole group does it.
Before next round, mosey to the American Flag and back.
Next round begins with the winning team starting.
Group 1 won each round and picked the punishment for Group 2. Played about 5 rounds.
Omaha was called and the PAX headed to the grassy field next to the bocce ball courts for some Mary

Circle of Trust Message
Gipper shared his COT message today about how today is “National Do Something Nice Day”. This day encourages us to perform acts of kindness for strangers or loved ones.
Whether it is giving someone a random smile and hello to assisting a neighbor or friend to volunteering with an organization, let us add some kindness and good to this world today. Lemon Law shared an example of his daughter sharing a smile with a little girl the other day and how that smile brightened up that girl’s day.
Prayer
Prayers for a couple PAX members and their families.
Gipper brought everyone in a Ball of Man for Lemon Law to pray us out.
Aye,
Gipper
