Here ye Hear ye, do I Q to write BackBlasts on rainy days fueled by Ganja Gummies? If your answer is yes hit the GanjaGummyEmoji created by TPS Reports in the last challenge. This backblast challenge shall be deemed #BumpDraftNeedstoGetHigh#, if one of you Emoji Wizards can make an emoji for #BumpDraftNeedstoGetHigh# you will receive a blatantly obvious undisclosed rewards.

On to the story, alas on my way home from Green Acres encampment yesterday I realized I was going by Creekside (2 miles out of the way) and could execute a long dreamed up plan I had for rolling boulders around at #theEagle. So I got to it yesterday realizing that each boulder, even the medium sized ones, were extremely dense. Now Count CocaLa works extensively with stones for a living so part of my passion project was to share some of the great gifts for physical fitness that stones can offer. So I lined up 9 of them long the beginning of the field (with the track) just a few yards past the moveable soccer goals. They varied in size from say 40-80lbs give or take. I provided one extra just in case we had more people then expected and/or someone needed a smaller stone.

I tried my best to persuade Scribble and/or dryrub to get their VQ Cherry Popped but alas Scribble already had his Cherry Popped at Kings Dominion much to my surprise and dryrub has a broken rib so my peer pressure had little to no effect. When all was said and done at 11am yesterday the Eagle tribe was left with one lone Cowboy to steer the ship.

Enough foreplay lets get down and dirty…

I introduce the event and explain what it entails and ask if anyone has back issues. I then ask a trivia question with a reward of Burpees count as double for that individual for there team during Dora. The Question pertaining to our RockSteadNotSoEasy workout was "What style of music came after Ska but before Reggae?" Max Power answered Rocksteady immediately winning him and his future lucky partner a Burpee Booster (I turned out to be the lucky one Yippee!).

Music was prepared to play early Bob Marley Rocksteady tunes from his best years of 68-72. It was surprisingly difficult to hear amongst the difficulty of the arduous work we had to do despite the speaker being close to YHC and being at full volume.

The Thang
RockSteadNotSoEasy ('The Stoned Dora")

Traveler roll Boulders about 40 yards down field to the other soccer goal and flash lights, upon reaching that point they pick up the boulders and walk back to startex and trade activities with their partner.

Partner at Homebase does:

100 Burpees
200 Merkins
300 WWII

***Grandpa Ninja created a new technology efficiency method of rolling the boulders backwords between your legs. Alternating this with the traditional forward roll proved to get the boulders moving downfield 27% faster give or take what you ate for breakfast.

***It started raining something awful like frigid ice daggers and I found myself murmuring for my Mommy but quickly sucked it up when I heard Cherry Baked grunting like an oversized oxen calf being weened from his Mommies Bosom.

***Mumblechatter was at an all time low, the one highlight being PrancingHorse extolling that "well now my back and everyone else's is surely injured" (harkening back to my asking if anyone had any back issues in the beginning.

Bob Marley – Rocking Steady Lyrics

Steady rock easy
Rock stead easy
Steady rock easy
Rock stead easy
Steady rock easy
When first I heard rock steady
Thrilled me to the bone
When I talk about rocking steady
You need a baby for your own
Rock stead easy
Steady rock easy
Rock stead easy
Steady rock easy
Talk about the cha-cha
Talk about the mambo
When I talk about rocking steady
You better be ready
To rock stead easy

Steady rock easy
Rock stead easy
Steady rock easy
When first I heard rock steady
Thrilled me to the bone
When I talk about rocking steady
You need a baby for your own
Rock stead easy
Steady rock easy
Rock stead easy
Steady rock easy
Rock stead easy
Steady rock easy
You're doing good
Rock stead easy
Just like you should
Steady rock easy
You're looking fine
