Introduction
I woke at 455A, unsure what happened to my alarm, but i was graciously reminded by Putz at yesterday’s coffeeteria of my Q fartsack back in August….i guess my subconscious is watching out for me afterall. Made good time and was ready to Q at 516A…not bad.
A chilly 18 degrees, but fortunately, the wind was minimal. I got the pax moving in a hurry.

Circle of Trust
Lots of serious business these days, and it is pretty great we can always count on F3 mumble chatter to lighten things up, which is possibly moreso the reason we all get out here in the gloom so often and so early. But I thank each and every one of you for that.
For my CoT i’ve got a dumb joke I heard a while back that got me giggling…..
A man’s walking down the street when he spots a sign outside a house that reads “Talking Dog for Sale.” Intrigued, he walks in.
He sees the dog, not sure what to ask really, says “So, what have you done with your life?”
“I’ve led a very full life,” says the dog. “I lived in the Alps rescuing avalanche victims. Then I served my country in Iraq. And now I spend my days reading to the residents of a retirement home.”
The guy is flabbergasted. He asks the dog’s owner, “Why on earth would you want to get rid of an incredible dog like that?”
The owner says, “Because he’s f**king a liar! He never did any of that!”
Father, forgive me for the aforementioned Fbomb but it gave some needed flare to the joke.
We thank you as always for getting these men together in the gloom no matter the elements, we are grateful for our health, our families, and for all we have, I ask you to please keep your hand close to our hearts and souls, continue to guide us through these turbulent times like only you can. We pray for ‘PRAYER requests’ and for all those unspoken, in Jesus name, amen.
Naked Man Moleskin
It was cold, but we forgot pretty quick.
No liked how my Q started at the bball courts, the PAX mumbled…things improved from there.
Fast mosey was real.
SITE Q Dr Ralph was put to the on time test as I needed time checks regularly.
Dr Ralph delivered well on the announcements, just ask Roach Coach.
Many went to Coffeeteria, and we collectively established it takes approx 23 minutes for the workout warmth to dissipate and the cold to take over.
It was a good morning.
