Eight steel pistons – cold, quiet, and inert – YHC turned the key, and the F3 engine roared to life. Here’s how those steel pistons created F3 inertia:
The THANG:

- CIRCLE MERK !!! x3
COT:
- Counterama #
- Namerama
- Announcements (included below in Comments)
- YHC Prayer
NMS:
- Slightly colder and damper than expected, but a glorious Q nonetheless. It seems 8 men makes a near perfect PAX for maximizing the 3 F’s – healthy mumble chatter, equal pairings, and minimal waiting for the 6. While running between COP’s today, a light rain and breeze refreshing my awareness of Life, YHC worshipped God and gave thanks for the leg and heart strength to find joy in this fitness. This Spiritual perspective was further heightened to hear of the sudden passing of Big John, just in his mid 40’s. Life is precious. Keep EH’ing to get the guys you know out to join our fellowship. Let’s make the most of today, and every day, by the grace of God, and to His glory!

– Prayers for those who knew and loved “Big John” – memorial service today – Conspiracy and Doozie will be there, and Gumbo will be Q’ing an upcoming workout in his honor
Well done DTH! Nice variety…which is always welcome. Liked your comment: “a light rain and breeze refreshing my awareness of Life”…great reminder to find peace and joy in the small things.
Enjoy your Friday fellas!
Well done DTH. LOVE the No Cheat Merkins. Those shall return for sure. Agree with Tobit – smelling the roses or feeling the drizzle – amazing when, how and where you can find a moment of joy or peace. The gloom heightens that perspective for sure. Always great to start the morning working hard with you guys. Well done!
Grant Montgomery Clark was born this morning around 11:30ish. Congratulations to Greenbow and his wife Jennifer.
Fantastic. Hope everyone is doing well.
I have not had a chance to talk to him yet but his Face Book post says mom and baby are doing great.
