Naked Man Moleskin –

After absconding for two weeks with a back injury, It was good to be Back in the saddle. After we launched, there was no looking Back…

Prior to launch, as we gathered in the Gloom to await the 0530 light switch flip, we pondered Agony’s post about Expanding Your Sphere of Influence (which can be found at http://f3nation.com/2013/10/28/determining-your-sphere-of-influence/).  After relaying the story, and confirming that the guy in the story was only servicing the single Mom’s cars at the Body Shop, He does a great job of discussing the importance of finding your dolphin and daffodil.  We took it a step further to throw in a little bit of @IronMags message from two Sundays ago – that we are called to fellowship and out of our comfort zones to really get to know our Brudders so that we can help them discover their #D2X and see if there is room for us to #LockShields or to facilitate it with someone else.
