It was an honor to be asked to Q for Apache’s 1-year celebration. He’s one of our favorite sons down here south of the river. He’s an encourager by nature and has never met a stranger. He’s the reason many PAX have come and stayed with us over the past 12 months.

Thank you for being that leader, that leaders will follow. A gentleman’s gentleman that has all the right words to say…
Aye Apache
Great Q to represent a great #HIM. Thanks for the prayers and i’ll enjoy the recaps while I recover 🙂
I’ve been wondering for years what this so called “stairway to heaven” was (metaphorically speaking, bc I’ve only been F3 for 2+ mos.) NOW I KNOW! Glad you poached a little time Italian Job. Great Q men! However, I like celebrating anniversaries with my wife better…though this is a close second. Aye!
We will finish Merkin Mountain another day.
Merkin Mountain has a nice ring to it. Sounds like something peaceful. Maybe a song…
Apache, you are a true #HIM. And Popeye, I’m not sure whether that was a whole bottle of #DRP that he took before that first workout, or a bunch or Pre-workout. Probably both…
More than likely both. Haha
