Old school at the Fort

The Fort is where it all started…need I say more. For many of the Pax of the Fort, this was their first post and it set the tone their journey since that time. While the Fort has multiplied many times over since it inception in 2012, this AO stands as the cornerstone for the culture, fellowship and brotherhood for our region.

YHC was excited to be asked to Q and while I had to navigate some calendar issues, it was an opportunity not to be missed.

In preparation for the Q, it was an easy decision to reach out to my Shieldlock brother, DD, to co-Q with me. He and I had been traveling this week and a beat down with some fellowship was just what the doctor ordered to remedy that jet lag.

Buckets returned to DP

Great to meet <@U06UAQUR0MC> and <@U07JQCKBEPK> this morning and we traced through Kingsley to find strategically placed buckets of pain.

At each bucket a pax picked a ticket of pain to execute. Then it was a mosey to the next bucket. :bucket: All enjoyed immensely.

As light came up we thought of those in Florida who will be homeless and those in WNC who are struggling. Prayers for our kids and the anticipation of two of us soon becoming grandfathers. We had a praise report of personal goals being met along with some encouragement of how the pax of F3 can help a man provide accountability and be held accountable.
