Uhaul was spinning the tunes by request which meant 80s and 90s rap hits. It is clearly a spiritual gift for him and the Pax appreciate it.

COT: YHC had not Q’ed in some time and while I laid out a clear disclaimer, I failed to recognize that we had an FNG brought to us by Cohiba. Thanks to the pax, we were able to remedy this and provide him with a good name and explanation of F3 and the core principles.
I left the Pax with a question…what times in your life have truly brought you joy? Its a question that I was journaling about last night. What stands out to me is my wedding, the birth of my girls, seeing my girls succeed at something and the fellowship of the Pax
What has truly brought you joy?

15 Pax chose to make a downpainment on the day and learn more about Whetstone this morning at Colosseum. Rebound is leading the charge to educate the Pax on Whetstone and Shieldlock and incorporating Qs to discuss these topics. YHC was excited for the opportunity to Q and added a Blade in Maximus for additional pain and discussion.

Barely had time to make it back. Some may say YHC didn’t make it back by 0600, others may say that we were way early on Central time.
THE THANG:
National Trail Day begged for trails run. So did Pusher’s trail shoes he hadn’t used. Glorious morning in the Gloom, with lively pax and a virgin trail journey by Assassin.
For those keeping score, we covered 5.5-6 miles by cruising down 160 to horse barn Greenway entrance, right down no name trail to the service rd to Cantrell to Lake Haigler for a pause at Badger Memorial bench/tree to pay respects to loop around Lake back to Timberline trail on far side to Kingsley trail to back entrance to Kingsley taking us home.
along the way there were stops to “water” the foliage, hydrate via normal ingestion or a swim (Olaf) and plenty of mumblechatter.
COT: Message today honored Badger and Pusher together. Badger’s early passing proves we aren’t guaranteed anything. Pusher’s desire to take on trails along with many late age humans wishing they’d played the game of life more aggressively as they come to the end teaches us to #TakeMoreRisk as we live each day
thanks for the Q stick Pusher!
The Q “came in hot” to the AO and thanks to Backdraft the Pledge of Allegiance was completed.
THE THANG: Run to FMGC.
At each green:
5 Burpees
10 Merkins
