MISCELLANY:
– Kudos to hambone who finished the exercises first — his reward? Extra Tuck jumps.

– Kudos to CubCadet who tackled Night Moves last evening and then climbed out of bed to hit Nashville’s most respected AO.
– Welcome to Grifter (Travers), who lives in the Nations and was looking for a workout group to help with accountability and provide a social outlet. He’s traveled the world from Bali to Sri Lanka to India (by motorcycle) and clearly has some interesting and enlightening tales to tell. He also is into cryptocurrency, runs a short-term rental business, and has a 2.1 due soon. Hope to see him back again soon.

Honor leading the PAX who continue to make me stronger and better. SYITG, Vector
