NMM –

The morning started off pretty normal. Did some stretching, some chatting then headed west on a mosey. This is where things got weird … our Q, Winona was a bit fixated on Qing up the tunes and suddenly went down. We are still investigating the security footage but there was either
1) a sniper that took him out 2) a random pothole that occurred overnight 3) Deep State tripped him or 4) he didn’t see the speed bump. All signs pointing to 4.

Pedialyte swooped in to do triage and the rest of us took a mosey around the mini diamonds and circled up in the lot. When EZGO asked “Who’s gonna Q” obv ATQ piped up and off we went.

BH –
Prayers up for Movin on Up’s family as his Grandfather passed away earlier this week.

Praying for our children specifically those in middle school dealing with all that goes along w MS.

413 Strong Signing Day on Friday. Hit up Red Skull for details.

Coffee talk was mostly YHC riffing and the others eye rolling hard.

To the best of my memory – who is Rooms 2 Go, Ludwig’s getting some bumper plates, Ben Folds use of “coterie”, Mean Girls, is the answer in the question, developing leaders, best burger in the USA, crack fries, apologetics, Sewanee.

Plans are merely a thing to be deviated from. ~ J. Garcia

So, I designed today’s Q yesterday and had a few leftovers from my last Q at 413. Per usual, I deviated and the above is pretty close to what happened.

Thank y’all for letting me lead. Pretty good total body workout for the crew with some dynamic movements, primal movements and some Broga moves to get breathing back under control.

Solid work from the HIM today. See y’all next week.

NMM: Dusted off an oldie but goodie this am. The mosey between rounds added just the right amount of time to get us through the am. Always like counting off in 1s & 2s to give guys a pards and someone to push and be pushed by.
Loved seeing CAPSLOCK back out in the gloom. Great example of living third in his decision to move to Philly to help his M take care of his MIL. That’s self sacrificing leadership and what F3 is all about.
Last week’s FNG, Voodoo has become Mr. Consistency over the last 7 days and has steadily improved. VQ in the works?
Nice work by all the PAX this am. Thank y’all for letting me Q. Hope to get more guys out in the G this summer and make a big push as we head back to school in a few weeks.
BH: Prayers for humility in our handling of others and our day to day. Prayers up for the young men at 413 as they finish their last week of this class. We also lift up CCR’s friend, Suzanne and her recent cancer diagnosis.
