Despite the fact that I was reminded just a few days that I was on Q this morning… if it wasn’t for Simba’s late Sunday night “pre-tweet”, I might have missed the workout… so, thanks Simba.

The first time I did the Gopher workout was 2-3 years ago when 49er led the workout.  I know it’s not the most creative of workouts, but it get the job done in terms of cardio and upper body work.  Good work by everyone out there this morning.

I guess I should have explained at the beginning of the Gopher that we would keep doing it for at least 30 minutes or so, as guys were asking, “do we keep going?”  Of course we do!

Had an FNG today introduce himself as “No Name” during COT.  I thought that was his actual nickname.  We went with Care Bear, but No Name wouldn’t have been half bad.

Great work by Booyah… showing up with new toys for the Alexander Youth Network toy drive.
