Fun workout and we took very little breaks and kept the intensity up! Posse was killing it on the stairways to 7’s running up the hill till the end. Shop Dawg Killed Indian hop and was determined grunting full speed all the way!!! Frack, he’s just Frack, grabbed a rock that the rest of us couldn’t pick up and pressed it. Popeye racing me to the end,,,,if i didn’t cheat and cut him off he would have won!!:) Great morning with the pax!

Husband to an amazing wife, father of 3 daughters, recipient of grace I don't deserve. I got it good!
Plan B is an idea we’re working on. A friend of mine and neighbor of Maple Syrup & Slow Pitch is having surgery on Monday for a cancerous tumor next to his pancreas. Rather than wait for our M’s to cook casseroles for the family next week, we asked the patient to come up with a list of chores around his house that needed to be done, but he was having troubles completing, due to his condition. He gave us a fairly short list, but Pax were chomping at the bit to help him.
I have to pause for a second and reflect on that. Here was a guy that only 3 of the Pax knew, yet virtually everyone I ask or tell this story to, want to help. And many of these Pax don’t even live in the same neighborhood. But I hear a common theme each time someone takes us out – allow us to be better men in the community. And I witnessed that it wasn’t just a feel good comment. It was converted to action today. I was humbled that Pax had to be turned away (like Transporter, because of his Dengue Fever at the 2nd F) and there was a sincere desire to do more.
So the Thang of this 3rd F was:
– removing bad mulch from the front of the house
– taking down Christmas light hangers from the front gutters
– sweep the rock salt off the driveway from Ice Terror 2016
– random light bulb changes around the house
– moving a bed from upstairs to downstairs (after surgery, stairs probably wouldn’t feel good)
This was done by Shampoodle, Silicon, Maple Syrup, Legal Zoom, & Shop Dog. Tclaps to Shop Dog for taking us out there with the guy, praying for a surgery guided by the Great Healer.
