Aye! 3 brave men left the warm confines of the fartsack and headed into the icy gloom to Stonehenge for their daily downPAINment. Kotters to Frehley’s Comet for coming back after missing last week for some reason that I can’t remember.

COT
Moleskin
– Very solid effort by the pax today. Small numbers absolutely did not mean small effort.
– Tclaps to Frehley’s Comet for the double down pain station. Like the way you think brother.
– Honey Bee has some wheels. Guy can definitely run fast. No wonder his marathon debut last weekend was a 3:30! Solid work brother.
Announcements
– Please pray for Short Sale (Jim Fagan) who broke his wrist at the USNWC Convergence today. Heal fast brother.
– Lots of GORUCK Challenge training opportunities for pax taking part next month. Even those not participating can get a new form of downPAINment at these workouts. Something extra special planned for Stonehenge next week. Stay tuned.
– Continue to pray for The Shore and his family with his fathers cancer and for Byron and his family for the recent loss of his Dad.
Great quote was shared with me this week: “Comparison is the thief of joy.” Very simple and true. Think about it.
