Ye Olde Moleskine:
Great group this morning. T-claps to the fellas who ran in: Chico, Kirk, Puddin’ Pop and Bugeater. YHC noted some especially strong performances from Gummy, Brisket, Kirk…and I’m sure I’m missing others.
Wolfman, due to fatherly duties – had to claim LIFO (first out) at 6:00. You can set your watch to it Thursday mornings. Yankee (who also claimed LIFO due to his last in status) still owes us another lap around OP! And good to see Zima posting – hadn’t seen you in a while brother. Also – special welcome to Steinbrenner and Bushwood, both of whom were FNGs to Hydra I believe.
Hydra has become a solid AO, and the pax is always bringing it there. Good work men. Pleasure to Q this morning.
Great sendoff by La-Z-Boy reminding us why we celebrate Easter.
Announcements:
F3 Golf – SignUp – Thursday, May 29th. Bananas is event Q, Cottonmouth handling sponsorships.
2 new 3rd F groups – Threshold in SoPark Wednesday’s at noon. Dunamis launches Friday, May 9th at noon – Moe’s Ballantyne – Iron Horse and Cake Boss are Q’s.
Great showing by Area51 at the USMC Mud Run Saturday. T-claps to Stagecoach who was our Q for that. Lots of the pax talking about how much fun it was; so we expect an even bigger turnout in the fall.

Two pro-level Q audibles this morning – stopping the hand realease merkin clock at 9:00, and changing the full laps to half laps around the school between sets. I thought group 2 had gone for donuts.
Great tailbone workout this morning too. My favorite line of the morning, via Stage Coach: “My coccyx is going to be huge.”
Nice Q Hops. I want to do that Around the Clock exercise again. Not because it was fun, but because I finally figured out what we were doing at 8:00 (I was moving my hands (and not my body) around the clock, and so basically it was like doing diamonds around the clock – and that sucked). Great workout all around – I was smoked at the end. Thanks, brother.
