Ye Olde Moleskine:

Good turnout at Anvil.  Bunch of the pax doing the pre-KB or 10k swing challenge or some such.  Great to have Pele back out after a short hiatus.  Prayers for you brother with your dad passing and M’s cancer fight.  Some mumblechatter but not as much as normal from the likes of Bananas, Busch, Spackler, etc.  Perhaps the workout was sufficiently painful?  YHC was fighting a head cold, but hope the pain administered was adequate.

Found out at 3rd F Aftermath that today is Busch’s 39th birthday.  Hope he did 39 extra swings.  Had I known – we all surely would have done 39 burpees or something to commemorate.  You owe us 39 of something Busch!

Good to see Brutus out as well.  4 or 5 posts for him now.  Keep coming out.  Hacksaw was pushing himself on the runs, too – great job pushing yourself.  I can see that former college athlete inside you – keep posting my friend.

As always I count it a privilege to Q the Area51 pax.  Great group of men.  Thankful to be a part of this.

Solid closing prayer by Young Love.
