First mistake was accepting Hairball’s Monday request to Q. As the week went by I understood the motivation behind that “friendly” solicitation. He must have majored in meteorology. Early reconnaissance noted that the onsite Eagle Scout project of Philmont’s 2.0 was in need of some inaugural testing……so the Soul Crusher was pulled from the weinke file and loaded in the guns for the few brave men who showed. After 36 hours of relentless threats, insults and headlocks, 6 men came to spit into the wind. [T-claps to Fault Line for being the only one of the pax to post willingly and NOT as the result of significant duress].

Slow mosey around the Day Zero track looking for a dry spot (nope) and circle up on the basketball court.

Moleskin
Went from Wednesday’s heat to today’s gale storm. I thought we were going to have to tie down during the last 2 rounds when the heavy stuff did, indeed, arrive….sideways. Good work by all the pax today. The Soul Crusher was the result of an ill-planned solo workout last spring. Halfway through I realized, to my soul’s dismay, that this would leave a mark. Our course was a little short on the runs, but the wind and rain compensated for that. Surprisingly no threats directed at the Q. Grapevine pounded these out like it was a stroll in the park. T-Claps to the pax who refused to leave an old man alone on a Saturday workout.
Announcments
None. (Ark building begins at noon.)
