I was asked 2 weeks ago by Transporter if I wanted to Q Impromptu today (2/25) I told him I would. This week when I looked at the schedule Rockwell was on the schedule. I asked Chastain if I was on Q today, since he does have the master list and I was told he did not see me anywhere on the schedule. 4:30 Thursday Transporter texts me and asks if I am good for today. I told him sure but I think there is some confusion. Chatter then posted on Group Me “I don’t know who is on Q…” Transporter later got back to me and I was indeed on Q.

THE MOLESKIN
I always enjoy Qing at the site. It is a good group of guys and for a lot its the last workout before the weekend. I tried to end it with a little advice or a life lesson that I wanted to share. I was inspired by a line in the “How God Makes Men” book. it said, ” We can endure almost any amount of pain, if we know it has a purpose” I encourage the pax to think about why they come out and do this f3 thing. We need to be able to answer the “why am I doing this?” question. If you have an answer then you will be less likely to have excuse not to do it. I believe we loose some guys because they just don’t know why they are out there. My answer to why am I doing this is for my wife and my family. So as long as I still love my wife and family, I willnot have an excuse to not get up and get at it. So I encourage all the guys to think about why we are out here and use that as your motivation for getting at it regularly. Even on the cold wet and gloomy days you will have a reason to do it.
This was my first time Qing Diesel in a very long time. The weather was a little gloomy but the temps were pleasant. The ground was damp but it was not raining. Everyone was in a good mood and I was excited to be Qing.

I was pretty excited to Q this site this morning. This is a big campus and there are many areas to do different things.

Overall it was a pretty good workout. The weather was pretty good, not as oppressively humid as it has been lately. I had a little technical difficulty early on with my blue tooth speaker, so we went with no music. We ended up with about 2.25 miles of running and still had a pretty good workout with the equipment.
Announcements:
Christ’s Closet this weekend. Fuse box stepping down as the site Q
Watchtower has struggled this month with the new Q month but Brett Havertine did the AO’s at Watchtower a solid by stepping up and giving away his Cherry to us on his VQ. and boy did he deliver. Any delay on this backblast falls squarely on the site AO. Ricky Bobby. Not trying to make excuses but I had a tooth extracted today and did not have the presence of mind to help Inspector Gadget put it together.
After a short mosey to around the main parking lot:
THE WARMUP:
21 men showed up this morning between Impromptu and Swarm to celebrate the 99th day of the year. The weather was fantastic and the overall mood of everyone seemed light. The reason I chose to celebrate the 99th day of the year is that I had no idea what other theme to use or what other significance April 9th had in history. (other than Robert Jenkins ear being cut off by the Spanish Guarde Costa in the Caribbean , later being the catalyst for the war between Brittain and Spain) – but how do you build a workout around that? So 99th day of the year was the theme and I set out to do 99 reps of each exercise but upon thinking about that for half a second, 99 reps seemed rather aggressive, so I just picked 4 areas to workout with a total 99 reps at each area.

This morning Watchtower’s own site AO – Tom Evans – Schneider, stepped up to supervise a workout at his own site.
