Naked Man Moleskin:
_ Today's Chuck: Chuck Norris can cut through a hot knife with butter
_ Folks, the Rapture apparently did not occur on (some people’s) schedule Saturday, but the AG gang did meet two of the four horsemen of the apocalypse as MickeyThomas and RedWarrior made their leadership debuts and brought contrasting but equally challenging levels of pain to the crew. 3xclaps.
_ 3xclaps to five FNGs: James Stouse; Mark Cooper; Will Gaines; Scott Haenni; and Bo Tison. Nice work, men. Hope you’ll all be back.
_ A Kotter to Warthog, reappearing at AG at the front end of an 18-beer day that ended 18 hours later on a bus back from Charlotte Motor Speedway – Warthog
apparently none the worse for the wear.
_ Epsteins to: Dredd (soccer); The Rock (Longhouse?); DarkWarrior (!) (Falling Creek); SweeperBoy (rumored to be on the DL).
_ Jar of Flies to BlackBird. Where were you, brother?
_ From RW: It's hard enough to recall 35 names when you can see everyone; but with the soleil @ 45 degrees, vision was impaired for the Qrusaders facing east. Don't mind a little sweat but should we roll back the QAG 30-60 min as the dog days approach? If not, need to consider a horseshoe of trust formation. just sayin...
_ More from RW: While the second group was executing on the platter at the conclusion of the session, Moniteur felt compelled to add a burpee @ the start side of the platter for each lap, a clear indication that RW did not bring enough pain to the field this am as a FNQIC. Pain meter will increase next time. Just plannin.’
_ Growth Update: The Rock has been working away, holding lunches and sending emails on this. Please feel free to offline him or collar him for lunch or coffee if you’d like to give your thoughts on the best way to handle growth of the group and the best way to plant potential new groups.
