We spoke about upcoming race events, our current mileage challenge, Frosty being a bum for calling people out in GroupMe and then fartsacking, tramp stamps, fall break vactions, and kids.  It was a good run.

“we are what they grow beyond, that is the true version of all masters”  – yoda

I not only spent some time with my 2.0 prepping for the 2.0 workout this weekend, but I also spent time watching Star Wars on Netflix.  This quote from Yoda really hit me because if we replace “masters” with “fathers” then that should be our goal.  That our 2.0s grow to be better people than we are.  That they grow to love one another, love God, and do more to make this rock a better place to live.  Our goal as fathers is to teach them the ways to do that and to eventually equip them to be strong enough to go out into this world and make it a better place.  I encourage you to go home, teach your kids how to be strong, how to love God, how to love others, and how to prep them for taking over the world.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“greatest teacher failure is” – Yoda

I was watching Star Wars and Yoda told Luke Skywalker this quote.  It means that when we try something we may fail, but we learn from those failures, and we get back up and try again.  What did we learn if we fail?  We learn not to do it that way.  What if we learn if we don’t try?  Nothing, and again we have failed.  I encourage each of you to go out and fail, learn from it, and do it again.

2.0s in attendance were Charger, Fierce, Herminey, Leah, Chicken Nugget, Tumbler, Danger, Camelback, Jump Shot, Yoda, Champ, Warrior, Speed Demon, Brotherman, Stryker, and Haley.

MOLESKIN:
Lots of thunder but the 2.0s powered through and were super pumped to participate and get named.

I also have a confession to make, I dropped the ball and 2.0 workouts got put on the back burner for far too long.  I feel bad and I promise not to let it happen again.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
This AO time is usually a light ruck themed AO, but since no one was listed on the Q I assumed most of the regular attenders (Frosty, Butters, Wallball) were out of town.  I signed up to Q because I know some of the guys in attendance this morning are in the home stretch of completing the “Super Ocho” (or event to be named later) where they post at each of our Knoxville AOs.  I didn’t want to leave them hanging if the normal crew was MIA.  I think this is a great challenge to get out to every AO and see the options Knoxville has to offer.

My apologies to Butters and WallBall since I made them leave their backpacks in the car, but maybe next time they will sign up to Q…

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

This months AO vs AO challenge is distance.  So log those miles.  Also anyone can join at anytime.

Tank is leading a kickball tournament on 8-18-18

Truckin to the Pound is currently being planned for late summer early fall.

F3 Olympics are happening this fall most likely to coincide with our 3rd year anniversary. Stay tuned.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I spent 5 days on a road trip with my 8 year old son, and while I thought I would teach him a lot of things, he is the one that taught me some stuff.  I wish we could all see the world through an 8 year old’s eyes.  The things we see everyday and ignore or take for granted, or don’t give God credit for are amazing.  I know I don’t always say the right things, do the right things, or take the time to just let God work in me and let me see His creation as He intended.  But seeing it through my sons eyes I do get to see it.  I encourage each of you to go out and see the world better, treat the world better, and make the world better.

MOLESKIN:
Our man Steam ventured into the Dog Pound for the first time and brought an FNG Dinger along with him.  Glad to have you both in the gloom.
