THE THANG: 25 Merkins and 25 4 count LBC, then up Everest. Rinse and repeat for 3 trips total. 4 round was at the base of the space needle with one trip up the Space Needle. A game of tackle the skunk was then considered but ultimately rejected by all the pax but P3 had to be called off the chase. We did some toe merkins and core work at the home office and then worked our way back to the AO, stopping to bear crawl, lunge and broad jump a few times.

Were it not for the presence of a most welcome visitor I might have forgotten the disclaimer, so thank you Steak Knives (F3 Cape Fear) . I will repeat the disclaimer here in case anybody missed it this morning:
-F3 is not responsible for your injuries; Charmin (John Willis) is.
-Asylum is the first and longest continually operating F3 AO in the continental United States, and is statistically comprised of the best looking Pax
-The Q Source is an ongoing collaboration between Matlock (Bill Maddox), Cosmo 2, edited for clarity by @Tecmo. It is Asylum’s gift to F3 Nation.

Disclaimer out of the way, we warmed up with an appropriate pre-birthday Q number of SSHs. Steak Knives (F3 Cape Fear) got the Junk Science to take back to the fine men of Wilmington NC, may they all enjoy 10 more years. Shoulders blasted, some light stretching.

Like all my attempts to be like Double Wide, I couldn’t quite measure up, but we sprinted and walked down the winding path and route 66ed our way back, Sweep Or Be Swept. I hope my future grandchildren appreciate all the getups I did for them.

ATMs to finish, as is only right.

For the BOM I thought about three friends of mine and their experiences of faith – not having any and wishing they did; having some for a time and then rejecting it; and having it land on them through a disaster, and being brought to life by it. Prayed for Paul’s procedure today, and for Cinco (Scott McGuire)’s road trip. And for my friend Carol.

What a pleasure to be out in it with you guys this morning. Thank you!

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT: Sunday (if it’s the whole day) is 14% of the week x52 is 14% of the year, and if you live 80 years it’s 14% of that.
One hour a day is 4% of the day, so if you do 2hr church on Sunday, Wednesday, and 1hr study a day it’s about 18% of the week.
How good are we at being Christ-like if our focused time is that low? Are we truly trying to live His life the other 80% of the week?
