CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I’m coming up on my one year wedding anniversary. I have been divorced at a young age so i have really leaned into my marriage and am trying to be a better husband every day. Looked into the Q Source for some wisdom on marriage. Couple of great quotes:

The Key to the meaning of life ” Enjoy life with your wife, whom you love” King Solomon

There is no 50 yrd line in your marriage, meeting your M halfway is not good enough. A HIM must drive the ball the full length of the field, regardless if your M ever breaks the huddle.

The HIM knows if he fails at his M, nothing else he does matters.
MOLESKIN:

Great to have Brown Shorts out from F3 Greenville SC
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
HH coming up, we need all PAX to help get the obstacles up and ready for both AO’s. The Arsenal will also need some support in building its new obstacle.

“Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which in prosperous circumstances would have laid dormant” Horace (Roman Poet)

we talked about our nation’s wounded veterans and first responders and how they overcome adversity With the help of operation enduring warrior. We discussed the Hardship Hill and how they can get involved.

MOLESKIN:
I was expecting an absolute downpour this morning, but gladly took just a steady light rain. It was actually kind of refreshing kind of like doing a Nestea plunge into a pool while holding an ice tea. I always enjoy coming out to the bomb shelter, guys here are solid hard-working dudes. Did you know that The Hall of Fame Pittsburgh Steeler Lynn Swann was born in Alcoa. Although he moved to California to grow up, we can still claim him as a Alcoan. I have been a lifelong Steelers fan my entire life, but really haven’t watched much football in the last 6 years. Don’t care for the product anymore. What I do care for is a nice pizza pie. I’ve had pizza every day this week. Am I getting sick of it?….no. That and Mexican food I can eat pretty much every day. Although my bowels would disagree with me. Speaking of, as I mentioned to Woodshack this morning, I had the urge to go mid work out. I don’t think that’s ever happened to me. Thank God it subsided. My son came out to F3 and got named backsplash because he could not get it to subside. Don’t think he cares for that nickname too much. Well I’ve got to get going and get ready to have some breakfast with my father-in-law. He is a great guy and I’m happy to have him in my life. Everyone have a great day and I hope you enjoyed the work out and back blast. If so post a gorilla 🦍 emoji on the slack post, you will be a part of the very Exclusive I read tanks back blast club.
