Today was YHCs birthday Q and I wanted to do something special. Unfortunately it has been a tough week on the home front so I didn't have a lot of time to come up with something original. Then it hit me, how about reaching out to a few PAX and ask them to run a part of the workout. And to make make it really interesting, how about I dont tell them it was a full partner Q. If there was ever a day for leeway, my birthday would be it right. Thankfully each of the PAX I chose jumped at the chance and didn't ask many questions so the "leadership by delegation birthday Q" was on. Special thanks to Paper Jam, Marky Mark, Homegrown Berry, and HAL for helping em out

COT/BOM:
So as I get older, the one thing I start to really notice that is changing is my appreciation for comfort. Many PAX love to give me crap about the attire I wear when I think its cold. This past spring break I learned I can no longer do cheap motels on the interstate. And this past Tuesday I really made an ass of myself by yelling at an opposing baseball coach because he wanted to keep playing in the rain while me and my sons team were just miserable. I say all that because on a rainy Friday morning at 5:30 to see 16 other men join in a workout means more to me than most people will ever know. I can't thank you guys enough for all the support over the years and just keep doing what you're doing. Until next time. Aye!

Moleskin:
– Mayo in coffee will impact your draft status. Same for eating bananas with the peel
– Even if your boat/canoe is sinking there is time to make jokes about not being able to get it up.
– Coffeeteria after the Wall is fantastic
