Today was day of celebration. Got to see more than a few old faces return to The Gloom. Hal and Rickroll came out and crushed it. OG DOI braved the mean streets of BC to visit The Wall. Bright Idea blessed us with his presence and phallic shaped sweat patterns. Even got to the share The Gloom with my son, Huffy! Can’t accurately convey how awesome it was to share space with an absolutely solid group of HIMs this morning.

Have sincerely missed being out in the Gloom the last three weeks. Having the ability to post pulled from me only makes me even more grateful for F3 and its HIMs.
And speaking of gratitude, Slayer very eloquently posted something on Facebook that I feel is worth sharing. He had the opportunity to complete the recent GoRuck event in honor of our own Rambler. He posted about his “why”. “I choose…because I can and such a choice is a luxury that could be stripped away at any moment.” So very well said IMO.
So be grateful. Exercise your luxury of choice. Do hard things. Do good things. Choose the harder right.

The Legend of Shuggah Shack continues to expand. Evidently the man has some SERIOUS ping-pong skills.
