Tobacco Road is near and dear to me, as it was the site of my first tentative post on July 12, and site of my first tentative Q a few months later.
Showed up solo to that first post not knowing what to expect, and was always glad that I didn’t know just how hard it would be. Might not have posted in the first place.
Grouped with Floyd and Kia that first time, and between Kia’s encouragement and Floyd’s blessedly distracting mumblechatter as he tried to land on the perfect F3 name, YHC somehow made it through – and got hooked. (Floyd did, in fact, come up with Cosmo, BTW. Wonder how many FNGs he’s named in his 6+ years…)
Fast forward to this morning, my second Q at Tobacco Road. Present were two neighbors of mine who have jumped into this thing with both feet, Scapula and Bellhop. And, wouldn’t you know, a solo-posting FNG.
Couple of thoughts occurred this morning as YHC tried to rid himself of all those rubber soccer field pellets.
It’s been gratifying to see the growth and gung ho attitude of my neighbors – Scapula rucked 2.5 miles to the ME today! Really cool to be able to pay the gift of F3 forward. Currently working on EHing a few others.
It was also really cool that they and others looked out for the FNG as he toughed out his first post like a champ. What this thing is all about.
Now realizing that all my BBs turn into these philosophical, soft-focus paeans to F3. A thousand pardons. So let’s just get to the PAIN, BROS! GRRRR!

Floyd added a call for folks to join the planning committee for The Bull 2019. He’s created a channel on Slack called BullQ_2019 for those interested.
Boucher plugged The Wolf Churham Convergence this Saturday from 7-9 at Duck and Weave in Hillsborough. Looks like they’ve added a 6 am EC Ruck as well.
Just like at my first post, Floyd came up with the winning FNG name, S’mores! Will let S’mores explain the origins of it next time you post with him. Welcome!
Ended with prayers of thanksgiving for our FNG and for this F3 thing.
Always an honor and privilege to lead. Aye!
