ME HEADCOUNT: 14

Today was YHCs 5 year F3 anniversary. Mine and Golden Pinky’s are a few days a part so I reached out to him to see if he had anything special in mind and honestly, to see if I could copy. Check it out here: https://www.f3austin.com/?p=6354

Question of the day “What is the the longest line you have ever waited in and for what purpose?”

Also it was freaking cold today. Awesome job by 14 PAX to brave it and to earn $210 and for $49 in doge-coin for CORA. Thanks for Nighthawk, Brotox, and Bada Bing for matching pledges. P.S. I checked and according to Darksky it was 45 degrees on my first F3 day. Still seems a bit cold for me

COT

So I stole this quote from Inky Johnson but it states “Commitment is staying true to what you said you would do long after the mood that you said it in has left” or as my dad always said “It seemed like a good idea at the time”. This morning workout was the perfect example of this as I changed some ideas multiple times not only through the workout but on the drive here. Golden Pinkys Q’s are no joke!! But also this is a good reminder to push through these cold weather months, try not to over commit this holiday season, but if you do, don’t forget that mood you were in when you did and try to enjoy it as much as possible. Its always worth it and I think this group helps provide that. Thanks to everyone who has been part of the 5 year journey. Many good years still to come. Aye!
