If you almost chop your fingers off with a hatchet it’s hard to Q a workout. Such was the situation with Tiger Tuesday night just before TRB. After getting the call from Tiger my mind started racing as to how to bring the pain in a forecasted downpour. It’s a food thing because it was a cold rain the whole time. This is what happened.

NMM:

Had a few late comers, little bit of a skeleton crew today. Had some regulars out on different missions today. Get that for sure! 30 degrees today, felt like 28 with the wind. Same air temp yesterday at The Goat felt like 48. So we got with it QUICKLY today! Great work today by all.

Will be coming up with a Christmas day announcement. Right now, I am willing to lead as my son is 22 and not getting up for Santa. Other pax that are in that position reach out via Slack and let us know what the degree of interest is. I am willing to lead this uptown or any other site but let me know!

Prayed out for Preparation over control mindset in these times. We have to be the prepared ones, the examples, the pathfinders, the leaders.

What an Ugly Bunch

December 18, 2020 / / 0 Comments

6.5 PAX (ask Leppard) gathered at Midoriyama for a GD beatdown last night and looked so happy to be there that YHC had to comment on their striking appearance. Should’ve known better as Freight replied with: “Says the guy in short shorts and a leg condom, plus a turtleneck!” (that last bit was a special dig from Blart). Well it was on from there. Seeing the small crowd upon arrival YHC had considered taking it easy, but not with this unruly crew. We proceeded to put in 45 minutes of solid work, which seems to have been every bit as much a mental and emotional struggle as it was physical. Be warned, don’t piss off the Q workout even begins…

Until next time,

GD

Proverbs 18

18 An unfriendly person pursues selfish ends
    and against all sound judgment starts quarrels.

2 Fools find no pleasure in understanding
    but delight in airing their own opinions.

3 When wickedness comes, so does contempt,
    and with shame comes reproach.

4 The words of the mouth are deep waters,
    but the fountain of wisdom is a rushing stream.

5 It is not good to be partial to the wicked
    and so deprive the innocent of justice.

6 The lips of fools bring them strife,
    and their mouths invite a beating.

7 The mouths of fools are their undoing,
    and their lips are a snare to their very lives.

8 The words of a gossip are like choice morsels;
    they go down to the inmost parts.

9 One who is slack in his work
    is brother to one who destroys.

10 The name of the Lord is a fortified tower;
    the righteous run to it and are safe.

11 The wealth of the rich is their fortified city;
    they imagine it a wall too high to scale.

12 Before a downfall the heart is haughty,
    but humility comes before honor.

13 To answer before listening—
    that is folly and shame.

14 The human spirit can endure in sickness,
    but a crushed spirit who can bear?

15 The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge,
    for the ears of the wise seek it out.

16 A gift opens the way
    and ushers the giver into the presence of the great.

17 In a lawsuit the first to speak seems right,
    until someone comes forward and cross-examines.

18 Casting the lot settles disputes
    and keeps strong opponents apart.

19 A brother wronged is more unyielding than a fortified city;
    disputes are like the barred gates of a citadel.

20 From the fruit of their mouth a person’s stomach is filled;
    with the harvest of their lips they are satisfied.

21 The tongue has the power of life and death,
    and those who love it will eat its fruit.

22 He who finds a wife finds what is good
    and receives favor from the Lord.

23 The poor plead for mercy,
    but the rich answer harshly.

24 One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin,
    but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

Pray for Time Frame, Flintstone, Headcase, Rebar, Round Up, Oh Wow, King Pin Squirt.  Lift these men and their families.
