Coming in from EC with Dirt, Flintstone, JJ, Pockets, and Sausage, YHC wasn’t sure how many were going to attend on this cold-ish, damp morn.  By the time 0530 hits, the count had doubled with 13 ready for a celebration.

YHC took us out


Thanks to all the men of F3 and particularly those of Gastonia for paving the 43 feet I have been traveling down for the past two years.  I appreciate the push, pull, encouragement, advise and candor that have been given along the way.  This journey may have made me less of a man in some respects, but it has made me a better man in the ways that matter.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead.

Watts Up Powering Down

 

Folsom 12-Jan-21

Gather around, no FNGs, mosey up to flag pole for pledge, Pledge of Allegiance, mosey to far corner of lower lot.

Time to gamble so the cards were brought out.  Cones set up for proper distances depending on exercises.  I.e. lunge walk 50 yards, sprint 100 yards, etc.

Each man takes a turn picking up a card and we do the exercise as noted.  If you pull a number card (2-10), we do 10 of that exercise.  If its a royal, 25 count and Ace is a 100.

Mosey back to the start just in time for prayer requests, Name-o-rama and COT right at time.

Prayers:  There were a lot men.
Praise:  God is still in control
