    Short Sale, Whoopee

YHC showed up at the Coconut Horse a little before 0700 with evidence of F3 PAX vehicles in the parking lot.  JJ and DDC came running in from the loop around 0715 as scheduled, then Oompa Loompa a short time later.  Next came Rebar running with a Ruck on.  (running with a ruck is not recommended…ask my right Tibia).  We knew Gavel was still out there somewhere and we waited, and waited.  Whoopee showed up for Q Source and at 0728 YHC did the nameorama and announcements and closed in prayer.

Short Sale showed up for Q-Source.  Still no Gavel.  YHC called Gavel but no response.  After grabbing coffee we started week one on “Cowboy Ethics” with YHC on Q.  Someone mentioned that Gavel had returned after JJ had tracked him down.  Apparently he took a left on the Greenway instead of the right and ended up at Lineberger Park.  Whoopee expressed significant empathy for Gavel as he too has experienced a lack of sense of direction.  To his credit, Gavel refused the ride back to the Horse and returned safely under his own power.

Do you have a personal Code?  The Code of the West brings us back to the simpler times where men lived by honoring the Golden rule.  Authenticity, directness, humility, confidence…where a handshake was as good as a contract.  Back to a time where fundamental principles of right and wrong and personal character, not job title or bank account is the true measure of a man.

Short Sale with the Q next week if you want to learn more.  Live each day with Courage…..
