Was That A Bear?

Light crowd with some regulars away so only 6 at Crossroads. 3 left early for a bike ride and 3 ran. The bike riders were chased by a chunky, black dog that looked kind of like a bear! Seuss and Round Up looked gassed when they returned and I should have got a picture of that as they rarely look tired. Pizza was flying around Dallas making it look easy as usual. 5 stayed for discussion on Trust. We discussed how we should all be striving to be the person, husband, father, friend, coworker and neighbor that people can trust.

Almost Forget My Q

So it was about 9:00 pm Monday night, and I see a Slack notification come up.  It’s  Pilgrims Progress talking about
Boudin with the Q at The Storm.  I immediately start to put together work out.  Show up the next morning and rain is in the air.  9 PAX show up in the gloom.  We say the Pledge and we are off on a mosey to get the blood flowing.  We take a lap around the parking lot and ended under the awning at the school.

Cruel Summer

The clock struck 7:00 a.m., I looked at Termite who was the Q of The Yank to let him know.  Typically the The Yank Q warms both groups up, so we moseyed down to the parking lot.  When we got to the parking lot Termite took control of the situation and promptly asked me to warm the group up.  No problem, SSH, Merkins, Morrocan Night Club, Squats is all I remember because they were not part of the Weinke thinking Termite would lead the warmup.   The two groups split up and 7 PAX stayed for the bunker.
