Pleasure to lead as always and thanks to Roscoe for leading The Bunker!

YHC was a little concerned when he rode hot into the Ricky Bobby parking lot and found only a few players, as in just the three of us plus Bouquet coming in hot out of the gloom. What it lacked in numbers it made up for in capability and commitment as the story tells here:

4 burpees

Gravel pickers X 20

6 burpees

Grapevine stretches

8 burpees

NMM:

Great work on a great morning! Everyone put it out there. Fun, small group. Competitive! Love that in a quality group. Wish we could have had more players but small circle of friends.

Our wold has changed in macro and micro ways guys. And more to come! Chaos and disorder are the norm. but, they always have been. Our present generations have not experienced it in essentially a century. Quantum physics rules. Newtonian physics is an illusion. Pray hard and prepare guys!
