On the eve of the 3/24 installment of F3TheForge, YHC posted to Tweeter an old backstage guest pass from the 1980s AC/DC For Those About to ROCK America tour. Because we were about to. Rock dominated today’s Forge menu.

The Forge is a place of inspiration. A place of history. A place where men become Men. A place where leaders are born. The origin of greatness. #forgeyjudgesbrownnosing

And today, leaders would be forged from ROCK. Carrying ROCKS, that is. Gimme the ROCK, and let’s go.

Moleskine:

Didn’t appear that Quixote knew what Chum (CLT) was getting him into. All the same, he, like his namesake, bravely tilted toward the windmill known as F3.

YHC hated to miss a previous Q engagement due to the inclement wintry invasion of February. Good to return nonetheless and see this one through.

ANNOUNCE:

  • F3 teams joining flag football to benefit Neighbor To Neighbor on 4/18. See Zima or MacGruber for details.
  • GORUCK October 17th. You should absolutely do this. Ask Singlewide and do it.

COT:

Prayers requested for Hush Puppy and Warhol’s dad. For Chum’s family members as his sibling’s family prepares to move to S Africa for missions work. For others in difficult circumstances, including families of the men who fell from the scaffolding in downtown Raleigh.

Thinking of Hush Puppy and Warhol’s dad was a solid reminder to be grateful for the dads we have who image and reflect what our good Heavenly Father is like—gracious, patient, providing for us, and with us.

Chum took a knee and prayed us out.
