But it’s necessary.

13 PAX turned out into the Flood Zone on the banks of the mighty Crabtree Creek for a humidity-filled beatdown.

Extra Credit: The original plan for E.C. was mall-walking partner carries. Rather than poke the security guard bear, the sparse crowd opted for a brief run around the AO to scout the conditions for the main event.

10 Good mornings

Rain Man offered a gracious prayer of thanks for health and asking for guidance to follow and lead with wisdom.

YHC excepted, the Coffeteria for Flood Zone is a true gathering of eagles. Always a bumper crop of banter and wisdom.

Excited to put a bow on year 1 of F3, and heading into year 2 at a faster clip. Grateful for Green Bean and Shake N’Bake for the invitation and looking for opportunities to pay it forward. See you in the Gloom.
