AO: The Clarion (Wendell)
Workout Date: 07/10/21
This would be my first trip back to Wendell since their grand opening. Iverson would be out with work concerns. Mater, my first FNG who had stuck around, was a maybe, depending on whether he would be in town. I showed about ten minutes early to an empty lot. I did a quick grounds check/pre-mosey. When I returned, I chatted up the two or three PAX who showed up while I was off. We were just about to start when a white flash blew down the street past us to the school entrance. Mater made it just in time! Who knew a Tesla could go that fast? Stryper rolled in shortly thereafter and we got started.

7 PAX. Welcome FNG Tarzan! (We almost named him Sledgehammer since he was a Genesis fan, if you think Tarzan is too strong)
Carpex Dads on 7/17 at 9am, led by YHC at full Metal Jacket AO
South Wake/Carpex Q Swap Week(s): Last week of July in South Wake, First week of August in Carpex
NE Wake The Deacon is coming September 18.
Prayers spoken and unspoken.
I don’t remember who took us out.
Naked Moleskin:
I still can’t believe a Tesla can haul like Mater had it going!
Tarzan was recruited by Sharkbait from his early morning church exercise group. Hopefully he can bring more out in the future.
Sharkbait was concerned I was going to call 7-11s. I did consider it, but the soccer loop told me Rack Em Stack Em.
Bus Drivers are horrible if you have a big rock. I realized in the middle of the rock work that having one partner pick a big rock and one pick a smaller one would be good for situations like that in the future.
Great coffeeteria afterwards as well.
This was my seventy-fifth #F3Q21 #2021Challenge Q (seventy-seventh overall). Next Q is Monday at Agoge in NE Wake.
