11 PAX moored their vessels this morning on the banks of Brier Creek, hours before Winter Storm Pax would arrive. Not sure when we started naming winter storms. Who knew the Weather Channel has named 12 winter storms this year. Not these Qs.
Shovel Flag: Planted. PAX: Ready. Co-Q: Kind of Ready (YHC was partnering with his Mr. Miagi to Q for the first time).
0600: Time to move.

COT
– Great 2nd official day at The Crick.
– By the way, we’ve named this workout “The Crick”. Mr. Webster says that a crick is 1) a soreness in a muscle 2) a creek. See what we did there?
– There is a cry for a Beta Saturday workout in The Crick. The PAX in these waters feel central to everything and close to nothing. We’ll try it this week. 0700.
– The more time I get with these guys, the better I seem to be. I’m honored to start the day with these men, and humbled to be allowed to Q with Money Hose. Thanks for pulling me into the gloom and the brotherhood.
– Prayers for McGruff and YHC as we travel to Vegas next week.
– We’ll have a Tri-Q in The Crick next week. Kanye’s got the flag.
-We are well into the “You lead…” Phase. Flying colors.
That is all.
