“Gloves are highly recommended” was the tweet that went out Wednesday night… note to those not on twitter.. Get a twitter account – Sputnik who is still living in the age of the cold war.

The day started a little slow as YHC must have turned off the alarm in his sleep but woke in plenty of time to rouse the family, feed the kids, do the morning stuff, make coffee, grab water, and then head off to the stinkiest workout in F3.

Flag was planted, some good natured banter was shared, Billy was ribbed for his running during VQ, Riptide introduced FNG [HS friend of Chong Li], YHC graciously loaned a pair of “stinky” gloves to Sputnik, and disclaimer was stated with lots of errors but point was made and we were off.

NAKED MOLESKIN: Once we arrived at the Depot, there was a man and his grandson waiting for the next train. The grandson, ~ 8 followed us around the Depot and watched us and sharpen ourselves. I hope it is a memory he will remember.

With arms a bit on the spaghetti side as YHC entered his 4th F3 F1 in 4 weeks, he was a little gassed and asked the PAX after the prayer, “What are you kids most excited about over the summer?” Swimming was unanimous, swim lessons, several going to camps, some have summer jobs.

Thanks men for this opportunity to Lead Guide and Serve. If you have not had the Q experience, GO FOR IT.

Getting up for an early morning workout is a small decision.  Choosing to make that same decision, regardless of the circumstances, requires character. Fountainhead
