Seven brave men, or men with questionable judgement, showed up in the pre-gloom for the first Ruck at the Cougar. The moon was spectacular, the weather was perfect and the fellowship was the best part. More told the tale of how he got locked out of his house and his wife, sleeping with ear plugs, didn’t let him back in. I think we’ve all been, ‘locked out by our wives’, earplugs or not, but that’s stories for another ruck. In the parking lot the rest of what would be an 18 man strong PAX awaited and they were eager to sweat, so we got busy.
