Moleskin:
- Heavy Metal is a recipe for insta jokes. Larger teams and rolling clock goals threw a little more gas on the competitive fire. It also created another Second F platform. It also mixed it up. You have to mix it up.
- Word has it that Ben Johnson and Johnny Utah have shared at least 3 trainers in the past 3 years. Utah hammered down the homestretch in pull up camp with a vicious case of the flax seeds.
- Howard, in flipping Junk (quite well), said in his very dry way “I don’t have it….(pause)…I do not have it. I need assistance. I need assistance.” He did in fact have it and he threw that big old rubber tire over like yesterday’s doughnut, but it was worth a chuckle nonetheless over how polite Howard articulated the following: “Hey knuckleheads, I am having trouble flipping this massive tractor tire in this random park while you jokers tell funny stories about recently retired football coaches…If you don’t mind, would you please assist me before I fall over?”
- The Force of the Second F was so strong today that we actually had three separate COTs. Once at the top of the hill with Junk being put to bed. Once back at the backstop (Phase IV discussion of Petrino) and once more in yours truly’s yard. Simply great.
- Mule, Mule, Mule. Saddle up the mule.
- Door to Door. Married. This Weekend. Good luck and godspeed, Brother.
