Quaker gained 30 pounds during the workout as his 100% cotton gear absorbed most of the puddles on the road. Water weight for sure. With 160 Iron Crosses completed, #TClaps to Lambchop for his knowledge of workout accessories, which was shared amongst the PAX. Tentative open house dates: Sunday late-afternoon April 15, 22 or 29 – need PAX feedback on availability. Prayer, done.

The PAX were outstanding this morning in terrible conditions. Honored to be with them. Turnpike.
