Under the waxing crescent moon, 5 PAX gather this morning looking to get better. T Claps to those members of the StrutBrigade that were able to part ways with the fartsack. Today is the 2d and last installment of the Socrates Saga – with 2 Qs, back to back and also an added bonus of a Rockpile Q this morning.
Today’s selection of music as you read is from one of YHC’s favorites, Van Halen, at the height of their awesomeness, with the classic song, “So This is Love:”
Disclaimer (like anyone would confuse YHC with a professional trainer), no FNGs noted, opening prayer, and off we go into the glorious dark Strut tundra:

Naked Moleskin: Another great effort by the PAX in attendance. With the absence of Fiji and Monty, the quiet was strange. YHC hopes you all enjoyed the “Week of Socrates” as much as I did. Soon YHC will celebrate 6 years of F3, its hard to remember what it was like before that. YHC is grateful for the relationships formed over these last 6 years. Cheers.
Prayer requests/praises:
- Fiji and his M and his family
- FOB’s dad
- Blind side’s daughter and family
