Nine Pax started their Saturday with an introduction to a Charles Bronson look-a-like.
Weather: 75ish and humid as can be expected this time of year
A little background might be helpful. About a week ago, our AOQ announced he would be out of town for this Saturday workout and that nobody had signed up to Q yet. On Thursday, YHC accepted temporary custody of the Turning Point Shovel Flag and said “don’t worry about being out of town, we’ll make sure the Q is covered.” On Friday, there was a bit of Twitter discussion about a Mystery Q. YHC had not seen where anyone else had signed up for the Q and figured that must mean he has the Q. Simultaneously, Chedda knew he would be in town for the weekend and signed up to Q as “Mystery Q”. At this point, YHC ‘thought’ he had the Q and Chedda ‘knew’ he had the Q. Now, let’s fast forward to Saturday morning.

Start of a disclaimer – Thumb’s Up
At this point, YHC stepped over to Chedda and asked if he really thought he was supposed to be the Mystery Q. After a brief discussion, Chedda reluctantly stepped aside….something about… since YHC had a plan and Chedda was gonna wing it. Side note: Chedda could just throw together an amazing workout in his sleep. Oh, and as for Thumb’s Up? Well, he gave Chedda a ride to Turning Point this morning. So, he also ‘knew’ that Chedda had the Q. He thought YHC was messing around and just jumped in to join in on the fun.
Pray – start working where we stood.

Prayer
Devo
– After seeing “5 Feet Apart” last night, YHC couldn’t help but focus the devo time on reminding the pax to not forget to be thankful for all the things we take for granted each and every day. Be thankful that you don’t have prayer requests for your 2.0’s health today, for your health. In this gratitude, be present today for your M, your 2.0, your brother (for those younger pax) that might normally frustrate you or be taken for granted.
