An odd number of nine rather oval shaped men came to the Quarry in anticipation of some hot chocolate Ovaltine to pair with the planned workout. Words cannot adequately describe or convey the look of utter disappointment upon their eventual realization that there would not actually be any Ovaltine.

Nine is most definitely not an even number. Q had some partner exercises in the queue for today that would have been uncomfortable on many different levels, but a late arrival of the odd number who was not carpooling with another even number dashed that option

Q probably could have handled this better, but the ensuring audible went better than expected

If you find yourself in the 6th grade and are peer pressured to inflate a prophylactic while on recess on school grounds, be sure it’s not the lubricated kind. And that’s one to grow on

Cicatricial ectropion in ichthyosis: a novel approach to treatment,” Detlef Uthoff, M. Gorney and C. Teichmann, Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, June 1994, vol. 10, no. 2, pp. 92-5. The authors, at Eye-Hospital Kiel-Bellevue, Kiel, Germany, report:

“An uncircumcised youth with total body involvement from ichthyosis developed bilateral upper and lower ectropion. The penile foreskin was the only possible suitable donor site because it seemed unaffected by the disease. A circumcision was performed and the foreskin divided into four separate full-thickness skin graft triangles to treat the four-lid ectropion. There was successful resolution of the eye symptoms and a watertight closure. To our knowledge, this is a unique case in which penile foreskin has been used to correct cicatricial ectropion.”

Welcome Marker from LKN to the MIL F3 crew. I missed some of the pleasantries due to a diagnosed case of magnesium overload from too much Ovaltine the night before due to the documented relaxation and sleep benefits, but I understand he typically posts at the East Lincoln outpost. Great to see you out, and hope to see you again

Great work men!
