Moleskine

  • It’s safe to say that Costa Rica very much agreed with Q’s crew. Highly recommend the country

  • Did ya’ ever hear the story of the gigantic bikini clad bachelorette party mamas that tried to take a banana tube ride on the ocean with a jet ski towing them? Hilarity ensued

  • Not sure if Pax was genuinely interested in hearing these tales, or if it was just a delay tactic

  • The brick workout was modified as appropriate. Some used bricks, some used pavers, and some even abstained from bricks

  • It’s quite ironic that Slow Roll has a Grip problem. Holding bricks that is

  • 30 year High School reunion festivities have a way of aging oneself. There are concerns on attending the event solo since Q was so cool in school and may potentially be a target or conquest for divorced classmates

  • Let’s give the old double finger salute!

  • It’s an honor and a privilege
