Starting the Week with Strength

MOLESKIN:

  • Grateful to have Crimson and Heely join me this morning.  We got some good work in but also caught up during the down time.  Great way to start the week.
  • Crimson and YHC followed up with some 2nd F afterwards at Birkdale Starbucks – thanks, brother!
  • Heely is getting back at it after some R and R with the family out of state.  Perhaps we'll see him again next Monday at the Murph?
  • Speaking of next Monday's Murph – I'll be out of town with the family and won't be able to make it.  Would appreciate it if one of the Arnie's Murph regulars could handle the preblast, counts, and backblast in my absence…..Tuffy, Auto, Gypsy?
  • Thanks as always to Auto and Eeyore for the EH back in June 2016….. so grateful for this group.

Aye,

TC
