MOLESKIN:

  • Thank you Two Buck Chuck for your leadership in rebooting and maintaining Thunderdome at GCC.  Good luck as you give it away and assume the new leadership of Blender.  I can only hope to fill the boots left behind, but am grateful for the opportunity and the confidence.  
  • The Standard prior to Thunderdome is pure gold.  Nothing but straight up magic results from the conversations we have. 
  • Great workout today.  It was nippy at first, but the constant movement helped warm us all up quickly.  There’s a reason behind starting the workout with 50 SSH, not a very good one but it’s there.  Everyone did an outstanding job and didn't have much left in the tank when we finished.
  • I’m going to have to get a Bluetooth speaker, that gave a whole new level of enjoyment with Top Gun playing throughout.  Everything did seem to have a shade of blue when Take My Breath Away came on.
  • We were momentarily invaded by the chaps from #MMM.  Probably scoping out to see how what a hard workout looks like.  I’m sure we will see more of them now that they know this is where the big kids play.
  • The Calendar is Open in 2018, and this year is going to be outstanding!  Sign up to Q or be hounded.  Like Liam Neeson, I have a particular set of skills, and I will find you.  I guarantee you will enjoy it and be back for more.
  • The Patriots still suck.  Nitestick, I know you are watching, feel free to come Q and I’ll be willing to hear your counter-argument.

Aye,

BB
