-Had some dog issues this am. Q was late arriving to workout from taking care of his dog, and Conqueror had to bail on posting at the last minute from having to referee a fight between two dogs he is sitting 

-We welcomed a special traveling dignitary today. Puddin’ typically posts at Davidson and is part of the NOSB (North of Sand Bar) water ski crew

-Overheard during the workout: “Is karaoke up the hill too much?” Shortly thereafter, Q strains his calf. Upon reflection, it was more than a twinge but less than a tweak, but should still allow him to waterski

-Arizona gave an update on the recent HamBone nuptials. He slow-danced with a superspreader, and the bride was absolutely ravishing. Pretty sure her name is Steve 

-Overheard during the workout: “I know you should not talk politics at F3”. Lite fuse, and brace for impact

-Q has a lot of AO envy for Davidson. Lotta available props and ability to store things like sandbags behind a church 

-Schwinn showed some great life coaching moments today, or at least served to affirm prior decisions that one should definitely bring beer along when going waterskiing at 8:30 am

-Good multisporting PAX today with biking and waterskiing after the workout. You guys are ath-a-letes.

-Respect all around in the COT

-Schwinn has a bitching bike van

-Prayers for our nation keeping everybody safe this holiday weekend

-Great work men!!!
