  • Apparently El Tigre is the new head of the Belmont chamber of commerce and will come have a drink with you whenever you are in the Belmont vicinity

  • What about LBC fest?

  • There was a new weight vest on display today It was not the normal under the shirt / stealth vest kind, this was more of a cross your heart push-up bra/bro kind. Adding the extra weighted pasties was a nice touch

  • MIL F3 is currently in need of a master Q for momentum Monday’s. Would hate to lose some of the collective momentum, although Q typically only posts on Mondays that are holidays with a 7 am start time…

  • Was good to hear that a workout Q borrowed from another (Cards) was exported to The Mighty Jungle this weekend by Twister with positive feedback

  • Back on the ice this week with a curling training camp this weekend. And this one time, at curling camp….
