Mosey back to container to deposit bells and COT (except for Springfield and Crimson who went to the front of church to talk about their feelings).

Notables:

  • Springfield showed up early at 5:29:30
  • The little bit of Mumble Chatter I heard consisted mainly of angry explicitives.
  • God blessed us with crisp cool weather
  • BAM BAM complained about no music so YHC played Bam Bam's favorite song "Wagon Wheel" on repeat right next to him.
  • Bam Bam and Bunyan were throwing around wrecking balls with a handles. You are real men.
  • Master Po predicted that it would take the entire time to complete the work-out. The YHC was not convinced. Po was dead on.
  • The YHC felt honored that Bunyan said that he wished Bogey had Q'd.
  • Everyone did an amazing job. This was not an easy one.

Thank you Dallas for the opportunity and it was an honor to lead this morning!
