5 pax joined YHC for the first week of the Turncoat MQ regime at #TheMightyOak, for which I took the Q because I of course wanted to start the year off right, set a good example, etc., and totally not because I just failed to secure a Q in my first week on the job.

0530 – mosey around the lot with buttkickers and carioca.  Circle up, disclaimer.

MOLESKIN

  • Thanks to the pax who joined YHC this morning.  Cobains for not finding a different Q after Q’ing half of the transition-of-power workout last week.  Hopefully that’ll be my last Q at TMO for a while.
  • It was unseasonably warm this morning.  EMOM kept us moving, and I was hoping for maybe 5-10 sec rest between sets, which we generally achieved during the first two rounds.  Round 3 we had a tick more time to rest, which the pax didn’t hate.
  • Pax (especially The Force) were disappointed that MQ did not call more cadence in my first week on the job.  What can I say, it’s good to be my own boss.
  • Great to have Beave join the beatdown.  It’s been a minute since I last saw him, possibly at Fartlek?  C’mon back soon brother.  Would love for you to Q sometime as well. 
  • That’s 2 weeks in a row for Overdose at TMO.  One more = “regular” status.  Keep it up bud!
  • Speaking of regulars, nobody tops Roadie in that category.  YHC is already planting the seed in MQ week 1 for the next MQ transition.
  • Estwing back posting this morning – even with transition of power last week, expect quality control checks to continue into 2025.  He’s also still bird-dogging the light outage situation in the bus lot with Duke Power.
  • YHC will miss next week’s TMO as I’ll be taking an exam early morning in Concord area.  Q has been secured; AO should be in good hands in YHC’s absence.
  • We lifted up Olive and family, The Force mom + family, and Estwing friend in prayer.
  • Thanks as always to Auto and Eeyore for the EH June 2016 – I’m forever grateful.

Aye!
