AO


Two dudes came to Cobalt and entered the squared circle knowing full well that only one would be allowed the opportunity to exit. Since one of the participants entered the squared circle wearing a non-sanctioned weight vest, it was not considered to be a fair fight.  Read on….

  • Pax questioned Q’s lack of layering at the start of the workout. Have not quite figured out the cold morning (31 degree at launch) routine yet, but once the fires were burning it was all good

  • The weight vest comes with no weights. You can start by adding play sand to give it some weight, and if you strive for extra credit, you can work your way up to filling it with weighted buckshot

  • Delicate domestic strategy in play of not being able to ask spouse in advance to stay later at the holiday party, but also not being opposed if she wants to leave early and leave you there if the opportunity presents itself

  • Shocker to nobody, there was a fair amount of beer talk today

  • Surf is being groomed at work to get some media training for both internal and external video promotions. Pax was encouraging and noted that he really has a face for radio

  • Phone upgrades on the xmas list this year. Nothing worse than investing quality work time ordering new phones from an offshore sales center

  • How many sets have we done so far again?

  • The MIL F3 crew seems very up for 2nd F opportunities, but nobody is up to putting in the work to allow one to enjoy said 2nd F opportunities with a clear conscience. Fartsackers, all of yooz. No bourbon for you!

  • Great job yooz two!
