There were some weak links in this Lizard Organization!


* Just kidding.  No weak links today.  Just a bunch of #HIMs.

On a cold-ish day at Emmaus we did:

0430:  Slow-ish running with Jedi and YHC.  Mostly in the neighborhood by Birkdale village.

0445:  Ruck running with Blackberry, Red October, and Two Buck Chuck.  Looks like there was also a coupon involved and they were still moving pretty fast!

0500:  Joined by Jaws, Jingle Bells, and Mini Me; more running.  Mostly on the greenway which was wettish.

0530:

Coffee and Q-Source discussion on Chapter 3:  Group.  Link:

Some read the materials in advance.  Others were appropriately shamed if they didn't.  Just kidding.

We had a lively discussion which included:

  • What type of Organization is F3?
  • What type of Organization is F3 LKN?  Other regions were discussed as well.
  • Changes in F3 LKN over time, and how those changes contribute to what type of Organization we are.
  • Other, related topics.  It was a great morning.

Moleskin:

  1. Blackberry, Red October, and Two Buck Chuck already look ready for the "Star Course" ruck adventure coming up later this year.  Would estimate they were moving faster than 10 minutes per with their rucks and coupon, which is beastly.
  2. Mini Me and TBC are both 5+ years in F3 and their experiences were very helpful to our conversation today.  Believe everyone else is in the 2-4 year range.  Would be cool to see some more 1st year guys at Emmaus next time (looking at you, Mr Holland!).
  3. Great 2nd F with Jedi.  Among other things, we talked about, no kidding – how great his team at work is including Blackberry.  Aye, it's easy to see Blackberry's personality and drive paying dividends in the workplace as well.  Let the records show Blackberry held his ruck up longer than Red or TBC. *wink*
  4. Jingle Bells is back!  3 posts last week and 4 this week?!?  Thanks for bringing Jaws out, lol.
  5. If you are uptown around lunch time, and could spare some time to see the swearing in ceremony, details:  When: Friday, 1/25 Time: 12:45pm (to get a seat) Where: Courthouse, 832 E. 4th St., Charlotte, NC, courtroom 5370, 5th floor Wear a sport coat.

  7. Thank you Jedi for the opportunity to lead today.

Aye, Turnpike.
