Moleskin:

All Pax took care of business today. Toxic came in hot and ran to meet us. It was good to see POS back at it again as we haven’t posted together in a while. It was also good to see Flo again. He showed his dogs who the Alpha is. Mounds, Wreck it Ralph, and Bowser are the 3 Amigos and crush it every time. They also like to show up Toxic. Troll took his anger out during the log throws. Shaken Not Stirred went toe to toe with Toxic today. Lambeau requested MC Hammer for his ‘Mericans/Decline ‘Mericans reps (YHC likes his style). It’s always great to start the day off right with F3 brothers.

-There are plenty of Q slots at all AO’s. Please sign up. For new Pax, volunteer to lead/Q (we’ll help you co-Q). For you seasoned guys, sign up for some Q’s.

-Invite a FNG or brother you haven’t seen in a while who’s a Kotter. Invite that #just1 who needs you more than you know (an invitation is a powerful thing brothers). If none of those work for you, just show up. No one will be left behind, but it all starts with the discipline to take one step on your own.

Until next time…
