Oh, it was memorable all right……

Preamble:

Oxford’s dictionary defines hubris as “excessive pride or self-confidence”. Thus was the lesson YHC learned when indicating that today’s BD would be memorable. It all started with a little bit of the good banter that is well-appreciated (whether on Slack or in the middle of a beatdown). Evidently, YHC’s VQ for Meathouse wasn’t remembered – ouch – so now was the opportunity to make some memories. However, despite significant preparation, a key element to any beatdown at the Meathouse was missing from the Q’s own person: His Ruck! Thus, tail between his legs, YHC had to sheepishly proceed through the beatdown, no ruck. However, as always, the show went on…..

COT:

Pax are invited to reach out to Dipstick to serve as the Johns Creek Q for the upcoming blood drive in July. Please consider this as an opportunity to lead.

Date for the next Q and BBQ at The Bound is forthcoming. Will be late July, but an opportunity to serve.

Prayers for travel mercies for PAX/families on vacation or business; also, prayers for Popper’s co-worker who is potentially at going to need new employment.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Today’s less in humility was another reason to be grateful to lead. It was a memorable BD, all right, but less so for the physical than for the mental test. Thank you all again for the privilege of leading and the patience!
