Strong work guys! It’s a beautiful day. Take a risk and do something new.
Happy veterans day to all those that have served!
Motivational quote of the day that I forgot to include in the BB:
Theodore Roosevelt – “Citizenship In A Republic” delivered at the Sorbonne, in Paris, France on 23 April, 1910
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
Great job on your first Road Warrior Q. Certainly did a better job at keeping us all together that @SunDial
@Birdcage tried to pull a @PapaJohns at the end there and THOUGHT he was going to pass me at the finish line. He’ll have to get some real shoes to pull that off. No way I get beat by same cat wearing Vibrum five fingers…
Give me a pair…
Someone said the other day “@Hootie should get a pair” Don’t think they were talking about shoes though
