18 men of MECA dragged themselves out of bed after a three day weekend of indulgence. Despite eating too much, maybe having a few cold beverages and losing sleep because of fireworks going off until late the night before we had a good turnout and effort from this distinguished group of men.  Slow mosey around the parking lot to the front of the middle school for warm up.

The Naked Moleskin:

1. Second time Q’ing easier than the first. Almost missed this one since the Fitbit alarm did not go off. Fortunately little voice in the head woke me up at 5:22 AM.
2. Subdued crowd this morning but larger than expected. Not a lot of chatter going on. Think the aforementioned factors from the weekend had something to do with it. Still a great effort and start to the short week.
3. Great seeing some unfamiliar faces from other AO’s joining us.
