FIELD NOTES

• Today’s ruckus crew grew by 50% to include YHC, Blue Crush, & The Body
• The respect crew was definitely earning our respect today; The Body (site FNG) crushed the entire workout while wearing his ruck sack, Hugo was among one of the first finishers, and Mr White (Site FNG) completed his mountain before time ran out
• TCLAPS to the sky Q for the amazing display of colors on the eastern skies this morning
• Red Sky at Night is a Sailor’s Delight; Red Sky in the Morning is a Sailor’s Warning. Red was in the display and storms are forecast for later today
• some of today’s crew had a few “comments” about today’s selection of music. When you Q it you can DJ it too. . .
• Again it is an honor to lead. The mantra is true, it never gets easier, you get stronger.
• There was a lot of good mumblechatter on the merits and mistakes of the prosperity gospel and its proselytes. To that YHC can only re-tort with, All glory to God most High! He takes all men, just as we are!
