    It was great to catch up with some brothers I have not seen in awhile as Offshore has been posting north of the wall we have seen each other more and it has been awhile since a Nancy Lopez sighting, always great to catch up with Chum Bucket too. We were talking about having a 2nd F next week so for those that need to check this box for the summer tour, please plan to come out to Dots Back Inn. The beer is cold and the apps are awesome!

    YHC signed up for this one awhile ago knowing this was the 4 year anniversary week from the first post in F3. What a ride it has been so far and appreciate all of the great people that I have met. We have worked out, had a beer/bourbon, coffee, run races, ridden bikes, cooked meals, built ramps, rucked, laughed and prayed together. YHC has had many firsts also, likely not to have even been attempted without this brotherhood of men. I look forward to many more workouts and fun times for years to come and thankful for you showing up and posting for various workouts as it is always a great day when you plant a flag, workout, circle up and pray to start the day.

    Humbled and honored, see you in the gloom soon gents, Cheers…CB
