There’s a sign
Nine men of distinction met in the last cold morning of the Spring. According to the driver in the county truck who views pax working out in the parking lot as unworthy to give a wide berth, here is how it went down more or less.

YHC took us out. Prayers for PAX and the energy to give it away. Thanks for letting me lead.
NMS – Day 4 of week of Q. YHC going to do something completely different but since Mondays PAX found themselves elsewhere, decided to repeat some favorites. Traffic in the normally empty parking lot picked up with poll opening so we had to move locations.
Just out of curiosity, research of the VA code says its unlawful to place political signs on property including in the Right of Way without explicit permission of the owner. It is also unlawful to vandalize signs or remove signs unless specifically authorized to do so. So clearly the way around placing signs on public property is to put them up last minute while no one (that matter) is looking. Fun.
To be clear both sides of todays vote have placed signs on public property – we just witnessed an older man do so while we were touching trees.
In formative years, YHC learned that Integrity is doing what is right when no one is looking. For YHC Integrity = both being forthright and also accountable to actions. Integrity is heavily highlighted at military academies, and that both why generally officers are given an extra level of respect and also why its so bad when officers violate that precept. Finally, concepts like your honor and Integrity are the only things you cannot have taken from you. Do whats right when no one is looking.

Vote Maybe
Seven posted to the Raider Run/Ruck on this special referendum voting day for the State of Virginia. As usual, the starting time for ruckers was 5:33 as many were making their way into the parking lot a little past 5:30. The runners did the farmhouse loop and then into Taylor Farm before returning to the AO. It appears as they were passing Chickahominy Middle School that 6 AM voting was light but had started. The ruckers went somewhere but returned at 6:15 PM.
COT: Numberarama, Name-O-Rama, Announcements, No Idea took us out.
NMS:
It was at most 33 degrees for the run this morning but weather was about perfect with the low humidity and no winds. BAM! and YHC talked about today’s vote as well as restaurants.
Often when electing a person, there is a space to write in a name. When the vote is “Yes” or “No”, do they leave a space to write in another option like “Maybe”? I’ll guess I will find out in a few hours.
As we vote and get the results later tonight, let all remember that we might have different opinions on how to get there, but we all want what is best for our state and country.
Announcements: Memorial Day Convergence – It will happen likely at 7 AM.
Gotta Run!

400th Post
400 is definitely a small number compared to many of the F3RVA PAX that have posted 1,000+ times, but we learned today that 400 is a big number for quantities of certain exercises! 20 HIMs rolled in to The Alamo on this cool morning for YHC’s 400th post. Here is how it went down:

First and foremost, thanks to Heist for pushing me towards F3 and getting me to drink the Kool-Aid! A big thanks to the PAX that showed up today to support YHC in reaching 400 posts. All of you have encouraged me in some form or fashion and I truly appreciate each and every one of you. I definitely wouldn’t be where I am today physically, mentally, emotionally if it weren’t for you fellas! Keep pushing yourselves, one another and future FNGs! Stay blessed!

Prayers for the unborn. Cheezmo is out next week. Prayers for DTH in Nicaragua. Satisfying Big Data…. out.
