Check Your Gauges!!!

24 Jax Pax showed up in the gloom for a Pyro Beatdown. I think most of them were really more interested in how our AO at Memorial Park fared through Hurricane Irma. Also about 14 Pax doubling-down with a Pre-Anchor Dolly Ruck or Run.

Conditions: dry and surprising not soggy, but that soon changed with the 1000% humidity

Good to see a lot of new faces. I think everyone was just ready to get out and sweat since most were caught up in storm clean up, watching kids because of no school all week, and just plain ole cabin fever. YHC had a little something, something in store.

Naked Moleskin / BOM:

YHC spoke about having to help a friend replace an alternator in one of their cars. But they didn’t know what that dashboard light meant. The dashboard lights in your car are supposed to be “idiot lights”. Some are green, others are yellow and then you have some that are red. We are always checking the most common one .. our fuel gauge. How many times have you ever run out of gas? If you’re burning the candle at both ends, you’re going to make a mistake. KNOW your limits. Also sometimes we don’t always check our own gauges. Having F3 gives us the ability to hold each other accountable when another pax can see our gauges and keep us in check.

Contrary to belief, it’s not my goal to have any of the pax merlot. One of them though is to keep everyone together and make sure the pax gets a thorough beatdown and hopefully a little smoked. Great work out there today men!

Lots of prayers requests regarding friends, relatives, coworkers, etc. that are still affected by the storm. We lift everyone up and hope we can get back to normal soon.

Always an Honor!

Peace Out – PYRO
