MOLESKIN:
Lot of fun and comradery! Good to set some benchmarks and see if we can beat them next time!
Great to see Nuthouse pre ruck sorry you’re backs shot bro! And Beaker for coming to coffee. There’s alot to be said for the workout and the guys who came but the 2 biggest takeaways from todays were conversations regarding Beaker and Nuthouse who weren’t at the beatdown portion….
They both made me realize we are missing alot of guys right now. Guys who can be back in the fold even if that’s just grabbing coffee while they nurse an injury. Guys who despite nursing an injury can come pre ruck or walk or just stand there and get out of bed to help with the comradery. I’m sure I’m missing some guys but recent IR PAX I think of are Al Gore, Nuthouse, OCB, Crash, Family Guy, Federali, Coors, Elsa, Myself, go add a name I’m sure there’s more. That’s alot of guys, especially on the northside, that are missing from the beatdowns and A) We’re missing their production but B) They’re missing the fellowship and kick in the teeth they need to get back and active again. I’m really glad to see some guys making it back slowly as I myself am. Beaker reminded me (He’s not injured just a fart sacker) that there’s no fault in just coming to coffee. I made fun of him sure but added there’s nothing wrong with that legitimately because if coffees all you can do, come do it. You’ll get the bug to see these guys longer when you’re healthy enough to I promise just start with coffee if you can. I also came away from Nuthouse with the PAX that have the determination to do something even when they’re really really hurting. His leadership and grit is inspiring guys, let’s get everyone to give it all they can and show up for what they can.
We’ve got a really big summer ahead of us! Great convos today planning for Memorial Day, 4th of July, Summer Basketball, some new 2nd F ideas, and more. Make NWIND great again, let’s finish the year looking back seeing the progress we made from the first 4 months to the last 8! We got hit pretty hard this Spring, but the flowers are blooming (unfortunately for me) the Suns rising earlier, events are being planned, goals are being formed, and injuries are slowly healing… Let’s run through this brick wall together and make this the best year NWIND has ever had! Lets go!
