Introduction
I felt like Rodney Dangerfield. Storm Chaser, actually said, “You get no respect.” Lol. Pi 3.14 will celebrate Pi Day tomorrow and he told me to, “Hurry up and Grow Up already will ya….”
I was the youngest Pax by 10 years.
It was my honor and privilege to lead these men through this 4 corner ladder. Once the first man finished they doubled back to pick up the 6 so we all finished the main Thang together.

Circle of Trust
Told the story of Hernan Cortez and the Burning of the Ships again because it is an incredible, true story. I did it for a different reason this morning.
As we all progress forward, it is important to recognize things that get in our way, identify excuses, label energy vampires, and burn down our ships so that we can’t move backwards.
Naked Man Moleskin
I really enjoyed working with these 5 men. The youngest two are 10 years older than me while Bunny Hill and Ozinga are 13 years older. I look up to all these men for different reasons. (This is not an insert short guy moment).
Ozinga is the first person I met in Shorewood, as he was dating my neighbor. We are both into making and building things. I have been trying to get him to come out to F3 since I started. I recognize that there is a possibility that I can make him faster. I know he is way stronger than I am and I am sure he can push me to be stronger. It was awesome to have him out again today. This was his second post ITG. His first one was our convergence. He skipped leg day yesterday to join us today. #Stronger Together!
