Introduction
Righted some tables in the pavilion that were flipped upside down at some point in between Saturdays Ruck Club and this mornings boot camp. Was not part of the plan but was certainly what was needed. Like most things in life, it is easier to do with others. Yhc and 5 others got it done in a minute. Really proud of others willingness to instantly help. Then again, this is what we do.
Wasn’t planning on starting in the pavilion but work brought us there so that is where we did WoR and a brief Thang 1.

Circle of Trust
Designed a Q for you and started the design considering what I wanted to talk about. The CoT was about identity and what defines a name. Either you define a name or a name defines you. Moving forward we will work to define our name/ names.
The workout was designed around identity. I am Qing up a run club tomorrow and Deja Vu was my site Q today. Both reasons told me to not run. That was the hardest part of designing this around identity for me. I remember Bueller telling me that he enjoyed/hated a specific part of one of my diamonds so I brought that back. There were several things in todays bootcamps that I hope people associate to me. Certainly several things borrowed as well. I think pax saw me in the 1st F Work. Talked about our brotherhood and 2nd F Work.
Ended by saying a name isn’t a big deal at all. Where we live is not a big deal at all. The only thing that matters is what we do with our time and in our spaces. We are getting closer to be 100% on mission with more proximate focus and will return to small Men’s workout groups.
Naked Man Moleskin
Loved that Rooney Question what seemed to be a pattern and wanted more so he got more. Also loved that Binford took the time to listen to an older gentlemen as he was pulling into the AO. We were never going to be in the pavilion and might not have noticed the picnic tables were flipped over if Binford didn’t stop to listen. You all know him. He walks his dog daily and we share the AO with him. His dog has a light on him. He was a former mayor of Shorewood. He is one of the most consistent staples of the Wood and our actions will add to our consistency or at least our appearance. It wasn’t just the tables that we righted. Also saw Deja Vu grabbing some garbage.
Plans were modified to take care of both requests. Plans themselves just guide what you would like to see happen. Always modify in real time for men and situations.
