ANNOUNCEMENTS: Q University this Friday at Patriot, Grunt, Vote!

COT: YHC shared about Old Rag hike this past weekend. The first time YHC did it as a little kid he was fearless, second time was frightened of the high ridges, this time less frightened as it was dark and did not see the dangers.

Often we are either conditioned to be afraid (parents always worrying and telling us to be careful, or projecting their own fears and anxieties) or we develop fears from life experiences, scars, hurts, etc. The alternative is to look at life as an adventure, see risk as an opportunity and lean into the fears.

It’s not too late to recondition.

Date: 2024-10-29
AO: atlantis
Q: Gherkin

COUNT: 8
WARM UP
SSH, Hillbillies, Imperial Walkers, Popeye’s Punches, Michael Phelps, WMH, Down Dog, WGS, Cobra Kai

THE THANG
PAX broke up into 2 groups. Each team took turns picking a state out of a hat and recorded how many electoral votes that state provides. The PAX from both teams did the exercise required. The exercise rubric is 1-8 electoral votes: Burpees (133 possible)
9-13 electoral votes: Merkins (137 possible)
14-29 electoral votes: Mountain Climbers (2 legs = 1) (144 possible) 30+ electoral votes: Monkey Humpers (single count) (124 possible)

The blue team jumped out to an early lead by unexpectedly winning Texas but red was able to fight back by snagging Florida and California. Ultimately after 23 rounds, red was able to secure the 270 votes needed to win.

MARY
F3 Supreme Court said we were out of time.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
• The Grunt – Saturday Nov 9, 7am, meet at the Lincoln Memorial • Meetup at #edgeofreason for Thursday’s 0600 beatdown.

COT
Politics has become very divisive and toxic. The MSM and social media have been amplifying and thriving on this division, with each side imputing evil motives to every action the other side takes. Fortunately there is more that unites us than divides us and YHC is trying to find those areas of common ground.

My hope and prayer during these next couple of weeks and in the weeks and months afterwards, is that we can all find some way to tone down the rhetoric, acknowledge the good and bad in both sides and build-on the common ground that we share

“You don’t have to invent the wheel, but you might want to be the company that invents the rims.”
