We had the pleasure of naming 4 FNGs — Grinder who works in the local foundry, Bed Bug who mentioned during the workout that he should have stayed in bed, Shoefly who works in construction for the Amish, and Wiggler who is Teardrop’s youngest 2.0 who raises worms for fishing for the campers at Blue Rock Campground. Welcome!!
During COT, a number of M’s and family arrived bringing lots of food and drink items for a wonderful coffeeteria. We are also blessed to have such supportive wives! At the beginning of the workout when so many men showed up I was slightly worried we wouldn’t have enough food but not so, we had quite a spread with plenty of food and coffee for everyone and to spare. Thank you all!!
Great fellowship with old and new friends
