Thirteen hardy pax braved the sub-freezing temperatures at StinkHill this morning; however, sunny skies made it a most enjoyable start to the weekend and things warmed up very quickly.

Counterama and Namerama (while holding plank) preceded YHC’s sharing of the following passage which reminds us all that our God is one of second chances:
This I recall to my mind; therefore have I hope. It is because of the LORD’s loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his compassion doesn’t fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
– Lamentations 3:21-23
No matter how many times we fail, he will always forgive us. We should all keep that in mind during this busy Christmas season as we become frustrated with lines, traffic, and the inconsideration of others.

YHC’s request to FreeFall’s beautiful fiancé last night at the company Christmas party paid immediate dividends as she did indeed kick him out of the fartsack this morning… we’ll see if she can duplicate the effort tomorrow.
The morning started out a little shaky for SeaWorm as he promptly locked his keys in the car, but it did offer him some benefit as he got a little break from the beatdown when Pop-A-Lock showed up.
In an effort to create equitable partnerships, YHC tried something a little different by lining everyone up from lightest to heaviest and pairing the front with the rear. Interestingly enough it resulted in pairing YHC with Gandolph… the two oldest Pax (sum total on the plus side of 120 years). Guess that was appropriate given the name of the first event in The Thang. We held our own with the young bucks as best we could… May try pairing oldest with youngest next time though 🙂
Keep giving it away,
