8 PAX: @Michael Bolton @la-z-boy @Slippers @hokeypokey @JoePa @Harry Caray
(Cubs suck) @uber @Pile Driver
Warm-up:
Stretches on the Subaru.
The Thang:
8 hardy individuals embarked on an adventure through the lands West of the
Ashley. We traversed muddy hills, we navigated swampy marshes, we looked
fear in the eye and said “Not today, fear, not today”. Cool little route
though, thanks @Greenhorn for the attempt last year, we got her done today.

Rolling COT: True Friendship
Inspired by the book “The Dude’s Guide to Manhood” by Darrin Patrick
What TRUE friends are NOT:
– Acquaintances – people we share anecdotal stories and trivial
experiences with.
– Drinking buddies – these guys may take a bullet for you, but they are
not willing to challenge you to be better.
– Fans – cheer you on as long as it benefits them.
What TRUE friends ARE:
– Known – they know your hopes and dreams and hold you accountable for
striving towards the goals.
– Celebrated – men struggle with being genuinely glad when other men
succeed. TRUE friends celebrate your victories with you.
– Challengers – willing to point out the bad fruit and pull out the
corrupt root.
– Servants – Not just distractions from the pain of mistakes, but help
you to improve and walk though the consequences with you.
Practices of Friendship:
– Presence – gather regularly
– Productivity – something deeper than themselves brings them together.
– Perseverance – to face hard conversations and hard times
Do you have genuine friends?
How can those relationships be cultivated?
There are many “F3-esque” principles found here. Stay engaged with your
brothers and participate in all 3 Fs.
