    Well, at least I know I'm guaranteed to have my job back after the politicians get their shit together

    I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

      Isn't that the same as saying "when Hell freeze over?"

      Think it, be it.

        i am anticipating it being like this for the remainder of the term of the current President.  hope things don't go that way but i'm fully prepared for it as opposed to last year at this time.

        nowback on track, i've been trying to figure out layers to wear for late October. i'm thinking some of that moisture wicking quick drying stuff so when i get dunked i won't freeze my a$$ off for the next few hours.

        i really think this is going to suck, but it will at least give me a better idea of what to expect for March . . .

              My Goruck challenge is looming. October 26th, and I haven't done anything physical in over 4 weeks. I'm screwed.

                Same day as mine. If I didn't think the drive home would be so bad. I'd switch to yours. Not sure if Monday will be joining me or not.

                  it's a lite we'll be fine. only way i won't be doing it is if  (knock on wood) some unforseen circumstance comes up.

                  I'm eating a donut talking about doing a GORUCk challenge

                  nods head & laughs nervously

                  good luck seawolf, you doing the full blown or a lite/light? i think someone else might be doing one around that time . . . .

                  looking forward to this as i'm stressed the hell out & this sounds like a cheap vacation, hahahhahaha

                  i'm screwed

                    I may be on the otherside of the world, but you guys have my respect. I look forward to following closely over the next 4 weeks, but then the 4 weeks after.

                          That waiver is unenforceable.  Besides, even if it were, if you die, Tuesday and the kids still can sue, since you didn't (and can't) waive their right to do so.

                            yeah, but i can see them getting deposed with all the discovery showing how much of an idiot i am & all the dumbsh!t i do.  when they roll the tape the court reporter would probably fall out his/her chair laughing.

                            they would be lucky to get two quarters to rub together, hahahahahahahahaha

                            this is going to be soooo bad, but my gig & real life has me stressed, so this is a good stress reliever

                              You've got it all wrong- after their testimony, the jury would give them truckloads of money as a reward for surviving living with you. 😉

                                  Just tried to get a furlough discount on my lite & it didn't work.  Figured it was worth a try  :-[.

                                  Still haven't gotten an email with my packing list & where to show-up. Also where you fellows get your bricks from on the cheap? I think I may need one or two in a few days.

                                    They have not reached out to me either nor have they returned my phone calls. Not very happy. Last time they reached out to me a month in advance with packing list, Facebook page etc…

                                      they told me f^ck off pretty quickly about my request (in a very nice way but still).  when i get out of jail i'll send them an email & see if they respond to me.

                                      where you get your bricks from? i need some light ones, hahahahahaha

                                          home depot. Also available at HD, gorilla tape is much more reasonable than the exorbitantly priced red white and blue tape GORUCK offers, and no way anything could be any stronger than that shit.
