22 PAX braved the Vulcan AO’s first temps in the mid-40s and the predawn darkness to post in the gloom!  It is staying dark in the morning for one more week before the Daylight Savings Time transition next week.  YHC is thankful for the dedication of these men who motivate each other.  What a great feeling it is to GET BETTER together as we sharpen each other!

COT:

Q was inspired this week to reflect on his primary calling (what is the “why” behind everything I do?), and invited PAX to do same.  When primary calling is clear, then the secondary calling (or “what” we do everyday) becomes more focused and impactful!
