• Weeks ago YHC was made aware the new launch in Laurens had no Q.  Juggernaut, one RED Friday morning, declared this fact, looking straight at me, therefore I felt compelled to step up and volunteer for such a worthy undertaking. I’m so glad I did. However, understanding the mentality of F3 is #GIVE2GIVE, I decided to GIVE Sugar and MM the opportunity to GIVE a Trio-Q. They, much to my great pleasure, accepted.
• The plan was, all pax who wanted to journey on this adventure together, meet at the Epicenter at 5:45 a.m. to roll. Some pax were running a little late and coming in HOT, Juggernaut. He did not slow down for the speed bump, at all. There will be more about speed bumps later. Juggernaut pulls up behind MM’s vehicle, leaves his car running, gets out, and we begin to assess our situation. It’s very clearly determined, there is no need for Juggernaut to drive. MM and Southern Belle are driving. Juggs, you ride with Southern Belle. Well, that’s what I heard anyway. So off we go! 6 or 8 minutes into the ride Sugar gets a text: “Guys, where the heck are y’all. I went to park my van and now nobody is here!” Classic moment. Laughter is so good for the soul, and my goodness, we laughed at that one. Sorry about that Juggs and thank you for being a good sport and cranking that van back up for the lone drive to Laurens. It just would not have been the same without you bro!
• The ride down consisted of Sugar putting the finishing touches on the Shovel Flag. Thank you Uncle Buck for putting this one together for us (even though you left off the paint, it looked great).
• So we arrive at the AO a little early. Do a little recon, dress up the w/o areas, and strategically place the shovel flag for presentation. We’re standing around waiting for the Laurens pax to show and fortunately, two do. Snoop and FNG now known affectionately as Floppy.
• 6:58, Juggernaut gives a brief 2 minute history of F3.
• QUESTION:

ANSWER: YES! Especially if you’re Sugar. We’re moseying to the COP area and next thing i know, Sugar is shuffling, doing everything he can to keep from barreling over. I caught a glimpse of those eyes, looking up as if to say…”oh sh-t, this ain’t gonna end well at all” But, I gotta say, the man handled it with style. I don’t think his knee ever touched the ground, which in itself is telling of his amazing agility, because it certainly should have. We both agreed, YHC was 6 inches away from him, as he was falling it felt like slow motion. Apart from the little bit of blood on his hand and the very momentary “tail between the legs”, you wouldn’t know he’d ever fought with the speed bump. The incident reminded a few of us of the time Spud stumbled and fell on the speed bump in front of Posh’s house…err, wait, IS there a speed bump in front of Posh’s house??

• COP went well. Only once did YHC try and usurp MM’s place in the count. Just before this juncture three pax from F3 GREER show’d up. Welcome brothers.
• While we were at the first station, a fine fellow named Ricky Reeder showed up and jumped right in with Snoop and Juggernaut. Total Laurens Pax count now, 3. We learned later, one of Tootsie Rolls’ EH’s was at the wrong park but tried to post. Apparently there are multiple parks in Laurens. This could be a good thing.
• Sugar’s station, as described above, was tough. However, clearly Kindergarten Cop has been busting his hump for a while. YHC decided to push it on the Continuous Suicide…he hung in with ease. In fact, he whooped me. Good job KC
•  Juggernaut gave a well done presentation of the Shovel Flag to F3 Laurens County.
• At the HUB, all pax worked hard.
• F3 Laurens County has a bright future, if they want it. After BOM the Shovel Flag was split, top given to Floppy and bottom given to Snuggles. Snoop, Floppy, and Snuggles, F3 Nation and F3 Greenwood stands with you. Next Saturday, F3 Irmo and F3 Lexington, will also put feet to their belief that “giving it away”, really does mean something. Be there F3 Laurens County. Invite other Sad Clowns. Make a difference in Laurens through a proven brotherhood.
• Most pax went to Coffeeteria at Whitefords. Great spot. Even has a Sour look-alike on the marque.
• This really was a fun time. One of the things about F3 that has caused me to stick with it as long as i have, is this. Opportunities for the brothers to build on 2ndF. Any pax reading this, who hasn’t done much with that F, you’re missing out. Give it a chance, it really is the glue.
