Mosey to the THANG
PAXcounted off into groups of four and moseyed to nearby parking garage to begin Plague’s Plumb Line Pyramid.
Pyramid
With the PAX split into three groups of 4ish, they started on their respective floor. Floor one was to serve as the timer and once they finished would go to third floor, third floor would go to second floor and second floor down to first floor. Each floor had a separate list of exercises performed in pyramid fashion
Some slight confusion when rotating and lots of chatter questioning The Plague’s “good intentions” on the design of these pyramids. Omaha was called about 2/3 through and PAX moseyed back to playground for MOM

Circle of Trust:
✓Plague used the Plumb Line analogy to discuss the need for men to get right.
oPlumb Line:A plumb line is a tool used in the construction industry to ensure walls are perfectly straight. This tool applies the laws of gravity to create an exact verticalline, it doesn’t change or move, it remains true. As men, we need a well-defined plumb line. No matter what we believe in or who our Higher Power is, we must have something providing guidance and keeping us aligned with a true north.
✓The Plague read from the Q Source reminding PAX the importance of making the daily choice to Get Right–F3 Q Source Q1 – Get Right
oA man must Get Right before he can do anything else
▪To understand the Get Right, picture a man vigorously rowing a boat across afast movingstream. If it suddenly capsizes so that the keel is skyward, the man would have to right it—return it to its upright position—before he could continue rowing. Until he didthathe could not make headway against the current and get his boat to the far bank. At best, he would be simply trying to survive, clinging to his capsized boat as it was pushed by the current to points unknown downstream.
▪Now apply this image to the life of a man. If he has become (or always was) un-Right, he cannot make headway in any aspect of his life. Thefast movingcurrent of his surrounding circumstances will sweep him yon while he clings desperately to the hull of his overturned boat. Worse, hisConcentrica—the passengers that he is charged to bring safely to the far bank—will be right there in the water with him, helpless because their husband, father and boss can do little more than focus on his own survival. Before he can help them, or himself, hehas toRight his boat.
oTonight Show closed the morning with a delightful prayer.
