Awesome support from Geissele as usual.

As usual? Usual, like... typical?
I know what you meant, but there is nothing typical about the type and level of support sent our way from the seriously cool mothertruckers at G-Auto and ALG
It's atypical. In the best way we know it to be. They "get it". They really do.
You can tell. I don't know what it is, a crystal ball, they have us all bugged, they can read minds, or if Mr G is just one seriously astute motherfucker.
They (probably the whole company) know what we need and they make it better than the competition in ways that can only be measured with lasers and dead-language math symbols. And it's all bomb-proof.
There are people that trust their lives to this shit. No, not just their lives... the lives of others as well. That. That's big medicine all by itself.
And then they actually go out of their way to help a little group of reprobates act like idiots while we move huge tires and crawl under dumptrucks and other nonsense.
Us. Just a group of people. Not even a very big group... we're kinda small actually.
But I've seen housewives genuinely roar (like, literally yell as loud as they could) after completing a tough obstacle, all effort, no quitting. I know two people that picked up skydiving. Some work so hard, they even change their physiological makeup.
And everybody's motivated and encouraging.
I've never seen any other activity or event in the civilian world that inspired this sort of collaborative and positive shit-talking, cohesion, and inclusion. It's all different and intangible and obviously there.
Not everybody, but most of them, and I watch closely... you see them when they're finished. No matter their results, points and time be-damned...
They're going to go home and hit it harder.
And they do.
Now they have a reason. The popular-suburban-tourist-boredom-rut-ennui-whatever-the-fuck-you-call-it, it's killing people. That boredom, the dull civility of chain coffee shops and pumping gas and mowing the fucking lawn, it's a fucking hole in your soul. We're not meant to worry about such stupidity, we're not supposed to spend our lives running on a track in circles without a reason besides "go fast" or worry about how our hair looks.
You have one life and you should go do something amazing with it, go connect, stretch yourself, find a limit, work your muscles and mind and soul until it's all strained. Then find a new limit.
Do something with your body besides carry your fucking brain around. Try. Wanna be a badass? Get off the fucking couch and do something. Snap spines over your knee, breaks necks.
And G-Auto gets it.
It's obvious where it comes from: a crazy-capable renaissance man with a high horsepower brain, perfect timing, and a humble-but-no-nonsense charisma. And he's involved at the ground floor. At the competitive level.
I could go on, but I'd embarrass myself.
I mean... there is no way that the Geissele Automatics family could know just how they have positively affected the lives of so many with such simple and consistent support.
I'm about as far from a religious man as you can get, but... we've been blessed by the support they've been very generous with.
No, there's nothing "usual" about it.
These are rare people.
