Two years of F3 - Kryptonite style

With 9/9 a Sunday (and YHC attending Wood Badge training with Chop Block somewhere in the nether regions of Carthage, NC), my Q-nerversary was scheduled months ago at Kryptonite. But between work, Scout training and various work-related shennanigans, YHC had been averaging ~4.5 hours of sleep since last Wednesday so Q’ing Kryptonite was going to be less than ideal.
