Introduction
445A
Arrived early for some EC with At At, Muggsy, Babyhands, and Goldberg. We were unsure if there was any oxygen in the air but ran anyway.
510A
The scene – humid, humid and humid. The temps barely dropped over night and the pax were testy on arrival. I was a little gassed and disheveled from my EC run, the pax noticed and called out my all over the placeness, I blamed my Canadian heritage. But we kicked it into high gear and off we went with 19 pax total….

Circle of Trust
Inspiring words were hard to come by for this Q (watching too much news), felt the need to lighten the mood with a classic joke. DISCLAIMER was said “apologies ahead of time if anyone is offended by blond jokes”
“A blind man walks into a bar. He sits down, and orders a drink. After a little while he speaks up, ‘Hey bartender, want to hear a blonde joke?’ A hush falls across the bar. The woman to his left responds, ‘you’re blind, so it’s only fair that you know this: The bartender is a 30 year old blonde woman, the woman to your right is a blonde alligator wrestler, I am a blonde professional wrestler, and the woman next to me is a blonde cop. Are you sure you still want to say that joke?’ The blind man thinks for a bit, but then he responds “Nah, not if I’m going to have to explain it four f***ing times!”
The pax laughed.
CLOSING PRAYER
Dear God – first I apologize for the aforementioned blonde joke, I mean no harm.
But seriously, as always I thank you for these men, for giving us the ability and drive to get out here in the gloom together, looking to better ourselves and carrying that home to our families and how we go about our day. I am so grateful – please continue to watch over all of us, and our loved ones. Guide us through these crazy days. We raise up AT AT’s MiL and family, FLUSH’s family, and BALLBOYs kids school who had a dad pass suddenly….. and to all those who are in the middle of all the injustices of the world weve been seeing.
In your name….Amen.
Naked Man Moleskin
At At moaned before I finished even explained THANG 1.
I felt sick 10 minutes into my own Q, was closer to DR Ralph territory then i cared to admit.
Smalls was seen taking pictures of frogs, but still managed to do all the THANGs.
One of the pax smashed a couple Whiteclaws on the hill, my money’s on Onions.
