Introduction
On arrival, a couple cars in the lot, pax still inside. I too waited until 513a before exited the vehicle. It was cold. Fresh snow from the day before was settled in, lot was cleared but not the Outpost paths – fun was in store after promising we’d be ‘in it’ in my pre-blast.
Got WoR going fast to warm up the pax.

Circle of Trust
Stumbled on this recently by F Scott Fitzgerald and wanted to share…
“For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things that you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again.”
Not to much to add just now, it just resonated with me on a few levels, feels like a comfortable way to view things and applicable to our times.

Solid group of guys in questionable weather for a questionable Q. The snow runs and Murder SnowBunnies were fondly received, so we did both twice. There was some accolades shouted about it being a RC in disguise, i could tell that PAX was happy.
