Hunting Season?

Last week Huckleberry put the EH on me to come up and Q Folsom. Actually it did not take much EHing at all – he asked when I was coming to Q so I picked up one of next open slots. I’d been putting off posting with the Folsom PAX up north in Dallas for far too long. In fact I was really looking forward to Qing, until about 0400 when all I heard outside was rain. But weather won’t stop F3. YHC arrived at 0500 this morning for some drive by recon since this was my first Q at the Folsom AO. I was encouraged more as the rain had stopped (at least up here in Dallas). Great AO. Tons of space here, lots to do. Now, with a good sense of the landscape, a proven workout plan, and clearing weather, I just needed to wait for the Folsom crew to show up. So I waited…. and waited…

First group pulls up… Midoriyama (Freight and Pizza Man). While we waited, we discussed ruck sacks and Pizza Man’s sneaker collection. Apparently he has sneakers for every situation (dry, wet, running fast, running far, running faster, running rather, red, blue, pink, etc..).

Still no Folsom regulars. But wait.., what’s this..? GOMER! Ok… Folsom PAX has arrived (and almost parked his truck on the playground – anyone smell gas?)

So at 0531 sharp, we started. Here is what went down.

• Was great to break sweat with Freight and Pizza Man again.  2 days in a row seeing Freight – new Nantan is really getting around.  Strong!
• Gomer is a stud! Nice work on 4 corners – if YHC were younger, faster and stronger, I would have beat you. But I am not! Not many men are out at 0530 in the gloomy rainy mornings. Even fewer guys 18/19 years old. Thanks for the strong parter work today!
• Keep Pizza Man’s family in our prayers as they talk to Hospice.
• Keep those in our prayers that struggle with addiction of all sorts.
• Glad to hear Mrs. Floppy Disk is doing well!
• Many Folsom regulars are out in the field to get in a little hunting, enjoying the gifts the sky-Q provides us with on the big ball. Other’s have some challenging work schedules. Looking forward to catching up in the gloom soon.
