A cold one at the Pub

10 Eskimo wannabes showed up in 23 degree weather at the Pub for a nice brisk 5 mile mosey.  No one froze to death, no reported frostbite and all were better off for having posted.  Remember that that which does not kill you makes you stronger.  Resolve yourself to push yourself mentally and physically everyday

Poor excuse for a Substitute Teacher

5:25 Pax start trickling in… Check slack for notes about Q….Roscoe states “got the Q may have new route”…Oh boy good, something to shake up the pub…5:28 Where’s the Q…More anxious pax arrive excited about a new route….5:29 No Roscoe? Maybe he’s arresting some bad guys? Maybe he’s wrestling some criminal in Crammer Woods?  Maybe he is tracking out the new route?  5:30 damn YHC makes executive decision to run the same old boring route of Gaston day to Perry to Lee to New Hope to Armstrong and back to the Pub.  Keep eye out for Q  Maybe he’s buying gift cards for coffee – there was a chance of rain.  All made it back to pub before 6:15 but still no signs of Roscoe… Could he have been attacked by the monster known as the fartsack??  Oh well I guess the promised new route will have to wait.
