Election Day Triple Header

10 strong men escaped the warmth of the fartsack on this beautiful and chilly election morning to attack NoToll with reckless abandon.  DK and Rosie doubled back to the parking lot to pick up some LIFO folks (Flashdance, Mr. Roper and Flipper).  The rest of PAX held various Al Gore poses to start the burn for the day.  Once the PAX was all accounted for we completed 25 SSHs IC and were off for the day.

Mosey to the Pavilion for a triple-header that went something like this:

Mosey briskly back to the flag for COT, number-rama, name-a-rama and YHC took us out.

NMS:

YHC spent 7 hours at the baseball field this weekend watching his 2.0 play a triple-header.  Those boys were spent in game three but the left it all out on the field for a great  end to their Fall season, so YHC wanted to put the PAX through a triple-header of our own F3 style.  We had to play a rain-shortened Game 3, but I think we can make it through another time and get to the full 300 merkins that YHC had planned…another time!

Strong work by the PAX this morning.  A lot of mumble chatter after initial instructions were given.  Note to YHC – dispense directions only as needed, the PAX’s attention span at 0 dark 30 is limited….live and learn.

Thanks for letting me step out and lead this morning.  Always a pleasure.

No more Gumbo for you…
