Sorry PAX, I typed up and published the normal backblast but upon review later on all I see if the a black and white American Flag and no backblast. So here it is in full-
16 strong arrived and departed RAMM for their desired morning exercise.
Long run – Patterson(ish)
Short Run – east on Grove, 4s turn at Malvern, 5s turn at Roseneath, and 6s we don’t care, there were none today. Everyone return past the point of beginning and west up to Three Chopt, return to point of beginning.
Cyclists – everywhere for 45 minutes.
Way to go PAX. Welcome Will for his first outing, Bodos head locked him from church. YHC noticed the foreign tags looking lost trying to find our parking lot. The run today was a simple one, the way of our other fathers who ran east on Grove to a specific spot of mileage and then all touching Three Chopt. YHC can recall being a common run back in the day, which as a Friday in case you were wondering which day that was. Something easy for a new guy who likely would be running faster than myself.
FNG Will was tentatively titled Red River for his Oklahoma ties. Hardywood would like to voice some late recommendations with some I just don’t see fitting a nice fella like Will – Noodler, Fister and Pig Shop (yikes!). Mr. Wood’s other consideration is Noodles which sounds a little more appropriate. All proposed names are tied Oklahoma’s title of being the capital of Noodling. So YHC would open up to see if Noodles is preferred over Red River, otherwise Red River it is. Comment in the comment section for further consideration.
Juneteenth on the calendar today, hope everyone enjoys the new holiday. Thanks to Bodos for taking us out.
Time to pullout.

Noodles or Red River?
I like Red River!
As a recovering Texan a favorite past time of the Republic of Texas is to let people know that yes, Tiger King and Toby Keith are accurate representations of Oklahoma. Fun Fact my M lives on the Texas side of the Red River and there is as much red clay in her blood as their is red blood cells. Hand fishing is in fact a real activity and the freedom loving Americans along the Red River refer to it as noodling. The activity goes like this. Swim along a sandy river bank, rubbing your hand along the side. When you feel an indention or hole, make a “fist” and blindly stick your arm in the hole up to your shoulder. If something bites your hand, open your fist fingers spread out and stick your other hand in and grab the gills. The most common fish to do this with is the blue catfish. While uncommon, people have been bitten by water snakes. The longest running noodling contest is held at The Pig Shop in Pauls Valley, OK. Hardywood supports Noodles.
Ok, with that amazing explanation I support Noodles too.
Noodles has a good ring, is easier to say, and that history wins.
Noodles it is! bodos, since you know him, let him know please. Thanks.
