Announcements:

Rip Cord is expecting to add 2 live humans to his crew on Friday. Best wishes to him and his family on a safe and easy delivery. As is our tradition, F3RVA treats all PAX members and their families as though they are our family. And, we name everyone. So, whoever has the Q on Saturday will name the two new children. Apparently, Mrs. Rip Cord is fine with this, though the grandparents may feel slighted.

NMS:

Nice, crisp morning for a run / jog / walk. YHC was glad to get outside and work the heartbeat up to 80 BPM while walking. Walter thinks the trails are the best.

Doublemint and Pigskin chatted about hernias.
