After several weeks of having a Q on the Q sheet, five men emerged in the below freezing temperatures this AM to find a Q-less AO (YHC really needs to get into the habit of checking that thing the night before).  A hot potato was called and Mr. Roper (full of fear that he might have to write up a BB) volunteered to go first.  Here’s what went down: Mr. Roper Q: Mosey to the front of MMS.
