Moleskine:
– Good job men. A pleasure to lead this group. Dawnstrike has become a great place to workout and a good start to a Saturday.

– With #mumblechatter in high form this morning, YHC had no idea how the pax were actually doing. From the chatter, it seemed like they might die, thankfully, none did.

– F3 Dads next Friday
– HCs needed for Kiawah 1/2 and full
– Woodshed convergence 8/29
