Twas a brisk mornin’ with a breeze in the air when Clan Ironyard breached the gates for a mini-convergence of sorts, and the Circle of Pain. The Laddys had demonstrated their abilities to hoist a glass the previous weekend for St. Paddys, but now needed to start thinkin’ barrel chests, not barrels of beer as the Highland Games approach.
Conditions: 50 degrees with a slight breeze – good Scottish weather to get ready for Tartan Day South
