As YHC removed the covers and got out of the fartsack…oh wait, that’s not right. No covers, and no fartsack this morning, just a very brief 15 minute nap in the parking lot, then a quick change of clothes, and then stumble out of his car into the brisk gloom to welcome 8 other pax for his first Q and first visit to the Shawshank AO. YHC had done a little Google Maps recon of the AO before, but the overhead view on Google just doesn’t do Shawshank justice. Also it made the AO seem a little smaller than it really was. Anyways, the pax gathered and off they all went…
Weather: 31° with a slight breeze

Do you not know that in a race all the
runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it.
Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a
perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. So I do not run aimlessly; I do not
box as one beating the air. But I discipline my body and keep it under control,
lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.
