Rooster Pax run a familiar route with a new man

YHC arrived to the Rooster to find the parking lot empty. T&G had promised an FNG, so early arrive was planned to make sure this man didn’t think he was in the wrong place. Once all the men where assembled (including the FNG) and 5AM was upon us, someone pointed out that our Q had posted that he wasn’t going to make it this morning. Cinco de Mayo had a 2.0 fall ill (obviously too much Christmas related fun) and requested one of the PAX to help him out. YHC took over Q duties and dreamed up a route that would keep us away from traffic and challenge us with a few sneaky hills.

YHC presented our FNG with a spare reflective vest and a little green blinking light.

Disclaimer, Prayer and we were off

The Route:

Leave the park and head down long terrace to Crosson St
Head down Skyline to the to the dead end
On the way back out run us Woodridge Ct to the dead end and back out

Depending on time run Crosson again then back to the park where the PAX could choose to run main st and take a lap around the block at the park.

Count-o-Rama, Name-o-Rama

FNG naming – Grand PePe (said in a French accent)

YHC and Mermaid smelled a skunk at the bottom of long Terrace and discussed naming our FNG skunky, or something skunk related. Mermaid suggested Pepe Le pew.

In the COT, our new man who happened to be Slim’s (FiA – Pitt AOQs) husband, told us that he was a Grandpa and his grand child calls him Papa and his Daughter bought him a shirt with Papa smirf on it that reads “Call me big Papa”. Not being up on our Cartoons, we momentary forgot the Pepe was French and someone suggested Grande Pepe (which sounded incredible and holds with the Roosters near multilingual nature). After remembering that Pepe was French, YHC did a quick google search to determine that “grand” in french means the same thing as “grande” in spanish. So Grand Pepe it was.

Prayers:  Lots of Pax and families in need of Prayer.  Doodle’s 2.0 is in the hospital with Pneumonia.
