Launching the fartsack demons away from us at the Launch Pad

QIC: BAM

Date: 11/28/2022

PAX: Transcript (WB), Chowdah, BAM (WD)

Fresh off a Thanksgiving “break” where YHC spent about 23 hours of driving over the course of 4 days to go over the river and through the woods….the energy level Sunday evening to come up with a plan and post was not particularly high.  But “thankful” for the accountability and push of being the Q was needed.

The Launch Pad is a lovely AO, but not too many pax live on that side of town so numbers have been in the “small but mighty” range.  Having seen the site Q was battling some unidentified contagion, assumed he wouldn’t post, and when the Nantan didn’t express any desire to join for the pre-run, and since Chowdah has been on the IR for a minute, wondered if Transcript would make it out.

As YHC was finishing up the “run” (#slowhole), there might have been thoughts of “maybe nobody will post” creep in the Q’s head, but there in the glow of lights under picnic area were 2 pax!  Chowdah was back into full duty for his first post in over a month!

Banter about Waffle House instead of merkins was thrown around, but the Q decided to press on with the plan.
