On Thursday, at House Wobegon, the alarm clock (AKA iPhone) won. Snooze, dead to the world, missed the EC and the beatdown. Ah well. It happens. It happens to me, at least.  So, for my Q Friday at UA, we were going to beat the hell out of the A.L.A.R.M. Went like this:

Moleskin / NMM:

Solid work across the board.

• Toot kept his HC and tore it up. He’s off today to prove to various medical experts that he is in fact suuperhuman.
• Man, when I rolled up and saw the $5 Foot Long-mobile I was so happy. He started with some extended stretches and slow mosey on his own and crushed the workout.
• Second time working out with Bootsie, guy is for real. He and $5 shared some aerospace stories. Don’t think he came in on the motorcycle today though.
• You can always count on Lambchop, for a guy that won’t HC he is always where you think he’s going to be and makes the gloom brighter.
• Coffee at DeBeen after was pleasant, with several long-distance runners and Ragnarians coming in to sit for a minute with Toot and me. Great wrap-up to the morning. The Mexican Chipas was excellent.

 COT / Announcements:
Support some of the new AOs! Rural Assault, Launchpad…keep giving it away.

GreeNest this Saturday, see YHC if you still want to jump in.

Prayers requested for aging bodies, struggling country and those doing their best to make it all work.

Spicoli, the keys are on the stage. Hope to see you all again next Friday.
