Darkness and cold. That is what greeted the 13 Pax this morning at the premier Tuesday AO. A clear sky allowed for excellent star gazing and plenty of opportunity to see an occasional meteor!
This was YHC’s first Q since moving back three weeks ago from sunny Florida. What a good time to show off some of my new skills!!
Mission statement and 5 core principles stated. Full 5 point legal disclaimer given. Not sure who said it – but there was a comment that they usually just accept the user agreement. Good stuff.

YHC cannot emphasize how dark it is at Parliament. That said, it was a beautiful morning.
Tonka was wearing a ruck that either had 50 pounds or a motor that was assisting him….jury is out!
First time seeing Burns since returning!
This is clearly the AO where the “youth” of the DashPax hang out. Lots of “ayes” in this group. Plus us old farts.
