It was awesome to have Uncle Leo back in the gloom after a long absence due to injury. Also joining the PAX today we had relative newcomer Johnny No. 5 who is learning the ways of the bell, always good to see newer blood out for our little niche of F3dom. Once all were gathered we got after it accompanied by the sweet tones of 80s rock courtesy of Pandora’s algorithmic magic.
