Moleskin:

I had a great birthday Q. My goal was to cover some ground this morning. I wanted to give the Bagpipe PAX a little taste of The Brave workout style which is every Friday at 0515 at the Vine in Ballantyne.

Welcome Dumpster Fire to Bagpipe. Dumpster and I go way back. It was great to see you in The Gloom.

As always, it was a pleasure leading the men in The Gloom.
