Moleskin:
Discussion about the fact that BOG, Curd and Chico seem to be snow day posters
Speculation about the “blood thinning effect” of moving South
Curd represented the Tundra with signature shorts
BOG wore no watch (it’s “snow time”) so Cheese Curd provided timekeeping assistance, much obliged.

Great step up BOG. I know Chico or Curd were waiting in the wings. And Nuke has come in for 5 straight. Awesome. Too bad I missed curds fashionable shorts and sounds like some good convo going on. Chico glad you made it back from your lawyers “convention” down in Mardi Gras. I am sure a lot of lawyering was going on.
BOG..great on the spot VQ! Truth be told, I brought my watch should I have to step up to the plate. But it was like you went back to February 1992 in Albertville, France or XVI Olympic Winter Games. I could feel the determination and excitement!
As I came running in (out of breath) you said, “are you the Q?” I said “No, first DK, then Chico” Since neither were present (at the moment), you asked if I wanted it, but I hope when I said, “no, you take it” it masked my exhaustion. Running in wet snow is like running on a wet beach, harder than it looks. And my first post in 13 days, I was grateful to see you step up.
Onto the hazing..
1st- Good use of disclaimer with 4 (gnarly dudes)-check.
2nd- Right off the bat, we all started the first exercise, but you failed to begin counting- rookie mistake, but you got back in the game.-check
3rd- Do you like the Q adrenaline rush?…we had to reign you in and wait for the rest of us (well me, to catch up). Thanks for finally planking!
4th- well, that’s it…you did a great job picking the Q up on the spot! You hit all the AO top spots and I think you have a love for what looks to be ice. That was not ice, just cold water depressions. It’s OP, not the Olympics!
Bang up job, get this guy in rotation!
Chico- If any one saw 2 of us side by side, they wouldn’t have known what to make of the weather. I loved your parka and mountaineering boots. Your feet were much dryer than mine, but running had to suck!
Nuke- Great job keeping a spare set of gloves near by! I think BOG thought he scared you off, but came back from the car with some warm mits!
