Did someone turn up the heat??
14 PAX including 1 FNG (Gadget – Michael Emig) demonstrated simultaneous collective bad decision making by willfully meeting at Arbo ABC to run 4-6 miles in the middle of a 95+ heat wave!
The plan was simple, although YHC thought the route was discretionary… but Tiger Rag quickly educated me! 4 mile route and 6 mile route. 10 chose the former, 4 the latter. Off we went… that is once Mr. Brady was able to get his shoes and optic yellow socks on…
Excellent job from everyone tonight, especially since this was a double down for most, and triple down for others. I know personally the heat was oppressive, and everyone paced appropriately to not allow the heat to win!
Great to have Gadget (Michael) join us as an FNG. He was EH’d by Butter Maker. We named him at Vintner’s several beverages later — Gadget for Inspector Gadget.
Looked like everyone saved some energy for beverages and 2nd F at Vintner’s. Beverages were cold, and the company was great!
Same time/same place next week!

Spackler’s onto something here. We have a guy show up shirtless wearing headphones and we name him Gadget. Gadget is a fine name, a safe choice, like Justin or Lance (just picking at random here). Grow up, make a decent living “selling insurance” or maybe aspiring to that cubicle with the keyboard drawer. But you’re going to have to work extra hard to make something of yourself with a name like that.
Dweezil, on the other hand–there’s a name that’s going somewhere. Dweezils are the life of the party, walking ice breakers, class presidents. Men long to be, and women long to be with, Dweezils. A Justin will do, but…..well, so will a Ford Taurus. Where’s the excitement in that? Why don’t we just all get together for a warm water and compare mutual funds?
Enough’s enough. Spackler and I have a cure for the common nickname rolling out soon. The Nom de Gloom will soon be upon you. As soon as Spackler gets back from (this month’s) vacation.
