Are they here for the training or the beer?

Yeah so finally getting around to posting a back blast for Ghost Runner last week.  I left Vinter’s that night, drove home, packed a bag for an early Friday flight to visit the in-laws for the weekend.  The in-laws – otherwise known as the house with the most useless internet connection ever.  I am fairly certain AOL dial up has better service these days.  Does anyone have one of those AOL CD’s lying around I could load up and try?

Anyhow – 25, count ’em, 25 PAX showed for Ghost Runner.  10 higher than previous records.  I am really not sure if the BRR is getting close or everyone just likes to drink beer on Thursday’s.  But really, it’s sort of like asking if the pretty girl is with you for your personality or your money, sometimes you just don’t care about the answer.

There is a designated 4 mile and 6 mile route, but after the intersection of Raintree and 51 I really have no idea where everyone heads off to.  Some guys do 4, 5, 6 and things in between.  Tiger Rag runs some of it backwards.  Radar takes a phone with him, but no one would know how to find him if they actually needed it.  But in the end, I think everyone made it back in well under an hour.

Moleskin:

After last week’s name postponement of FNG – Dan, I knew it wasn’t going to happen 2x in a row.  Apparently Radar had filed some sort of text grievance to Tiger Rag that some by-law was broken and the situation must be remedied without hesitation.  So in a slow and painful naming session where Dan told most of his biography and questions started flying about TV shows and names of first pets, it was finally settled on Fault Line as his nickname.  This was due to his proximity to the epicenter of the San Francisco earth quake in 1989-ish.

There was also a motion made by Radar, the previously named F3 by-law expert, to move beers to Chili’s due to the size of the crowd, and maybe he wanted some potato skins.  Motion was vehemently denied by a sweaty mob of fancy craft brew loving beer snobs who wanted nothing to do with 32oz mugs of Miller Lite.  To Vinter’s we went.

There may have been some announcements but they are likely dated and irrelevant by now.  Thanks to Mr. Brady for the send off.
