Who Needs Sentiments?

Posted on behalf of SENSEI

Hoping that the rain would either hold off or have ended by the time we had to launch, but being a good scout and being prepared for a downpour, YHC had 2 plans for this morning.  Thankfully it was dry, or at least water had stopped falling from the sky by 0530 so we went with Plan A.

My attempts at being sentimental were met with much less enthusiasm than I thought they would be.  3 years ago this week was the launch of Peak 51, and both Slim Fast and Geraldo, the original site Q’s were there.  Also, 2 years ago this week was YHC’s VQ.  Since nobody wanted to reminisce and were ready to get to it, the disclaimer was given and we took off and did the following.

Moleskin:

·         With the weather being iffy, I had no clue how many would show up this morning.  The little burst of rain about 5:25 also had me wondering.  The rain stopped at about 5:29 and lo and behold, 15 PAX were there and ready to roll.

·         I had no clue of my VQ anniversary until I was planning out what we would do today.  Total coincidence and nobody really cared but me.

·         Not too much mumble chatter this morning aside from a few grumblings when we did some Mary.

·         I did hear someone say at the end, “Boy that went by quickly”.  I took it as a compliment and a sign that we stayed busy for the entire 45 minutes.

·         Chime in with any thoughts/comments.

·         As always, it is an honor to lead.  Peak has an awesome group of regulars sprinkled in with new guys and visitors all the time.

·         Excellent takeout by SF
