Moleskin:
An unexpected guest rolled up on our warmup at 5:40 looking to see what was happening in front of the Arboretum ABC at this time of morning. At the invitation of Reverend Flo-rida, he parked his car and jumped in to swing a few bells (form was questionable). What initially looked to be an impromptu and skillful EH, took a downward turn when our guest did not mosey with us to our next destination (well out of sight) but instead hung around all of our cars, with keys strategically hidden on tires, seats, and in ignitions.
Tiger Rag, with distinguished wisdom and sound judgment, encouraged the PAX that had left their keys in plain sight (YHC included) that they may want to make a trip back to the lot to lock their vehicles and retrieve their keys. Heeding the sage’s advice, we made the run back to find that nothing was missing, and our guest had departed. A lesson learned, fortunately this time, the easy way.
Always an honor to lead the fine men of Skunkworks.
