Date: 2024-09-14 AO: olympus Q: Krzyzewski PAX: The Worm, MARTA, Mountain Momma, Wabbit, Horsehead, Floyd FNGs: None COUNT: 7 Under the backdrop of a cloudy sky and a bit of mist, seven pax took to the pavement and chose to get better this morning. Week 5 Day 3 of the current program had its twists and turns, but the pax moved seamlessly through the weinke. Great to have Horsehead and FNG, Floyd, join us today. As per custom for newcomers in our niche hobby, Floyd was subjected to a lot of unsolicited advice, but picked it up well over the course of the beatdown. Hope to see you back in the gloom more regularly. Mumblechatter made the rounds, but had YHC feeling a bit dated as we recognized the 25th anniversary of the movie Office Space. For all the inquiring minds, the internet tells me that TPS stands for ‘test procedure specification’.
