5:27 AM and nobody showed, except, of course the Huntersville PD squad car, parked mysteriously in the back of the lot. He was eyballing my swift VW Passat for suspicious behavior, "Isn't that an illegal TDI?"

Moleskin:
-If you are every up to doing something nefarious at 5:30 AM, in full site of a police squad car, it sometimes can help to momentarily pause criminal activity and form up a circle, and just perform some SSH x 10 as a group. The PD often will leave the scene due the #CSAUP nature of your activity. #justsayin
-Always maintain a safe distance from Limburger. During walk down Mericans, while in full downward dog, ie perfectly timed for max effect, he gas'd ole BillyBob. Limburger's his name!
-TyWebb read my mind when he arrived, "Sorry TommyBoy, your gonna have to Q after all!" It was looking like a #sadclown. Even United, who was a HC the night before, dissed his MacAulay brother.
-Always appreciative of the chance to lead. Thanks to the PAX for their dedication. YHC
