MOLESKIN

  1. Thanks for all the birthday wishes and great to return to the AO where I’ve posted and Q the most over the years. Need all Pax approaching 50/respect to let me know of their birthdate so I can pass along the Blackbeard walker to them at the appropriate time and occasion.
  2. Enjoyed the cooler temperatures and the “light” beatdown—due mostly to YHC’s tee time tonight.
  3. Thanks to Ultraman for the reminder about trivia—spent my lunch hour Tuesday researching all these fun facts and writing questions. Ultraman was also a fountain of knowledge and kept the Pax to just one set of J-Lo’s.
  4. YHC is humbled and extremely grateful to have F3 and all the support and fellowship it offers. Pay it forward and pass it on whenever possible to the next guy that needs it.
  5. Thanks to Amen for the privilege of leading at this AO. Always a great group of Pax and lots of laughter.

 

 

Aye!
