Four men with extraordinary talents and physical abilities had "The Right Stuff" for BRP this morning.
BEGIN COUNTDOWN FOR BRP LAUNCH. . .
ALL STATIONS REPORT READY. . .
WE ARE A GO FOR COMMENCEMENT OF COUNTDOWN!
YHC, Boar Hog and Dog arrived for automatic ground launch sequence at 0650, but Moses and Zebra made it in time for solid rocket booster ignition and liftoff at 0700.
Some combination of the following occurred after successful launch from BRP parking lot:
- Mosey Twice Around Field
- Goose-Steps
- Bobby Hurleys
- Abe Vigodas
- Runner’s Stretch
- Pirate Ship Ride
- Big-Girl Merkins
- 20 I-Hops (Moses and Zebra modified, presumably due to injury, but we’ll deny them the benefit of the doubt and say that they just weren’t up for the challenge.)

Deep Space COT:
- Moses’s octogenarian stepmom fell and knocked her front teeth out, requiring surgery, so we remembered her in our prayers.
- Boar Hog had to bite his knuckles to keep from belting out the “Let There Be Peace on Earth” hymn (as he has done previously) that YHC uses as a prayer. All present benefited from his discretion.
Post Mission Debrief:
- Q Source at Waterbean profited from a 100% turnout from the Bailey Road Park Pax. Q Source is always a highlight of my week.
- T Claps to Bag Boy and Moses for their leadership of our leadership meeting.
- Much insight was gained, including how Boar Hog shamelessly shamed a man out of the military for expressing his ideal scenario of watching a sunset from a mountain with a bottle of wine.
- Thanks to the brave crew of the BRP Mission this morning. You are all heroes and great Americans.
