18 HIMs met this morning at the gloomiest AO in Cary, except that clear sky and nearly full moon made it relatively bright. I was dismayed to learn that several pax showed up for the Riptide beatdown not realizing I picked up the Q instead. I don’t blame them, hell I was trying to do the same thing! One FNG this morning courtesy of Honeycomb, so the full, drawn-out briefing was in order. After the briefing we got moving.

NMS: So, I preblasted that I was not going to make it for EC Intervals this morning, but would be there for Rippers Beatdown. Ripper almost instantly sent me a DM letting me know that he and his family had opted to remain in Myrtle for an extra day and wouldn’t be back in time to make it, and asked if I could pick up the Q. Guys, this is how life works, and how F3 works. It may seem trivial, but I’ve got to tell you, there are times in our lives for many reasons important to us that we may not be able to make commitments of any type. What an amazing relief to know that at the asking there are reliable folks that will step and assist with whatever you may need. I consider it an honor to step in! Though I really was looking forward to some Riptide Mumblechatter this morning. Thank you guys for all that you’ve made F3, and I’m proud to be a part of it.
