Call me obsessive compulsive but I made two scouting trips to the AO, one in the daytime and one 30 minutes before go time, just to make certain that what I saw in the daylight still worked in the gloom. Good news…it did. No FNG’s but just for practice (you talk’n ‘bout practice) gave the disclaimer speech and off we went with a goal of seeing the familiar parking lots in a little different light.

Well, YHC did his part. The original plan for the day was to do a Double 11’s, but just last week, Ma Bell unwittingly stole my workout! Oh well, another plan lay in waiting for the PAX and this was it. [Read More]
