Ye Olde NakedManMoleskin
I brought back some of my old favorites today. Despite my self-imposed merkin hiatus (shoulder), I couldn’t resist the Yul Brenner.

FNGs did well today, welcome and hope to see you back soon. The road to the 1st F started today.

Props to Guitar Hero and Pace Car for the extra credit. While the PAX were enjoying some 2nd F, these two took a lap around Memorial Park.
