Thunderstruck

17 pax gathered around the Hero flag with very dark sky’s this June Saturday morning. Lightning and thunder not far to the west near Newport was erupting. Everyone was looking at Gert who has been struck TWICE ! The pax  was looking around waiting for someone to call it off, there was talk of Banks Grill and coffee and so forth. The Nantan Jang was present and I pushed the decision to him. He said lets roll. And Fry Daddy was there who is quickly achieving Chuck Norris type status in Carterico.  Last week at coffee I heard he was running the BRR by himself with a rucksack on… so we couldn’t show sings of weakness in front of Fry..

A brief disclaimer with added verbiage to include lightning strike was communicated. and off we go to find shelter for warm a rama as it was raining sheets.

COT- yhc took us out and gave thanks for the day. We remembered my Nephew Gibson (Chinese Downhill son) as it was the 2 year anniversary of losing him. We think about him everyday and life will never be the same without him. We thank the pax for always being there and lifting us up in good times and tough times.

Thanks for the accountability to the hard core Carterican weaselshakers for staying on me about back blasts. They are important, especially for the new guys.

Thanks for letting me lead fellas. An honor and blessing for me.
