It's always a pleasure to Q at the Kings Dominion, especially on an unseasonable warm 60 degree morning in the February gloom. Special thanks to Crash Cart and Red Tape for moistening up the asphalt before the workout. YHC was greeted by many smiling faces, including Bronze Squirl, Thirstay, and Hammer Time, who were coming up with a get rich quick scheme in lieu of EC. Just as my watch read 5:29:45, Cousin Vinny and Seabiscuit from Chapel Hill came rolling into Startex. YHC was already pumped and gave the obligatory disclaimer.

Prayers to the Good Nurse as his family has experienced loss and stressful situations recently. Call the family member or friend that you haven't spoken to in awhile. They will appreciate it and you will feel better that you made the effort. Aye!
