Hadn’t been to JPAC in a minute and hadn’t Q’d in a couple minutes. Was good to get the nudge from Boo Boo, and appreciate the guys that showed up.

At Frac’s request, I’ll commit to an All Beastie Boys beatdown in the future and will include the option to skip songs, though I’d expect that to end up being 45 minutes of burpees and Brass Monkey on repeat….

If you haven’t been out west lately, take a ride on MWF morning. for the 620 regulars, it’s much cooler in the morning – come say hi!

And if you haven’t Q’d in a minute or two (or NEVER), sign up and nudge a buddy to sign up. This (NEEDS A Q) guy is doing all the work these days…
