QIC: no-ski
PAX POSTED: no-ski, no-see-um, dillio, dba, bartman, saywhat?, dos

Great day for a weekend edition beatdown. YHC on Q, making sure the PAX feels the workout through the Labor Day weekend.

Excellent weather conditions for some running with LB3’s and BB3 today. YHC got the 2x20lb bags and the 1x40lb bag to spread the coupon love all around the PAX.

We got a guest visit from SayWhat? and an FNG who shall be known as DOS. Flag was planted, and the disclaimer was given. Time to go to work.
