A smaller crowd gathered at Pullen this morning, likely due to the launch of Whiplash, or perhaps some avoided the inevitable pain associated with a Bob Vila Q. Whatever the case, Duff, Zima and Country Wide set off for the uphill run to THP. Upon arrival, we see Howard trying to recruit some clients waiting on rides to class. No luck finding any clients to join us today, but that doesn’t stop the fun. We miss Torch and Freebird but hope to see them in the gloom again soon.

3rd F Convergence 9/23 at North Hills Club to hear Howard discuss his new mission. HC by the 19th – see Fazio for more info.
Prayer requests and Howard took us out strong.
Howard, still nursing a bum ankle (heal up brother), drove back to Pullen while rest of Pax embarked on the uphill run back to Pullen.
Changes are on the horizon for The Arena. Be on the lookout for a Pre Blast this week going over the new format.
