Where to begin…Oh yes:

0500: YHC was “dropping off some friends” this morning and decided to pull up the Google Sheets app to find out who was Qing. Franklin..OK should be a good workout and will be good to see Franklin.
0544, the boys are antsy and…where’s Franklin?
0545: maybe that car turning onto Waldo St is the Copperleaf contingent? No, just some postal dude who can’t park.
0545:30: Let’s roll. Ma Bell will take care of this

NMS

  • YHC texted Franklin afterward “Nice Q this morning, bro.” He responded that not only did he completely eschew his responsibilities as Q for B.O., but actually posted at a different AO.
  • To quote Gomer Pyle “Shame, shame, shame”
  • I kinda like this make it up as you go thing. Calli must be rubbing off on me.
  • Why is Calli rubbing off on me? Get it off me!
