When: SAT 24 MAY 2025

Where: OCT

QIC: El Ab

PAX: Trickdaddy, Mayweather, The Total Package, Spud, El Ab, Catfish and Neverland

Beautiful, crisp, fresh and slightly cool SAT AM

WARM-O-RAMA at OCT

Indian Run around downtown Concord and back to OCT

Back at OCT: cement block work, merkin planks and eddie merks— mosey around Tomby’s block and rinse and repeat until time called

Notes:

Spud was smoking fast this AM in his softball jersey

TP told us an account of someone who was about to discard of a dead copperhead snake until he said, “I’ll take it.”

TP skinned it and ate it: said; “it was good, tastes like chicken”

A brief google search warns that it can be very dangerous to eat such a venomous snake as the venom may not be fully eradicated even after cooking

TP don’t care what google says

“I will always do my duty, no matter what the price

I’ve counted up the costs, I know the sacrifice,

Oh, and I don’t wanna die for you, but if dying’s asked of me,

I’ll bear that cross with honor because freedom don’t come free…

I can’t call in sick on Monday when the weekend’s been too long

I just work straight through the holidays, sometimes all night long

An American Soldier…”

Listen to a couple times at least the classic “American Soldier” by the great late Toby Keith this Memorial Day Weekend

Aside from the great patriotic military efforts of some of our fathers and especially almost all of our grandfathers, just imagine the balls and courage from the likes of our friends and peers, (ie Brian Floyd, Matthew Cole and Mike Andrews) have made as young men in overseas combat as US veterans

Thank God for America and our combat veterans

AYE, El AB
