After a crash free (barely!) journey out West to SW Elementary, YHC arrived to find a couple cars already waiting at 520a. Tonka had been running to warm up. Rain had stopped. More cars rolling in. Looking like yet another lucky F3 morning. All omens point to a good workout and social. A little chitchat…

The story of today’s Parliament actually starts yesterday or even the day before when YHC picked up the Q for RnG on Monday and promptly slept through all alarms and missed said Q.
