Not quite as nice as it was on Tuesday morning, but still a nice temperature of about 48 degrees with the breeze blowing slightly. Still fantastic conditions considering it’s late-January. The parking lot at Detention was a little painful on the hands.

COT

Spoke about taking something positive away from 2020. It was a difficult year for everyone, however it’s important to acknowledge what happened (both good & bad), and be thankful for at least one thing that it gave you (time with family, new job, opportunity to get out in the gloom more).


Moleskin

Nothing especially worthy of note. All PAX enjoyed having the smaller group but were clearly pushing themselves so there wasn’t much mumble chatter heard.
