wild turkey ran to the Qs house, then we ran from my house to womble, picked up fumunga from the bathroom following his EC and off we went.
route took us to cayman ave, a cut through to crossway, the almost all the way down crossway, with a brief detour on cliff creek. Stopped at TomTom’s house for some monkey humpers, same for Mr. Terrific. Crossed the street for some pickle pounder merkins at Wild Turkey’s house. That was the end of the ride for him, so fumunga and I carried on without our fearless site Q leader.
trip back to womble for COT. I needed to run home, and Fumunga needed more miles, so back down Stinson to my house. Door to door company for the Q today, what a treat.
