0601 – After having dropped the kids on the bus for XC tournament in the middle of Cobb County.  Had a little time on my hands venturing back to Shadow.  Learned a few things along the way…..

  1. East Cobb is completely shut down until about 7.00  AM.  Good luck finding gas, ice, beer, and or buying CMU blocks (“Coupons”).  I dare say the Waffle House lights were on, but staff seemed a little light not a car in the parking lot.
  2. You can not buy beer prior 7.00 AM on Saturday in Cobb County and Sandy Springs, I guess this is State-wide Blue law striking again….
  3. And on positive note, the staff at the East Cobb Home Depot did let YHC buy some Coupons venture on down the road a little early (actually think they were open but surprised to have a customer at 6.10)

Upon my early arrival at the Shadow, Radar and Flip Phone greeted me to help unload all the toys for this morning’s beatdown. After sorting through battle ropes, jump ropes, bag of ice, beer, and pulling out several Coupons we strolled down to AO for the start.  Set List – Journey Songs (Steve Perry era only)

0700 – 66 degrees.  Overcast, no rain in sight.  Disclaimers we utter and off we went.  Pax of 13 headed got to business.

Rock Quote:      Blackberry Smoke:  Best Seat in the House:

  • It’s the measure of a man, Of a man
    Does anyone even understand A man, understand

We all want what we ain’t got, Some of us have it some have not
Everything I got coming to me

Life, love, money in the land of the free
All my life I’ve been turned down

One of these days, I’ll get the best seat in the house
