Bradywgn71 bore the brunt of being the new guy, and thus finding this sign on his windshield:

 

 

Sunday morning pre-Cinders run fun! BTW, G said he witnessed Mrs. Goose toss a beanbag through the hole & it was pure air! Way to go Terri!

I forgot to tell my funny story. Notice in this picture that George has created a 'changing room' for me next to Large Marge. He draped some sheets over rope he'd tied to the rack, wrapped around the tree, and then back to the rack.

 

 

Monday morning as I was making breakfast, George went to pull the truck forward and load the wood on that trailer into the Dodge because the guy who brought it didn't want to take it home. So George gets in, starts the truck, and thank goodness Miss January was watching. He'd forgotten to untie the rope, so the pine tree was bending as he pulled forward! Of course, she was eating and couldn't think of what to do or say, so with her mouth full, she started yelling: "Tree! Tree!" George stopped, looked at her like, "What?", luckily in time before the tree uprooted, but it definitely leans a little now. Doh!
