The park staff preparing for a softball tournament were in shock and awe early Saturday morning as eight of Natville’s finest plus one visitor shredded through various exercises and sprinted through waves of humidity. Yes, Cougar Town had unleashed the big cats for a steady wave of cardio and upper body exercises. BTW, Cougar Town is a huge AO with a plethora of amenities. Go check it out!

MOLESKIN

  • Stubing brought out his brother-in-law, who last posted two years ago in North Charlotte. It was great to see him come out of hibernation and crush the beatdown.
  • Brownnoser brought his buddy that visiting this weekend (Whirlybird) Andrew is a helicopter pilot for the Navy and had the weekend free to whirl over to Greensboro. It was a pleasure having you visit, thanks for your service to our country.
  • Mumble chatter was minimal at the AO but was prevalent at Coffeteria. As the Cornwallis Nightmare PAX rolled in, several of the men commented that we looked too dry and clean to have had a workout. Well, some of us just clean up real well and always look good.
  • Have a safe and happy Fourth of July and give thanks for Freedom and Independence

Always fun and rewarding,
