Apologies for not having a Five on Friday last week, I was out at Friends of Pat in Alliance, Ohio.  If you weren’t there, you missed a great time.  If you don’t have plans to get out to FOP in 2018, then you are wrong.  Tons of great instruction, tons of great people.  Shoutout to Chucks air horn.
