Diablo #PreBlast for Anniversary Q at Norton Commons #BlackOps

I posted for the first time June 29, 2017. Captain Insane-O maintains that I stood him up once before that, but the facts are hazy. At that time, we had one AO, communicated via texts, and were all still feeling things out a little. We hadn’t even rucked at that time! It’s amazing what’s happenedContinue reading "Diablo #PreBlast for Anniversary Q at Norton Commons #BlackOps"
