YHC took us out.

Final thoughts: Strong work by all today! Much respect to Doublemint who posted and assumed the duty of clean up and recruiting coordinator. An unnamed PAX spilled some Merlot on the final sprint, which was a great badge of honor for YHC. Enjoyed some 2nd F at Starbucks!

Out of the blue and into the black

You pay for this, but they give you that

And once you’re gone, you can’t come back

When you’re out of the blue and into the black.

CoPay took us out with some powerful words.

Final Thoughts: Strong work by all today! A couple of those challenges were no joke. Ultimate goal was to test ourselves and see if we can push through adversity. When Hardywood is around, you know that mumblechatter is going to be strong. Great to see CoPay becoming a regular – I too was surprised that he is 60! Well done sir. Also shout out to Snuff for pushing through post-Covid.

It was a great honor to lead!
