YHC appreciates 10 PAX showing up in the elements for some fun.  Mumblechatter was light, and we got right down to business.  Thanks to Keymaster for partnering during DORA, although he dealt another super, juicy bomb out of his rear (second AO in 4 days where he’s likely left a crater in the ground).  YHC is certain that his drawers and socks for that matter are ruined forever.  YHC is now thinking that perhaps a dietary intervention might be necessary in the not too distant future (as this is becoming a pattern).  Thoughts?

Needles to say, YHC was happy to partner with Ronnie for partner carries so that breathing was again possible.  Glad to see Ronnie back out after conquering the flu!

The PAX seemed apprehensive when we hit the field for Wheelbarrows as conditions were lake-like with parts resembling Woodstock…  Honeydo took a mud pie to the shoulder and face due to the slip and slide conditions, however, his recovery was remarkable.  Enjoyed partnering with you brother!

Great to see Wedding Singer and Garbage plate out at Hoedown, way to work guys!!

Mary – Tossed the Potato to Kubota for some ab work!

NMS:

YHC was very impressed by the PAX this morning….  To my knowledge, despite the repetitive potential pitfalls (ice, snow, curb, ice, now curb, step), nobody took a tumble.  This was especially remarkable during Bernie Sanders up and down the hill (thanks EF Hutton for starting this a month or two back).

Kubota got his feet wet and did a great job with cadence during Mary, well done.  Fudd took us out (thanks buddy).  Well done today guys, great start to the week.

Numberama, Name Aroma….

Announcements: None, it’s cold!

NMS –

First of all, thanks for all of the support guys!  Special thanks to EF Hutton and Splinter for pre-workout advice.

Kubota and YHC showed up 15 mins early, YHC was feeling what must be normal butterflies for a VQ.  This feeling was not diminished when we noticed a heavy police presence in the school parking lot.  EF Hutton got out of his vehicle next to us and indicated that his car window had just been tapped (followed by a bright light directed at his face by one of Henrico’s finest ).  After EFH explained that he wasn’t the one who set off the school alarm they decided to back off (although police presence continued to loom).

YHC’s name is derived from an event that took place when I was 17 and 10 months old.  As FUDD explained over a year ago during my FNG introduction, I was literally put into handcuffs in front of the Tuckahoe 7-Eleven for the use of tobacco (parents had to come pick me up etc.).  Was the police presence today indeed coincidental?

YHC quickly cast these memories aside, and proceeded to have a blast leading this group of great men.  YHC looks forward to doing it again soon, thanks again for the support fellas!
