YHC has not been to the Anvil in several weeks, felt great to get back. Mumblechatter was lively throughout, and the title of this backblast came from the PAX singing a song about dosee doeing with their partner. Lots of partner work today, inspired by YHC’s frequent thoughts this week of our brother, Wild Thing, who recently lost his M to cancer. Please keep him and his family in your prayers, and for those wishing to attend the services this weekend, The Carpenter put out a preblast today with details. Thanks for letting me lead today.

YHC was extremely fortunate to fly down to Baton Rouge to watch the national championship game with his family, celebrating each TD and great play with other (real) Tiger fans, whose team plays in the REAL Death Valley. We have a live Bengal tiger for a mascot, they have a guy in an orange suit which looks like a reject from a Frosted Flakes commercial circa 1985. It was a great time, and YHC thought it would be appropriate to recognize some of the many records broken this season by his beloved LSU Tigers. YHC also decided to Q today and tomorrow as lately YHC’s attendance at F3 has been spotty at best, but YHC will show up when No Idea is on the Q sheet. Mumblechatter today seemed to keep returning to what it was like to grow up and be educated in Louisiana, with many references to Water Boy, some of which are not that far off, but no, YHC’s mother is not a Swamp Witch. Great job today fellas, it was a blast to lead. See you in the gloom tomorrow!

As usual, I have No Idea what I’m doing….

COP

To be sure we had this down we repeated a third time then moseyed to the parking lot for the COT.

Really enjoyed working out with Trout and Mudface today. The concern whenever YHC Qs is the amount of running that will be involved. Today, we likely went far less than a mile. Trout was struggling towards the end of the workout. He believes it might be a result of holiday meals. Today is my last day of being 46. 47 here I come.

It was an honor to lead this great group of men today.

Gotta Run!
