(Almost) Ride the Lightning

Preamble:

After a bout with Covid and a bum ankle, YHC was ready to get back in the saddle for a Q at one of his favorite AO’s. That stated, rucks and blocks may not be the best way to come back on the scene, but as my friend Feather’s put it – If you can’t Q it, don’t do it, so as a penance for the last time I Q’d at Meathouse, the ruck was strapped snugly on and off we went with a rolling quick preamble (no FNG’s) and a farmer’s carry of our coupons to the back parking lot.

Mother Nature appeared to cooperate initially, ensuring that several HIMs carrying coupons in the air wouldn’t be zapped, so we proceeded with urgency…….

Weedpickers

Windmills

Covids (HA!)/Michael Phelps(s)

3. Hoochies are running the Breakfast with a Beatdown on Saturday, 7/23 at NLRB. BD starts at 6, prerun at 5:30, need folks to cook, serve, clean, and help with the BD
4. The Good Lord finally spake saying, “ENOUGH! I SHALL RELEASE MY FURY UPON THE FORUM, FLEE!” And the clouds and lightning danced upon the firmament, hence we prayed for peace for our brothers and their families, our country, a broken world, and all prayers said and unsaid…..

Naked-Man Moleskin:

What a great morning to get back to it. YHC is so thankful that he was able to get back into the swing of things. Thanks for the hard work and for the push, men!
