16 pax, including 2 FNGs (Mike and Roger, both brought by Gray Ghost), punched their cards at Richard Barry Park at 0700 this morning to find out what YHC had planned for them at #TheEstate. FNG-3 is 98 Degrees, not yet registered on website.
Pre-0700: A bunch of pax ran the RR10k, and some of these stayed for Turnpike's Excelsior Q. A few showed for Excelsior and stayed for Estate. Frogger ran the RR10k, took a break, and then hit the Estate. And then a select few badasses – Blackberry and Turnpike – completed the #TripleDown. RE SPECT.
0700: We rolled.

MOLESKIN:
- Humbled to have such a great group of men come out to the Estate this morning. Thanks for getting up and spending part of your Saturday with YHC. Hope everyone got what they came for.
- Excited to have Mike (1st post) and Roger (2nd post) join us this morning. TClaps to these men for hanging strong through an hour long beatdown! Thanks to Gray Ghost for bringing them both out, and look forward to seeing them both again soon.
- Roger's first post occurred some 4 years ago! The pax wanted to name him Comet, since he only comes around once in a while. However, we already have a Comet in Race City, and in any event, we're looking forward to seeing more of Roger soon. Gray Ghost invoked Roger Moore, and suggested 007. The pax then suggested Moonraker, and that stuck. Welcome, Moonraker!
- Thanks to the pax for indulging YHC's use of the coupons. I only have the 4 built, and am always trying to figure out how to incorporate them into a beatdown. I'd only anticipated a turnout of maybe 8-10 pax, so having a fourth pax in each coupon line was not expected, but YHC tried to make it work.
- Great 2nd F afterwards at DeFined Coffee (LFC) with Turnpike, 98 Degrees, Freedom, and Elmers.
- Someone asked about Purple Cow. Here you go: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_Cow
- Thanks to Turnpike for reaching out several weeks ago and asking YHC for a Q. I'm forever running on Saturday mornings, and rarely make it to the Estate. It was awesome to be back. Thanks brother.
- Thanks as always to Auto and Eeyore for the original EH in June 2016. I'm forever grateful.
