Moleskin

  • Great effort by the PAX today! It wasn't easy, but if it was it wouldn't be worth doing!
  • Ty Webb informed YHC that Bam Bam gets there early to set up KBs for the PAX, then asked, 'who's got the Q?" Guess I'm not as gracious a host as Bam Bam.
  • Tclaps to Packer for consistently crushing every beatdown I've ever seen him at.
  • Strong effort by Ty Webb as he took his regular position way out in front of the PAX.
  • Always great having Jimmy O in the PAX. Thanks for taking us out!
  • Honored to have our Denver brother, Clark, show up with two sizable KBs and slay the dragon.
  • Strong work Cooter and thanks for the encouragement along the way.
  • Gray Ghost sailed through the beatdown as he usually does. Dude makes it look easy!
  • Hope we didn't scare FNG Rich away with this one. Bring him out for an "easier" post next time Ghost.
  • Honored to lead this strong group of men. Thanks, Bam Bam, for the opportunity.

YHC,

Smoke
