 MOLESKIN

  • Solo standard for YHC was quiet, but not much more mumble chatter once the blocks were out and the reps started. Strong work by all.
  • Temperature was a balmy 72 and humidity was 90%, all shirts were soaked and shoulders were smoked by the end.
  • The Geek is clearly in mid-season form. He gets extra credit for the low-flutter with block and called out YHC for a few “less than complete” incline merkins.
  • Mumblechatter picked-up post Air Born Mind Bender and trip to benches. Something about a double butt giggle—from the other side of YHC’s picnic table.  
  • Tougher work-out than it appeared on paper. Self-inflicted shoulder smoker.  Crimson paid highest compliment saying it was “just what he needed after a few months away from posting”.
  • Prayers for Crab Legs wife and family as she heals from recent surgery. Top Gun has organized a day of landscape work at their house and provided a link to meal planning and donations for the family. www.mealtrain.com/trains/n5vn46
  • See Turncoat’s request for 12 Q by each Pax in 2019 to help MQ’s with empty calendars over next few months.
  • Let’s always remember the sacrifices made by previous generations so that we enjoy the privilege of freedom we hold so dear.
