I really wasn’t sure how many we would have this morning as my car thermometer hit 19 on the drive in. I was thrilled to see 10 PAX, including 1 FNG, roll out of the fart sack and join YHC for some early morning fun. Props to Water Boy for posting his first time in the cold. We look forward to you coming back out. It was good to see The Riddler return after a week off for a birthday vacation. Destiny, thanks for joining us south of the river. You’re welcome any time. Boots and Schrute just keep getting faster. Catfish, thanks for letting me Q and for keeping us accountable on our form. Good to see River Rat back after a week off with his family. Glad Apache is feeling better and could join us after smart sacking yesterday. Burgundy and Sgt. York, thanks for setting a fast pace for us to follow.

As I said earlier, we need to keep each other accountable. So many of us will fall off the wagon if our brothers don’t push us, pull us, and question us from time to time. Continue being the #HIM your family, workplace, and community needs. We are making a difference in the lives of others. Keep doing what you do and we can make a big change in our communities.
