YHC worked a deal with the 116 site Q to take a turn at the helm for a reciprocal Q IOU for #westsidestory next month.  Sounded like a good deal, and YHC had never posted at 116 before, so why not make a debut posting there and Q all on the same day?!?!  AND, it would be YHC’s first Q at the fashionably late start time of 7 am.  What a deal.  Scouted out the terrain the day prior and activated the weinke generator, every PAX’s special compartment of the brain where creativity reigns supreme.  Arrived early at the site to walk the ground and position some directional aids, planted the shovel flag, and like a patient fisherman, waited on the PAX to roll in and take the bait.  Arrive they did…. first double respect Slim Jim who uttered that we two might be the only ones there, but YHC saw there was still time on the clock and felt more would answer the call.  Sure enough, vehicles started turning in off of 3rd Street.  Flick, Stern, Baby Ruth added themselves to Slim Jim.  We had more than enough for a circle, and it was time.

MOLESKIN

Great site with lots of opportunities on the grounds and in the vicinity.  It was great seeing the PAX embrace the workout in very hot and humid conditions.  One of those conditions engaged the sense of smell as we were doing ab exercises between a freshly manured lot and a porta pot.  Much #mumblechatter.  YHC enjoyed getting acquainted with a new site (for me) and working out with some men that YHC hasn’t had a chance to interact with as much.  Well done, and Flick even made good on a promise to post in June!
