Grammar reached out to YHC over a month ago to Q #TheCollardPatch. Then Die Hard sent YHC a message on the #Twittermachine last week confirming the Q. It was set. YHC hadn’t visited the site yet so a quick drive out there this weekend allowed YHC to survey the lay of the land and plan a beatdown for this morning. Phone conversations from Abu and Bling Bling allowed YHC to roll up with a clown car around 5:20 am. A few Pax were already huddled around awaiting the beatdown. We circled up flag. Abu was highly impressed with Die Hard’s heavy duty flag. It was 5:29, we saw headlights rolling in, Cousin IT hopped out and joined us and were off.

Moleskin

YHC missed each day in the gloom last week. Partially to sleeping in, partially for being lazy, either way, it was highly missed. We lose a lot of fitness by not posting but more importantly we lose a lot of brotherhood. Many AOs to check out, numbers are higher in spots than others, but don’t let that discourage you. Working out with just a few brothers can sometimes be more productive than high numbers. Give each AO a chance, continue to stay true to yourself and your brothers. Also, post sometime soon at #TheCollardPatch, great AO with tons of opportunities to move around.

Skipper, Out
