Originally, YHC was called to action by our EAGLES RIDGE leader SILVERADO. For days, YHC and other PAX were secretly plotting through DARK CHANNELS of SLACK to take the BOOTY FLAG from the COLLARD PATCH. Silverado, Cold Cut, Soft Shell, Spinal Tap, Deep Dish, and YHC made the commitment to take on the PATCH and THE ABU.

But then, as an added wrinkle, YHC got the call to fill-in for THE ABU Sunday night. After watching the GOAT win his 7th, YHC felt the burden of filling in for the F3ENC GOAT.

Quiet rumination gave way to severe trepidation – how does one live up to the mighty ABU and those waiting for one of his masterful beatdowns? How am I going to confuse PAX with 10-step 4-count contortive exercises in cadence without bringing my heart rate above 75?  How is YHC going to transmute his truck bed into a functional sporting goods store?

Needless to say, I barely slept last night.  The alarm went off, and I did my best:
