Men of Skill and Action at Centurion

Men of Skill and Action at Centurion

In ancient times the Centurion was chosen for his expertness in all exercises and readiness to act when given orders, rather than talk.  Men of skill and action.  14 pax fit that bill today at Charlotte Catholic HS for the weekly Centurion installment.  YHC simply does not learn from previous errors in judgment when the famed buffalo chicken wing is involved.  Char Bar 7 offers these tasty fowl pieces fried in fat and served as hot as possible at the low price of 60 cents each on Thursday nights.  12 of the hottest wings YHC has ever conquered made their way down the pie hole.  Once again, the Q with twisted bowels, we launched to explore this vast AO.

Moleskin

YHC took 4 days off to recover from a bout with summertime sinus and chest crud.  Feeling much better this morning and hopped up on Frank’s Red Hot and special ghost pepper flakes or whatever it was in the secret wing sauce.  Bowels stayed in check.  Humidity was through the roof today and YHC had trouble catching wind at times.  We covered 2.6 miles total.  Great to have Alf and Lambo join as site FNGs.  Welcome men, great work today.  Hope you both enjoyed the AO.  Long commute from Matthews for Alf.  Glad you made the trip and thanks for getting 125 of the 200 merkins during the stack.  Speaking of Alf, he and several others were at the front today, including Bout Time, Scabby, Margo, and Chelms, who continues to false start.  Rather, blatantly false start.  He is known for it and it is expected.  He crushed it today as usual.  Rip Curl was hanging tough throughout.  Boutique, Billy Jean, Red Rocks, Escargot, and, Rehab, and Pulp Fiction powered through.  Solid work as usual men.  YHC was spent after the last sprint in the deck.  Was glad to see we were close to time.  A pleasure to lead this fine group of men of action today at Centurion.
