Late but not forgotten

It’s been nearly four (4) weeks since the beatdown, and YHC could offer up any number of reasons (excuses) why a backblast hasn’t been posted before now.  But, really, it doesn’t matter.  What does matter is that the work the eight (8) pax put in deserves to be written up.  So, here it is, with my apologies for the delay.

Naked Moleskinne:

Wow, in 4+ years of writing backblasts, YHC has never been this tardy.  It reached a point that I even said, “eh, why bother now?”  But, the truth hit me that, these guys deserve it.  If they’re gonna show up, work hard, and follow me around for an hour, they deserve to be committed a backblast to commemorate their time & effort.  So, with T-apologizes, I humbly submit this delinquent recap.

A great group of guys – veterans, an FNG, and new-ish guys – providing great 2nd F to go along with our collective sweat.

Thanks, as always, for the opportunity to lead.

Aye.
