Olympus - A Spoooky Double Beatdown

Well, it's late on Halloween and YHC has had a couple of pumpkin brews so we'll keep this brief. This group of pax went out and dominated today. The spreadsheet simply didn't have an answer for the absolute punishment this cadre put forth in a fierce manner. Hats off to these ten pax - each man left the COT better than when he arrived. Some quick notes...Mountain Momma came early and showed the well-earned pains that adorn a man that has his moved his living situation. It doesn't get easier as you age, but this AO is glad to have this HIM even closer...Schedule C and Gapper reignited the pre-ruck tradition and put in incredible work before the beatdown even began. Always an inspiration, gentlemen...Benny casually dropped some incredible knowledge that he attended a summer camp growing up THAT JUST SO HAPPENED TO BE CRYSTAL LAKE...like *that* Crystal Lake from Friday the 13th. Clearly, if YHC had gone there he would never swim again or really face reality, but props to Benny for powering through...YHC is 99% sure that Blanks may have made a cameo driving through pre-workout (with a requisite Woooo!) and is 37% sure that when Hoover came in hot today, he may have rolled off the back of Blanks' pickup...The Worm was in pristine form, perhaps aided by his hyberbaric chamber conditioning. He dropped some insightful knowledge on rugby strategy, Goldendoodle tips & tricks, and the hidden way to inform your wife that the piece of furniture she loves is perhaps not the most delightful thing...Pepsi came correct, as he always does. Outside of his usual mumblechatter to keep things light, Pepsi shared during the COT. It's never easy to be vulnerable, but Pepsi, YHC is grateful that you did - we're thinking and praying for you and your family...Ickey was resplendent in his Ohio-based commentary today and fired up Gapper accordingly. Also, YHC isn't entirely sure, but upon further reflection he is certain that Gapper was sporting some Cincy Reds paraphernalia today. Marge Schott is smiling beyond the grave somewhere...Emoji, man, what can you say about this guy? Just effortlessly supportive of whatever poorly planned nonsense YHC decides to spew. We were of course deficient in the standard amount of "Woooo's" today, but Emoji wasted no time providing likely unearned encouragement for the program and YHC is eternally grateful. Though he received some equally unearned grief for the setup of the tripod and eventual picture today, be honest, we're always grateful that he captures the crew each time. With that, grab a Twix bar or whatever is closest from your 2.0's candy, and let's get into the recap...

If you don’t want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process, is to guarantee disappointment.” ― James Clear, Atomic Habits COT: YHC took out the joint groups in COT
