November 25th, 2020 By Hop Hunter

After the Monday morning cruise one of the pax asked who had the Q on Wednesday.  YHC let it be known it was I that would be providing the Turkey Day prep, which was followed by 4-Wide making a side comment… “I wonder if there will be music?”  Thank you for the inspiration 4-Wide!

When YHC pulled in the lot, a large group had already gathered.  After a quick glance, YHC noticed several pax were looking sharp in their new swag that arrived last week, we had all our “newer” guys in attendance (which YHC was hoping for), and we had a local legend joining us in the gloom (Phidippedes).  In the end, there were 15 pax ready to put in some work.  Seeing that we had a stellar group and many that have never experienced YHC’s music, YHC grabbed a trust backpack holding the speaker of joy and pain, provided a quick disclaimer and off we went.

It went something like this…

Moleskin

Let’s try to remember how truly blessed we are over the next few days as we hopefully are able to get away from work and spend some quality time with family.  YHC takes way to much for granted in day to day life and hope that the next few days provide time to step back and remember all the blessings that are too often overlooked.  Have a great and safe Thanksgiving boys.  It was an honor lead you this am!
