Let it Be
All Afton BackblastsJuly 14th, 2021
This Hump Day beatdown at Afton is Q 3 of 6 for YHC this week. The pax have really been bringing it all summer and doing a great job, so YHC hoped not to disappoint the pax. YHC new it was going to be a hot one, so YHC thought a few special music selections would really add to the enjoyment of the pax.
Unfortunately for YHC, there was an alarm clock mis-fire this am, so at 0530 YHC came in hot and still half asleep. Seeing the pax ready to roll, helped YHC get my bearings back so that a proper beatdown could hopefully still be delivered to the studs of Afton. It seemed to work out in the end. Thanks for showing and great work men!
It went something like this…

Some mornings (days) go like you planned it and some don’t. This morning did not go as I planned initially with missing my alarm, but it all worked out in the end. It served as a good reminder to me to not over react when things are going wrong or not as planned. You can choose to adjust/react and make the most of the situation you find yourself in. Thankfully this morning, my reaction was just barely fast enough for YHC to avoid the headband of shame.
