The BackBlast:

YHC arrived early at the Chieftain, not having been there in a few months, hoping against hope that new lights were added.  Alas it was not to be.  Headlamps on!

Despite my early arrival, other PAX had arrived about the same time – a very early crew!  The stars were out, and the moon shone brightly, with the temperature hovering around 58F as Lowes rolled in with the site flag.  YHC saw we were already at that time, so got the ball rolling with the grand Disclaimer, and warmup as Lowes found his spot in the circle.

COUNT-O-RAMA  & NAME-O-RAMA 

COT : YHC mentioned a few words on his heart this morning.  First, be careful with your anger, it can easily get the best of you.  Once you’ve said something, you can’t take it back (especially when dealing with our Ms!).  Second, life is short – live each day and make the best of it.  Take time with your family and your children . They will remember those special events, but will completely forget all the mind numbing hours in front of a screen.  Praises for Lowes’ son starting Jazz band!

As always, an honor and privilege to lead the men at the Chieftain.  Thanks for having me!
