Weather: 53 degree morning. Fog so thick we needed Rudolph’s red nose to guide us. We instead would have to settle for the stadium lights of Doug Shaw. YHC gave out the obligatory page out and called for rucks and bags. Bling was nice enough to respond that he and Lombardi would be there but …
Having received a few inquiries the day prior requesting the level of PT planned for #WaveRucker, YHC understood that some PAX were ailing slightly and decided to Q with a few options in mind depending on who all showed up. At 0428 Bling and OneCall pulled in and it was looking like it would be …

YHC had requested HCs on Slack last night, but realized I forgot to mention whether or not we’d be using sandbags. So, I arrived to #WaveRucker with two weinkes in mind. The other 6 PAX were already assembled and had a few bags laying out. I opted for the bag-less option, but left the possibility …
Weather typical, warm and humid The announcement was put out for pax to bring rucks and sandbags this morning. YHC went to bed with a good plan. Well as Robert Burns wrote “The best laid schemes o’ Mice an’ Men Gang aft agley” for those of you that don’t speak or study Scots in means …
Labor Day. A day to honor and recognize the American labor movement and the works and contributions of laborers to the development and achievements of the United States.
