We started the day @F3Billy talking about our responsibilities as men to raise our kids “right”. How do we do that? From Deuteronomy 6:5 “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.” Our children don’t just resemble us, they watch us, pick up our …

YHC awoke from the massive #beatdown from Cesspool at Labor Day Convergence and had thoughts of bringing same Q to the pax that didn’t take the drp on Labor Day. Then YHC remembered the mantra “don’t Q it if you can’t do it” and opted for a new plan. Disclaimer mosey to dark center of …
