#Thunder goes old school with #BlockMindGames

17 faithful posted to the misty, cooler than advertised, #gloom and found YHC, his generic #ShovelFlag, and a visit from Chaser waiting.  45 minutes.  That’s all YHC asked for during the #disclaimer.  “Give me 45 minutes of all you got and I promise you’ll thank me for it later.”  Famous last words before setting off on an up-tempo beatdown with an old-school vibe and a nice dose of #BlockMindGames.  What are those?  Read on…

Moleskin

  • Leading #Thunder is a pleasure and with the size of the Q rotation the opportunity doesn’t come around often enough (for YHC’s taste anyway).  Great work by everyone.  45 minutes of effort was given.
  • #BlockMindGames – It never occurred to YHC until last night that we could retrieve the blocks midworkout only to leave them behind for another 20 minutes or so.  The goal was to have those blocks weighing on the minds of the pax while suffering through a difficult #JacobsLadder.  Mission accomplished.
  • Strudel sings….a lot.  Apologies to the residents of Queen St for any unwanted wake-up calls.

Announcements
