It had been too long since YHC had visited The Hollow. So, when the call came from AOQ Scotch, YHC jumped at the opportunity. Now, legend has it that these Hollow boys have been putting up great attendance numbers and are absolute beasts. So, figured it was super important YHC bring something a little different to the table just to shake these dudes up a bit.
Many thanks to Scotch for showing up early and helping YHC get some things set up. Couldn’t have made it happen without you, Scotch. Thank you!

Quick Devo: YHC has been struggling with a work scenario over the last 7 days and has brought that frustration home too often. Not fair to his M, who bends over backwards to make a wonderful home to come home to everyday. Not to mention battling her own work struggles. So YHC recommended to the PAX that it will always go a long way if you choose to hand-write a note to your M (call it a love note or love letter). Dare to do this once a week…randomly…on different days. YHC promises positive results. And, it will strengthen your relationship.
Many thanks to The Hollow PAX for putting up log/blocks/and Foo Fighters today. It was loud, fun, and I’m whipped. I even took a nap during writing this BB. Flat worn out. Well done, dudes! Hope to see you again real soon!
MOLESKIN:
Scotch, totally understand if you never invite YHC back. You’re a set-up champion. You now are in the Q Set-up Hall of Fame. Just ask Ken Doll about his very first time assisting with a Bulldog set-up.
Pairing Wild Hog and Iron Mary together and trying to keep up with their mutant selves…try that for a Q.
