The men of the Shank answered the call this brisk morning to enjoy a full moon and some odd exercises. YHC brought a rather large weinke (ok, it was a full dang page of notebook paper) and still didn’t really follow it, so hopefully this captures everything in order…
The weather: 47 and cool with a full moon

Moleskin:
On Tuesday YHC told the Pax that YHC had a rough week. It sucked, and still does. Things happen. YHC’s natural inclination is to literally shut down and disappear. YHC was ready to tell Cheers to cover my Q and peace out ’til whenever. As YHC sat at work, trying to remember passwords to start shutting down social media accounts (so no one will bother YHC), it occurred to YHC how frickin stupid this is. So, YHC reversed course and decided to deliver a serious beatdown today, because THAT is what YHC needed.
We all have things happen. Just remember no Pax is alone when these things happen. While YHC is very private and would more than likely never disclose what is going on, that does not mean that the mere presence of YHC’s brothers in the gloom makes the world a better place. The Pax HC’ed. That is all YHC needed. A wise man told YHC last week to engage one 50 meter target at a time. That is what is being done. As Buzzsaw reminded YHC this morning, God’s got this, and there is no need to pretend like a better solution exists.
Thank you Pax of Shawshank. you all are true friends, and YHC is grateful for you all.
