Fresh off of vacation, YHC found himself in the position of being called out of the bullpen to help Q with our brother Dri-Soket being on IR. With little time to plan coupled with training for a GoRuck Tough, the decision was easy. Let’s put on the rucks (optional, of course) and get a healthy dose of Good Livin’. Here’s what had happened.

Moleskin: YHC mentioned it during COT this morning, but it bears repeating. I want to thank the pax for coming out this morning. It has happened to all of us at some point, you wake up feeling like hot garbage with nothing in the tank. That was me this morning. Had I not had the Q, the temptation to get back in bed would have been great. However, I knew that several men had given the HC, “Hard Commit”. Think about that for a minute. You put it out there, you posted “HC”. Your word. When I gave Dri-Soket my word that I would take his Q for him, that’s all I had was my word. I didn’t say, yeah I’ll do it as long as I feel up to it. I just said I would do it. You men said you would be there. Guys, when I got there, my tank was empty. I felt like I had nothing. Muggy Tape was my partner, and he pushed me. Man Bun has bought into this thing and is killing it. Mercy Rule has transformed into a Beast, Navy Bean is the Million Dollar Man (he’s ageless, no injury keeps him down), Moist makes me want to work harder just by being there. Trickle is a few weeks removed from Hernia surgery and he got out there to walk and be with the guys and offered encouragement. You men are why I post. I appreciate each of you. Solid work this morning, men.
