Welcome to former FNG Miguel Cebollero (aka Rowdy).  Was EH’d by Drano.  Rowdy fit in well with the other silent assassins today and held his own throughout the beatdown. Impressive work, Rowdy. Glad to have you.

Announcements:

YHC reminded PAX of the collection Two Men and a Truck is doing to benefit battered womens’ and domestic violence shelters.  See Twitter/YHC for more details.

Prayer Requests:

Continue to keep all those struggling with addiction and depression in our thoughts and prayers

YHC took us out.

This group of cold-blooded killers had very little time for MC this morning…they came to dominate and dominate they did.  Incredibly strong work by all involved.

Was nice to meet @Data.  Normally a regular at #BnW, Data moved through all called exercises, namely the Rock Work with relative ease.  Great to meet you, sir.

@Argyle and @Manscape, as is their custom, seemed to breeze through the beat down.  Their lack of MC and lack of difficulty with the called exercises made YHC feel as though I had disappointed them.  These guys don’t mess around.

@Drano is absolutely not human.  Not only did he get his EC run in prior to launch, he led most of the way and when he wasn’t leading, it was because he was performing each exercise with impeccable form.  Dude seems to be incapable of tiring.

As always, it was an honor to lead this group of #HIM.  Thanks for the keys, @Wobegon.
