Introduction
Opportunity to Q an EBC at The 🪵.  YHC has never had the pleasure of doing it so…… It was obvious the numbers would be low which of course they should be when there’s a VQ!!!  Congrats to Tinfoil!!!!  Got to the AO a little early to reacquaint myself with some areas YHC had not been to in a minute.  Not surprisingly things looked the same.
Warm-O-Rama
Warmed up the PAX with some SSHs, Good Mornings, Tappy Taps, Arm Circles, Calf stretches, and a short Mosey before getting into the meat of the beatdown
The Thang
Started out at the flags working the chest.  Started off with some Hand Release Merkins and then transitioned to working with resistance bands focusing more on the chest…Moseyed to the small pavillion where we performed some dips on the picnic tables and then transitioned into resistance band work focusing on the triceps.  Moseyed to the upper parking lot and finished off our arms with some focused bicep work before moseying to the not so frequently used pull-up bars.
At the pull-up bars, the PAX completed 3 modified sets of the popular CrossFit benchmark workout called Cindy. Â First set was 3 rds of 5 Pulls, 10 Merkins, and 15 Bodyweight Squats followed by a short mosey to the road and then back, 2nd set was 2 rds followed by a run to the light pole near the spine of Mt. Hood. Â The last set was 1 rd followed by a run to the first light pole and then up the spine of Mt. Hood to the first trees and then back. Â Upon completion, we moseyed back to the flags and finished the session off with some gas pumpers, flutterkicks, pickle pushers and a low plank.
Circle of Trust
AAR was positive. Announcements were communicated by Dog House.  Main message was about EHing a man  can be as simple as offering a cup of coffee (Latte), having a conversation with a man at the Ira Jones Carnival, or setting up  F3 tent at the Knights of Columbus 5k event.  Don’t over complicate giving this gift away.  Men don’t know what they don’t know.  So just throw it out there and see what sticks.  Don’t prejudge who looks like they may be interested…Don’t keep this thing for yourself!
Naked Man Moleskin
Thanks Dog House for picking up the 6.  I hope all is well Flashbang…Always appreciate seeing Squidward in the gloom….
TAPs sent out and a special call out was to those families affected this day, 25 years ago in Colorado. Â Remember?
The Columbine High School massacre, commonly referred to as Columbine, was a school shooting and attempted bombing that occurred on April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School in Columbine, Colorado, United States.[b] The perpetrators, twelfth-grade students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, murdered twelve students and one teacher. Ten of the twelve students killed were in the school library, where Harris and Klebold subsequently died by suicide. Twenty-one additional people were injured by gunshots, and gunfire was also exchanged with the police. Another three people were injured trying to escape. The Columbine massacre was the deadliest mass shooting at a K-12 school in U.S. history, until it was surpassed by the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in December 2012, and later the Uvalde school shooting in May 2022, and the deadliest mass shooting at a high school in U.S. history until the Parkland high school shooting in February 2018.[c] Columbine still remains both the deadliest mass shooting and the deadliest school shooting to occur in the U.S. state of Colorado.
