The radar this morning did not look promising, so YHC was pleasantly surprised to see JV, Fletch, and Cowbell brave the showers and join me for Granny’s Party Gras ™, 2022 edition, even if it was postponed 2 weeks and scaled back.
Never one to let a moderately adequate planned Q go to waste, the plan was to base the beatdown around everyone’s favorite floating holiday in this area (unless you’re a bigger President’s day, Labor Day, Flag day, or Thanksgiving fan).
