The YEA Team has been meeting for online training/practice 3 days/week since the end of February. It has been very good I think. When done, I feel just like I have been standing in the same field with everyone.

Sometimes directions and right left get messed up, because I am a converted leftie working to a camera. But they have been patient and forgiving.

We are meeting tomorrow for the 1st covid practice, at 8 participants. A masked run to see if we can go the distance for an official Backyard Game scheduled for a week from tomorrow. Got the disinfectant for implements, got ways to clean stones and cabers. We will all be masked, gloved and hydrated.

The big test. Can you throw a hammer in a mask? Can you run a caber in a mask? More important, can you go all day in the heat, throwing your heart out, in a mask? We will let you know afterwards. Excited to see everyone in socially distanced person and air hugs!
