Congratulations McDowell!!! I knew you’d pull it off! You did an awesome job and I’m glad I had a chance to maybe help you (probably not much) with the combatives part of your competition. Now go get some much deserved rest! Take care and hope to cross paths again. After all, you live like 20 miles from me
