Mount @ OG

Monday night, Publix threw it out there that he needed to switch Q’s because  of vacation. I had a conflict for next Wednesday when I was scheduled to Q, so more than a coincidence it seemed ordained that I would Q at OG this morning. The only problem I had was that I have only […]

Organ Grinder Tuesdays

2 years ago, the AO known as Organ Grinder was born.  Like all other newborns, it was ugly, needed a lot of attention, and required cleaning every time you visited it.  In fact, I’m pretty sure it remains as the only AO to have it’s blocks stolen from it.  Wait, nevermind.  Sorry Mt. View, I […]

Tug of War

Yesterday, I was under instruction by my M to help my 2.3 (Charlie) find a book to read.  We were digging through some book shelves and couldn’t find squat that a 10 year old would like.  We have a boat load of ones for really young critters by Richard Scary, Dr Seuss, and of course […]

Wheel of How

So I threw out a challenge to the HKY Region last Friday at RAM. “If there are at least 5 FNGs or Kotters at my Q new week at Howitzer, I will jump in the fountain in front of City Hall.” I then went and placed this on Slack as well as the Twitterverse. PAX […]

Calling an Audible

I heard that Beaker was looking for a sub-Q and was still in need of one late Monday evening so I figured I could step up for him (Audible 1). I set my alarm to wake up and prerun…. that did not happen (Audible 2). When I walked out of my house and saw that […]

Stairs, BLIMPS, Repeat

Good Monday morning. I like kicking the week off with a strong ER workout. I haven’t been as consistent at ER lately…I need to do it every week. 0530 Warm-up: SSH x 12 IC, Beakers (ATT w/ a double-tap) x 12 IC [the PAX b*tched about how fast I was going], Humpys x 12 IC […]

Just a Little AMRAP

I have a confession… I haven’t written a Back Blast in so long I almost forgot how. I still can find my way to the AO’s to get a much needed dose of Fitness, Fellowship and Faith. There are many among us missing out on this great time due to a disease called “Fart-sacking”. GET […]

Post Bear-Bare Ram

This will be short and sweet….unlike the Bear that several of the PAX had run the evening before which (for most of us) was neither nor.  YHC rolled into the LR parking lot Cheeze Wiz and Jordache style right at 5:30, after having been given several half hearted sc’s the night before from the Bear […]
