Not Leg Day

Swinga asked me to Q several weeks ago.  Of course I accepted.  You see, I have a weakness for never saying no to a Q request.  Well mostly.  Sorry Abraham if you’re reading this.  I promise I’m still working on getting to the Swamp soon.  Promise.  But seriously, Lenoir is not a quick hop and […]

The Den – Q by Committee

This is what the HIM’s of F3 Lenoir can do when the AO Master Q is on the family vaca and the scheduled Q is on IR…it’s a quasi-committee Q.  Here is how it shook out. The Nantan of F3 Lenoir, Friar, got us started with a few items of disclaimer and went through the […]

Uncle Bob’s Pool Party

1776 …ish

The sun was dawning on a muggy Taylorsville morning. YHC had aquired a snazzy new rucksack, so we decided to break it in with a quick 1 mile pre-ruck. Shawshank joined us when we made it back to the park and the fun began. A few weeks ago my brother had pointed out a workout […]

Fourth of July Convergence

The Basics

I’ve made lots of assumptions with you guys.  Lots.  For one, I assume that all of you know that a lot of what I put on Slack, Twitter, Backblasts, emails, etc. is dripping with sarcasm.  But not all of you know that.  Now you do.  I think I’m pretty safe w/ this one, but just […]
