Promises were made. Q-drenalin is real. Back In Black, Oct 28th 2021

Posted on October 29, 2021 | 7 minutes | 1480 words |

Made the commitment to VQ BiB a few weeks ago. Since then…body has fallen apart. Left ankle injury, neck strain at the Super Shield Lock BiB AO, and then my right ankle started feeling really dodgy after my Tuesday run. Several rounds of PT with Erin and plenty of needles. This AM my body is only being held together by pills, creams, and strong black coffee. Come hell or high water, this thing is going to go down. [Read More]

Full circle...Exercise!

Posted on October 28, 2021 | 5 minutes | 1051 words |

I will not say how long it has been since my first post at Slippery When Wet, as it’s been far too long, but things seemed to come full circle. My posting has always come in waves, but I decided in May to make a consistent effort to get back in the gloom. After a rolled ankle at the end of August, I took some time to rest it, which set back some great progress. [Read More]

Red Star Failure

Posted on October 28, 2021 | 3 minutes | 557 words |

The Idea: For my 4th F3 Anniversary Q Bounty Hunters and have real bounty to hunt. The Plan: Set some stuff out around the AO for the PAX to find and reward them if they find it. I looked around my house to see what would work - the first thing I found was a Russian flask that my sister gave me. She lived in Moscow for a couple of years and gave me this flask as a souvenir.

It's All in the Numbers

Posted on October 25, 2021 | 3 minutes | 434 words |

Today I celebrate 56 trips around the sun. I was thinking about how some numbers have corresponded to important times in my life. For example, I was born in ‘65 and today I am 56; my high school jersey number was 39, and I moved to Raleigh in ‘93; I graduated from college in ‘89 and my daughters were born in ‘98; I was married in ‘96 and …. well, all the numbers don’t work.

BaROCK OB.O.M.B.S.a

Posted on October 22, 2021 | 3 minutes | 518 words |

OK, this workout had nothing to do with our former President. But it involved B.O.M.B.S with rocks so there you have it. YHC thinks the title is clever. You will come to love it as well. Anyway, even after YHC got a little anxious and stepped in the site Q’s lane by pre-blasting my Q, 20 HIM showed up, including an FNG who had no idea what he was getting himself into. [Read More]

AO: #ao-wed-tortoises PAX: @Ausfaht @Bolton @Roasters @eHarmony @Shortcut @Billy @Meat Loaf @Ashbury @Sega @Zamboni @WWW I stepped up to take the Q late Tuesday. I realized after waking up I didn’t have a plan and scrambled through ideas inspired by Bartman and brought a deck of cards to beat the guys down with. At home, I quickly organized a Winke, printed it, woke the baby, and proceeded to forget the Winke at home. [Read More]

Dirty Dozen for Doras

Posted on October 20, 2021 | 2 minutes | 252 words |

YHC responded to a well placed DM from the current Site Qs to make a return trip to Point Break. Absolutely perfect temps as we circle up and talk about who the mystery Q may be. An even dozen with no FNGs. We would like to pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, but it is apparently still in Chops’ car. So we just mosey instead. A long lap around Waverly Place brings us to the Whole Foods parking lot. [Read More]

Rucktoberfest 2021

Posted on October 10, 2021 | 4 minutes | 773 words |

So Rucktoberfest started as an idea I had back in 2019. And while I have never been to the actual Oktoberfest in Munich, I am assuredly of German heritage, speak German, have a second major in German, and while I was in college, I lived for a year in - you guessed it - Austria (side note - I actually spoke really proper “high” German before I lived in Austria for a year, but it completely ruined my near perfect accent, and apparently I now speak German with a Swedish accent) [Read More]

Back of the bus

Posted on October 8, 2021 | 2 minutes | 363 words |

Q-school time fellas. Showed up early enough to get the bricks out of the back. But not so early as to have to do it alone. Thanks Schroeder for the help. Having sat through Ma’s Q-school @ FOD earlier in the week, knew the focus today was going to be on putting things into practice. A group of eight for the main event - with a fly-through from HK - made it all just about perfect. [Read More]
