Have never posted here, except for the 2019 Odessey, so a little unfamiliar with the turf of what’s around. However, for a traveling Q, Google maps is super handy. Still sore from the rest of the week, try to stretch out some and see some HIMs I may not see normally. [Read More]

Climb to 40" - VQ for Mama's Boy

Pre-pledge: Nature called for Snots. Fortunately, he brought a roll of TP. Mama’s Boy shared a silly song on being stranded without TP, and also the proper technique for disposing of waste if one finds himself high up on mountain rock with nowhere to dig: either pack it out or smear thinly. Leave no PAX behind - same with turds in the alpine. Pledge, then mosey to lot 1 for the first thang: - good mornings, arm circles, windmills, plank, merkins [Read More]

May the 4th Be With You - Almost (Chewie's VQ-ish)

Roughly a week ago YHC approached Kwik Stop and was like, “Hey Dude, want to come-up with a workout and Co-Q? at Tin2Iron?” In which the response that I heard was, “heck yeah” (or something like that…). So here we are. I woke-up at 3 a.m. with some major sciatic pain which helped me remember I forgot to charge the surround sound system for today’s beat down which still died in the middle of the workout and I had to plug the speaker into my vehicle.

Plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery

So it was a week ago that I was reminded of one of my favorite COT traditions, the dipping of the feet in the fountain after Rush Hour. So it inspired me to Q tonight’s edition. Yes, it was a boot camp. It had been a second since I had Q’ed anything other than a ruck, so I thought to myself, what would Frisco do? Some of you might remember, maybe about a year ago, Frisco decided to Q every day for a week. [Read More]

Turtles all the way down

To borrow from the G-File, welcome dear readers (including those who thought this BB was going to be about Sturgill Simpson or, much less likely, John Green’s book): Ever come across a book (or in this case a series of books) that you just wish you had come across earlier in life? That’s basically how I feel about Terry Pratchett and his Discworld Series. I first came across Pratchett’s series a few years ago on a trip to London where the bookshop in the airport is a frequent stop. [Read More]

Bass Ackward Pockets

So I have this strange pair of workout shorts. Like a lot of clothes in my drawers they just seem to show up randomly. The M buys the clothes for the house and has the same problem. Dresses and shoes just show up randomly in her stuff and she has no clue where they came from. We jokingly call them gift from the Visa Fairy because…actually, wait a minute… Anyways, this one pair has these backwards pockets. [Read More]
