Return of the Deck II

 Posted on May 14, 2020  |  3 minutes  |  532 words  |  

YHC read Kermit’s Rush Hour BB yesterday and thought it was time to bring out a slightly different version of the deck. Funny story first though. Yesterday YHC posted to the Cary Cartel channel an optional to EC before BH to work the Hillz challenge. Plan was to meet at the bottom of the Shepherd’s Vineyard segment and run in then do another repeat on the way back. No one smashed the HC button so I wasn’t expecting anyone so I was very pleasantly surprised to see two cars in the parking lot at 0505 when I pulled up.

Back at the beginning of the year, YHC went through and signed up to Q roughly every 3 weeks or so just to make sure he was practicing his leadership skills on the Pax of Carpex. He had totally forgot about today’s Q (until he went to add a Q on Friday to his calendar) but with the re-opening of Carpex this week, there’s no better time to Q anyway! [Read More]

Return of the Deck

The evening finally came for the grand reopening of Carpex’s original evening AO, and it felt so good to be back! 10.5 pax came out to get their beatdown on. (because two 2.0s=1.5… which kept us “under the 10” mark) …ok fine it was 11 overall, but who’s counting? Either way, it was a big crowd for Rush Hour. And it was awesome to see! Ok, with that out of way, YHC started off with the mission statement and the Pledge of Allegiance. [Read More]

Well, F3 Carpex is back open, which is great! YHC has been posting fairly regularly throughout the past couple of months, but the one thing he hasn’t done is Q. Well, with the limit of gatherings to 10 people or less, when 20 people showed up for Hello Kitty’s 3 year Annie Very Sorry Q, the pax needed to be divided. Instead of letting Hermes Q his 73rd workout over the past 2 months, YHC stepped up and took the lead. [Read More]

Re-opening Wolverine

 Posted on May 11, 2020  |  2 minutes  |  343 words  |  

The air was cool and the gloomiest of AO’s was lit by a clear morning sky with a bright waning gibbous moon. It was a joy to be able to officially re-open Wolverine. The five other HIM that showed up made it a morning to remember with mumble chatter that YHC has seriously missed over the past 6 weeks. While we were away, TOC graciously finished their construction project. So, not only did we re-open the AO, we moved the flag back to its rightful place in the main parking lot. [Read More]

This morning I embraced a no-alarm-clock approach, and followed through on my intent to do a KB workout OYO. I’m still rehabbing a sore foot that makes a typical beatdown a bad idea, so I’ve been trying to focus on what I can do. I’d asked Gobbler for details about a workout with Little Spoon (aka Cadre DS) from Morocco, and he sent me the link but not the date/time. [Read More]

4 Pax showed up to the gloom for YHC’s birthday beatdown, which will also be my last birthday in my twenties. So after we arrived and caught up till start time, we started to say the pledge. But Yogi ended up jumping in and (paraphrasing) pledging to Jesus as our only Lord and King! We decided that we couldn’t have said it any better, so with that we were off to the Community Center parking lot for warm up. [Read More]

It has been a..I think, month, maybe a year. As far as I can tell today is Satmontuesday, the 13th17th of Maypril. I can’t tell you the exact year, but by the stockpiles of cans and toilet paper in the coat closet I am guessing circa-1998/pre-Y2K. If that is the accurate however someone needs to answer for how they trashed my 23 year old body. This morning I Q-ed a core crushing workout with my friend and shield lock brother Two Factor.

This guy! Michelob, Largemouth, Chanticleer and Blazing Banjo for a little EC. Great group of guys this morning including a FNG. A disclaimer was given, and then a disclaimer about the disclaimer was given. Today was supposed to be the day before This guy! and Michelob left for Boston to run a little road race they have there, and we had signed up to Q GT as a little sendoff. Then COVID-19 happened and so… but we decided to Q anyway. [Read More]
