March. Its Madness, Beast Unleashed

It has been a tough two days for YHC with Kentucky’s loss to Carolina. We played carelessly, without the abandon needed to close, giving away unnecessary FGs, missing critical layups, dunks, and free throws. YHC has seen the replays. Yes there were some bad calls (some really bad). John Higgins [rooferies.com] best be glad he lives in Omaha. But we lost by 2 points, 2 that were missed earlier in the game multiple times.

Picture Day

It was Picture Day at Phoenix. Jenn, the FUMC chairwoman for the health ministry at FUMC, agreed to come out and take some pictures for an article she wants to write on F3. It turns out Jenn is also Burt’s spin class instructor. More on that later. With that backdrop, here’s what happeed: Warm-up After a circumnavigation of the parking lot consisting of runs, side shuffles, and backward runs, we circled up for [Read More]

Scorned Beast [The Crick]

 When: 03/22/17  Where: The Crick  QIC: Banjo  The PAX: Amtrak. Bumblebee. Candlestick. Dabo. Mr. Slate. Oflex. Spurrier. Trump. Watson. YHC Banjo Thanks to Mr Slate for picking up YHCs slack and leading the men through warm-up. It is not that YHC disrespects the pax. Quite opposite. It is one of thankfulness and admiration. These men are understanding of YHCs continued Wednesday tardy behavior. And with that respect, Mr. [Read More]

All Clear

Nary a pax in sight. YHC covered about 4.5 Miles, stretched, took us out, and recovered the Flag.

Announcements. THE BULL April 1 in Durham, CARPEX cookout BOND PARK May 6th

Prayer concerns.  Nickleback and family. NB’s father passed away unexpectedly Monday.

NMS.  After 7 pack last week,  it was a nice change of pace and YHC ventured into some uncharted territory.

REFINERY lesson in Action

Men in these parts have gotten quite comfortable in recent weeks. Ma Bell and protege PBX had been sporting their “wife beaters” in true Kevin Bacon style. The pax have been a bit foot loose, over sure of themselves. 50 and 60 degree am temps can do that despite Puxatawny talking winter. There will likely be some baby showers come November and December. But this week changed all that. Subfreezing mornings, downright downpours in the gloom, problematic AOs were seeing a reprieve. [Read More]

Worst weather

33 and a steady and times hard rain. This is the definition of gloom and is not generally tolerated well by the PAX that show up. YHC has done it all, super cold to super hot and 33 and rain with steady wind is the worst. Still duty called and a commitment is a commitment. With a new AO that commands support, there was no way YHC was backing out of this Q. [Read More]

Four Corners

Q: Term Paper YHC arrives at Rush Hour a few minutes early to limber up his creaky body while waiting for the EC boys to arrive. Banjo and Old Maid emerge from the parking deck and we are off Warm Up SSH x 15 GE x 8 MC x 15 The Thang Mozy through downtown Cary periodically stopping for a set of 4 Corners, alternating between 5 burpees 10 left/right lunges 15 merkins 20 squats and 10 double merkin burpees 15 reverse lunges 20 wide grip merkins 25 jump squats [Read More]
