The Mile of Pain

YHC just Q’d Wolverine a couple weeks ago and wouldn’t normally pick it up again so quickly, but another PAX needed a favor, and I’m always one to help! It’s getting close to BRR time, and hills are always welcome, right? (RIGHT?!) A plan began to formulate….. 15 Pax met in the gloomiest of Carpex AO’s for a relatively cool, yet predictably humid morning. Perhaps that MONSTER thunderstorm that rolled through at 12:30am had something to do with it….

Everyone Remembers Their First Merlot

It had been a while. I mean, I have made my semi-regular appearances at BO this past year. but it had been a while since I’d Q’d there. It had been a while since I’d Q’d anywhere. So as I started to fill up the empty googly slots, it was fitting that YHC start at the birthplace of Ma Bell. Anyway, enough history. YHC was feeling like putting the hurt on some PAX today.

This anniversary beatdown brought to you by the number 11

Today is my 1-Year F3 Anniversary!!!! First post was a year ago today at Flirtin’ with Disaster. Funny story about that…… Blue Water EH’d me, but due to a mix-up, I posted in Carpex and he posted in South Wake. Joe Smith was was the Q that morning. It was his VQ, and I learned who “Dora” is, and how to get to the “Bridge of Pain.” Sosa and I were both named after COT.

Fuzzy Math

After traveling throughout the greater Cary/Apex metropolitan region for much of July, it was good to get back to some home turf and get 10 more minutes of sleep. Apparently Hi-Liter got 10 more minutes of sleep as well. One year ago, Parker dragged me out before daybreak to FOD and I haven’t looked back. So it was time to bring the original Bogo shoes out of retirement for the 1-year Bogoversary.

Studs are made of 2x4's

I must admit, I had several doubts about this morning. I returned from the other side of the world only a few days ago and am just now getting my circadian rhythm back to Eastern Daylight Time. My sleep has been off, and I haven’t been as energetic as usual. To top that off, in true F3 fashion, I did the F3 ENC CSAUP “The Sasquatch” in Greenville, NC on Saturday.
