I have to admit, if I wasn’t Q’ing today I am not sure I would have made it out of the fartsack. I had originally planned to Q Dante’s Peak this week but Parker requested the spot for his birthday celebration so I picked up FC instead. I wasn’t too thrilled with my decision this morning while driving to the finest AO in NW Cary today in the rain. It is a great spot with a solid group of regulars so definitely worth the trip.

Posted on December 14, 2018 | 3 minutes | 519 words |

BO holds a dear place in my heart because it was the 2ndpost I’ve done when I started in F3. Ma Bell was the Q and I got my introduction to the 12 Days of Christmas. 12 Days of Christmas is to spur happiness and gift giving. OH NO!!!! It provided pain and fatigue. I had to bring it back for the nostalgia it brings. 0545 start – I introduced my Co-Q Franklin who DM me earlier in the week to Co-Q because he had to fulfill the role at BO to complete his leadership challenge.

6 regulars, 1 occasional visitor and 1 newbie to Koka Booth showed up this morning at Koka Booth. The 5 inches of snow yesterday didn’t bother us - this is how we roll.

It was a beautiful morning. 47 degrees, a bit damp…a good day for F3. I just returned from NYC and was slightly unprepared… though it didn’t stop me. 23 PAX were waiting for me with my on-time arrival with a minute to spare. Banjo was not so lucky…yes, you guessed it, penalty burpies for Banjo’s “not-so” on-time arrival. The Start The Pledge We then jogged (plus side shuffles) up to DDMS in anticipation to find the rock pile along Davis Dr. [Read More]

Breaking news, Franklin Q sets the mileage record at Gran Torino

Posted on November 16, 2018 | 3 minutes | 559 words |

Rumor went out early on slack that YHC was going to break a mileage record at an AO, a sentence few people would ever expect to see in writing. Some showed up this morning to see if it was true, others showed up expecting it to be a record low mileage, but oh no- YHC meant serious business. He was going to attack the 3.8 mile GT distance record. 0530 - one burpee OYO, circle up for count off (18) GM and IW - and then we were off. [Read More]
