…that’s kind of true, but when in doubt just reference the backblast. On May 10th, 2017 a dude named Dice showed up to SNS on the invite of his buddy Jamie. It was weird because all the guys were calling him “Repeato,” never the less, on a brisk (to me at the time) 54 degree morning I logged my first Carpex beatdown at the hands of a one “Earhart.” Hello Kitty was born and I’ve mildly gravitated to F3 activities… [Read More]

Empty spaces in the Q sheets hurt my soul…and aggravate my CDO (we’ll see how many of you get that one). Must. Sign. Up. Thanks, Hot Spot. At least it makes Q shopping easier. “Oh look, I’m the Q, I guess I should go there”. Enough rambling, here’s what we did on a gorgeous May Day morning as the first of two full moons set (Werewolf plug). The Warm-up (Beaker’s Beginnings) [Read More]

To whit: I had not, to date, really tried to deliver a good ol’, shut yo’ mouth F3 beatdown so when the SNS Twitter handle kindly reminded YHC of the Q the next day, that’s what I vowed to try and do.

F3 Nature Boy Qing 3 April 2018 Tuesday This Fine Tuesday morning started hellos all around. Kilmer showed for NB Q 2.5. Nature Boy 1 as we all remember found us running around the baseball Fields at Thomas Brooks park and my Fine friend Kilmer headed home early not being in the running mood. I guess 😎😜. With Highlighter running to his car to grab a weight vest so Beanner not be the solo rucker we pledged to two flags. [Read More]

Thanks to the wizardry of @hotspot and his weekly Q summaries, I noticed that my beloved FOD had no Q for the week. Having just come off the TR run, it was time to get back on the Q wagon, and here was the perfect opportunity. Let’s see what Ma Bell dialed up on 3/27/18 First, @pbx and @skyblue and YHC ran in per our usual route, arriving in time for the customary fist bumps and pre-workout mumble chatter. [Read More]
