29 giants of the gridiron took to the pristine fields of Mills Park to usher in the 2018 NFL Regular Season. Under cover of darkness, half the crew shed their shirts to reveal chiseled abs, bulging biceps, and tantalizing tattoos. Ma Bell couldn’t get his shirt off fast enough, prompting YHC’s favorite quote of the morning…“He paid too much for that to keep his shirt on.” But let’s get down to business so YHC can focus on BRR mental preparations.

Descending from a Labor Day Weekend mountain-top experience of Rainbow Trout, Largemouth Bass, and campfires was hard enough. But when the first two sentences spoken to me were “Sky Blue was worried you wouldn’t make it.” and “Can we use your Old Glory calf condoms as a shovel flag?”, I knew we needed to re-instill some semblance of order and discipline in Carpex (amiright, Nantan?). Standards have to be met and exceeded here people. [Read More]

24 PAX gathered at their friennd Mikey’s house on Monday morning for the usual hang out, but that’s when everything changed. We got the news that evil fat cat developers were buying land and planning on tearing down our houses to build a golf course…bummer. This group of misfits started the day with the pledge and a quick jaunt around the pickle. Circled up on the basketball courts. The Walsh family is always so accommodating and polite, so of course we start with Good Mornings. [Read More]

YHC has been out of Carpex for the past few days exploring F3 out west in St. Louis and was really looking forward to being back home.

Given the significance of the concept of a Sad Clown in the F3 universe, one could think the name Flying Circus to be a bit, well, curious. Given the madness that went down at this AO on Thursday, August 23, 2018, I think the name fits. 18 HIM pledged their allegiance to the flag, and then moseyed to the basketball courts. Warm Up Good Mornings, nice and slow 2 x FNGs show up 10 Burpees OYO Hill Billies Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson arms: Circles front and backwards like Sir Fazio, except one arm at a time. [Read More]

There weren’t Fire-ant Bombs, but there were fire-ants and there were B.O.M.B.S. 14 of the finest Carpex PAX gathered in the Wolverine gloom for a beatdown. Build-a-Bear, Biner, and PBX enjoyed a three-mile EC from Crema at least until they arrived on site and encountered the fire-ants. As 5:30 approached, PBX was still in battle with the fireants, three of our far west Cary PAX arrived kind of on time, and no FNGs were present. [Read More]

Team FOD

21 Pax dodged the rain and puddles to post at Field of Dreams this morning. YHC used to be a FOD regular. YHC even started the FOD Twitter handle, that’s how tight they were! Then more sites joined Tuesdays… Then a kitchen remodel relocated the family to far east borders of Cary… And just like that YHC’s regularity vanished… Franklin even sent his thugs, Nature Boy and Badlands to YHC’s house to repo his #TeamFOD shirt!

What a day, what a day! YHC grabbed the Q spot at DP and longing awaited the chance to head west for all 3 F’s with the Apex pax. With YHC’s alarm set for 0430, here goes. Arrive early for EC pull-ups with GTL, Theismann, Rooney and Frisco. Aeorsmith was there as well and Steve Tyler rocked us during our sets. Great work men. The rest of the reg-U-lars arrived and I’m looking at 30 pax for this beat down (has to be the most in Carpex today, right? [Read More]
