Sweating up the stairwells

Not tired, just getting cranked up. Q 7 of 10 at THE Cary/Apex AO, Bradford’s Ordinary. Tclaps to Ollie and Term for escorting YHC in on the meow mile this morning. A sack of tanks are at the ready, Mini Me is in the house, and we’re off sans FNGs at 0545. Warm-up: Mosey towards town hall stopping at the lot by the train tracks. Good morning, SSH, other stuff (I can’t remember anything at this point…) Mumble is strong, even from the Q, this is gonna be a good time. [Read More]

Arrivederci

It was November 2014 when YHC and Michelob first posted to Ateam. At our one year F3aversary in November 2015, then Site Q’s Denali and Grease Monkey handed off the shovel flag to us to man for the next 2.5 years. We supposed it was time to share the honor with some HIM who hadn’t had the opportunity to do so yet. McCants already had the Q for today, so YHC requested it from him under the guise of “I’m leaving town and wanted to Q before I leave” – He bought it :-) [Read More]

Crazy(ish) Phoenix
