DLR's Choice!

Posted on August 29, 2019 | 3 minutes | 458 words |

YHC got on the signup sheet for this site months ago, right when it went live! Who knew I’d get busy at work and home, and let the fitness slide a bit (a LOT). So, with a Q on the horizon, I JUMPed back on the bandwagon last week to try to get my DROP DEAD LEGS back in shape. With all the BRR prep out there, I thought it would be nice to NOT run too far today and to get in some flexibility where we could. [Read More]

Breathtaker Camo Koozie Q

Posted on August 13, 2019 | 3 minutes | 543 words |

YHC bid on and won Breathtaker, a 20lb weight vest that is auctioned off for charity each Friday in South Wake, which comes with a 5 post minimum for the week. Not having earned my camo koozie yet, breathtaker made it’s 3rd appearance of the week so far. 32 were witness to what it looks like to Q with an extra 20lbs, in fact Theismann and Pivot both had their own vests as well!

A few days ago on ye ol’ Slack, YHC saw a cry for help across the chatter-sphere. A stomach bug of some sort was taking out the Slappy family and the FMJ Q was up for grabs. Sensing a distinct gap in my koozie inventory, YHC jumped in. As many of you know, Tuesdays are an infrequent post for me so while the kids are out of school and camp-less, might as well take advantage! [Read More]

POSTED ON BEHALF OF UTI BY YHC EC: Sub, Peeping Tom, UTI, GTL, Squatter Peeping Tom made a call out last week for someone to sub in since he is still technically on the mend. YHC is working on increasing his bootcamp Qs. 2 years in and I can’t tell you how many I have under my belt but it’s definitely not many. Turning over a new leaf in my 3rd year of F3 and making sure to jump on these leadership opportunities. [Read More]

F3 is a funny damn thing. Funny, in that most of us end up doing things that, a few weeks prior to our V-post, we’d have sworn we’d never do. Not that we couldn’t do, but just wouldn’t. Therein lies the truth in Sadclown syndrome. It’s a real thing, but by the time you discover the truth of it, you should be well on the way to a cure. When I look at the PAX names this morning, I see that several have only been posting for a few short weeks. [Read More]

A dozen strong men avoided the big crowds at SNS to particiate in a Vanilla with sauce beatdown under the moonlight in the Lion’s Den on a glorious Wednesday moring. No FNG’s, yet disclaimer should be disclaimed and was with a friendly reminder to modfy as needed. 1st Exercise Pledge of Allegiance and off we went heading out of The St. Mary’s compound. Yesterday I scouted a few areas around Lion’s Den and set my sights on a common area just a short run away. [Read More]

Lion’s Den! Only my second post there, but man is that a nice site. Just wish it wasn’t a 40 minute round trip drive to get there. Ne’ertheless, here we go! FNG check (one!), even numbers check (yes!), <16 people check (also yes!), clunky disclaimer, LET’S ROLL. Mosey around the lot for Carioca both ways, backwards and forwards run, then continue the mosey to the north lot for GM / IW / SSH / CP / SM / PJ / MC. [Read More]

Like the first day of school

Posted on June 27, 2019 | 3 minutes | 501 words |

Like the first day of school, YHC set out clothes, made sure the flag was ready and playlist was primed for the soft launch of HOT FOR THE TEACHER. During my first Q (Hell’s Bells) in October 2018, I created a kick-ass playlist that included everybody’s favorite “Hot for The Teacher” by Van Halen. At one point @discoduck leaned over and said “ This would make a great name for an AO” When we scouted the new Thursday site and first decided on a starting point in the Publix parking lot, HFT was not one of the choices.
