Sally Showed Up

My first Q at Lion’s Den and boy am I excited. I’ve got my winkie all set and I’ve researched the area on Google Maps. It’s another hot and muggy morning but with the Shovel Flag planted by Sour Mash we are ready to begin. Disclaimer, no FNGs, Pledge of Allegiance. Set out on a mosey and Site Q tells me we must be quiet as we travel to and use the local park as the townhouse residence across the street claim this park as their own and is part of their HOA.

Like the first day of school

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.

Murph 11 of 19 in 2019

Pre-Blast 16 HIM pushed themselves to their personal limits at HB as part of the 11th of 19 Murphs in 2019. So proud of these guys…everyone was gassed on the last mile. It takes a lot of courage and discipline to push yourself that way. Just awesome. #StrongerBacksStrongerHearts Warmup Because CheddarBo slept in and the gate was locked, we launched from the lower lot. After reciting the Pledge at the Flag, each man grabbed a kettle bell and slow jogged to the pull-up bars. [Read More]
