Do you ever find yourself just walking through life day after day, but never really taking a minute to pause, reflect and celebrate where you came from, where you are and where you are going? More importantly, celebrate that achievement with others? If you’re being honest, then I’m sure all of the PAX can sayContinueContinue reading “CELEBRATION DAY – Pre-Blast – Jolly Rancher Q at The Range at The Patriot – 03/15/2023!”

I’m headed back to my old stomping grounds at Pleasantville – and I couldn’t be more excited. Well, that is assuming Subprime didn’t give away my Q or doesn’t pre-blast something else later today. For those that may not be aware of this diamond in the rough, it is by far my favorite AO withinContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – Jolly Rancher Q at Wisteria at Pleasantville – 03/10/2023!”

Bring a coupon and a friend for some partner work. SYITG – Jolly Rancher out!

Yes, this is a little tardy. But, in my best Marshawn Lynch voice, I needed to post something so I don’t get fined by F3 Leadership. Weather looks great for tomorrow morning. Come on out and join me for what is for sure going to be a fun one. Bring a coupon! Jolly Rancher out!

I once posted at Posh on a Saturday when it was just The Fog. But, this will be my first visit to the reboot of The MAJESTIC Fog. I can’t wait. Hope to see you there! Be prepared for a little bit of everything…coupons not required. SYTIG – Jolly Rancher out!

Tough week at work. Which means I’m cranky. Can’t wait to take it out on you guys. Almost guaranteed that there will be a pre run or ruck at 6am if you want double the credit. Otherwise, we’ll get moving at 7am as normal. Bring your coupon or get one from the cache before 7am.ContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – 02/11/2023 – Jolly Rancher Q – The Nest at The County”

I checked. It has been since May 6, 2022 since I made my way to the greatest AO of F3 Louisville. You read that right – nothing tops the allure, amenities, and possibilities of Pleasantville. I knew it had been a while, but I am a little surprised it has truly been that long. IContinueContinue reading “Pre-blast – Jolly Rancher Q – Pleasantville BlackOps – 01/16/2023”

As a resident of Shelby County, I like to make a visit out to the incredible men of Bayside regularly. Sadly, it’s been too long since I was last there – but that all changes tomorrow when I make my triumphant return. Bring your coupons and SYITG! Jolly Rancher out!

Posting on a Monday has proven to be difficult for me for some reason over the past quarter. So, why not pick up a Q to force me out of the fartsack? Come join me at Posh at 0530am to start new traditions. Coupons not required. SYITG! Jolly Rancher

Come put a bow on the month of November with me tomorrow at The Patriot. Don’t forget your coupons and FNGs! SYITG! Jolly Rancher out!

Yes, you read that right. We’re going to do it up like we’ve done the past few years at The County and celebrate things the right way. That means we’re going to have all of the food choices that you love to smash down your piehole during Thanksgiving. You want mashed potatoes? We got ’em.ContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – 11/24 – Thanksgiving Day Buffet and Football at the County – Jolly Rancher Q!”

PAX IN VAN #2: Air Raid (R) PK Motor Boat Alicorn Meter Maid Captain Crunchberry Jolly Rancher (YHC) TRAINING: Before signing up for the Bourbon Chase, I had done very little research about it.  In fact, I had done zero research about it – but I had heard from others that it was a greatContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – 2022 BOURBON CHASE RAGNAR RELAY – Van #2”

I’m a few days late already, so will make this one brief… PAX – Natty Lite, Sump Pump (R), Viking, DeVitto, Handbook, Finkle, EZ Pass, Jewel and Jolly Rancher (Q) Time was called and disclaimers provided. We did some quick COP which included the normal fanfare of SSHs, Grass Grabbers, Toy Soldiers, Downward Dog /ContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – Baptizer at the Garden – 10/07/2022”

I’m fresh off from vacation, which means tomorrow has the beginnings of being an epic failure or just plain epic. Come see for yourself which way the winds blow in the morning at 0530am. Bring a coupon if you don’t like the ones next to the dumpster. SYITG! Jolly Rancher out!

Not really sure what is on the menu for tomorrow morning’s weinke. So, that could mean it’s going to be really good or really bad – come find out which one. Whatever I decide, it’ll start with side-straddle hops…that’s like the sixth core principle of F3, right? Coupons will be needed and we’ll move aroundContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – Jolly Rancher Q – The Defender at The Patriot – 09/02/2022”

Four years ago. Man, that’s hard to believe. I remember it like it was [almost] yesterday. And somehow within those 4-years I’ve posted 750x. I’m still no specimen of good health, but I’m certainly better off than where I started before I found F3. And, as a result I’ll chalk that up as one forContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – Jolly Rancher’s 4-Year Postiversary and 750th Post – Loco at The County – 08/02/2022”

Four years ago…hard to believe. I’ve learned a lot about myself since then, I’ve enjoyed the new friendships, and I’ve done things that I never dreamed I would ever think of. Oh, and this actually is in celebration of my 750th post, too. Bring a coupon. And bring a sad clown that needs this inContinueContinue reading “Pre-blast – Jolly Rancher 4-Year Postiversary – Loco at The County – 08/02/2022”

Going to keep this one brief… Time was called at 0530am and disclaimers provided [or at least I think I did them]. We moved straight into the normal Jolly Rancher COP – read prior blasts for what that entailed. PAX: FurdaysVirginia SlimsBrown WaterHoney DoBulletin (R)Holy Roller (R)LayoverJolly Rancher (Q) The Thang – Interval Running: WeContinueContinue reading “Backblast – The Planetarium at The Boondocks – 07/26/2022”

Weather tomorrow looks perfect. Come join me for some celebrations. No coupons required. Running shoes will be needed as we will be making our way off of campus a bit. Call a HIM you haven’t seen in a while and let’s go! Hope to see you there! Jolly Rancher out!

A while back I reached out to Virginia Slims to see if the Q on 07/26/2022 was open because I didn’t see it on the calendar [my actual birthday]. But, unfortunately it wasn’t and I just can’t read…so, when Rip Van Winkle needed some help on 07/25/2022 I jumped at the opportunity and said it’sContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – The Minuteman at The Patriot – 07/25/2022”

Tomorrow’s my birthday Q. But, keep the presents at home as it’s not technically my birthday (which is on Tuesday). Instead, bring your coupons and let’s have a party at 0530am at The Patriot. SYITG! Jolly Rancher out!

Dot reached out a few weeks ago asking if I could Q the Ruiner – as always, I said yes because I can’t say no. Meanwhile, I always love it when Site Qs ask people to Q versus throw out an empty calendar asking people to sign up. This just means he must want aContinueContinue reading “Pre-blast – Jolly Rancher Q – The Ruiner at The O – 07/09/2022”

Last minute audible to pick up this Q from an ailing Captain Crunchberry. Never fear – went to my stash of pre-planned weinke and grabbed the one that was speaking to me when I made my way towards the car. PAX – 3G, Virginia Slims, Backflop and Jolly Rancher (Q) COP – normal stuff, nothingContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – Moonshiner – 06/30/2022”

Glorious morning today spent with the PAX that call The Patriot their home. A bit cooler than yesterday, too, which I call a win.

I know, I know…I thought Captain Crunchberry had this Q….? Seems he’s got more important business to attend to in working on the running BlackOps at EP Tom Sawyer (shameless plug for that for those interested). That said, you’re stuck with the more handsome brother, which for those debating it…that’s me. No coupons for thisContinueContinue reading “Jolly Rancher Q – The Range at The Patriot – 06/15/2022”

Rolled into the parking lot around 5:15am and it was empty. Took a nice gulp of refreshing water to get me one step closer to surviving the 80 degree morning workout.

Yes, you read that right – tomorrow, June 14, is Flag Day. What does that have to do with my Q? Well, you’ll have to come on out to The County and find out. If you have an extra shovel flag for some reason laying around – you know, if you’re a washed up Nantan,ContinueContinue reading “Pre-blast – Jolly Rancher Q – Loco at The County – 06/14/2022 – FLAG DAY!”

As month four of 2022 comes to an end, I ask ye to join thee for a gloriously good time in the gloom as we approach the seventh hour of the 30th day. Bring coupons just in case…weinke still under construction. SYITG – Jolly Rancher out!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY F3 LOUISVILLE! If you’d like to take a trip down memory lane [for those OGs out there] or for those relative “new guys” that may not know the history of F3 Louisville, here’s the very first backblast posted when the shovel flag was planted at Seneca Park [now known as The O] backContinueContinue reading “F3 Louisville – 5-years and New Leadership Announcements – 04/22/2022!”

Will keep this short as I’m already a few days late. Threw out a pre-ruck option and had four other HIMs [Chili Pepper, Holy Roller (R), Rip Van Winkle and Fitbit] decide to take me up on it – it was great mumblechatter with some PAX I don’t frequently get to see in the gloom.ContinueContinue reading “Backblast – BlackOps at The Patriot – 04/16/2022”
