I’ve been looking forward to this one for a while. The Patriot is the hottest BO in the area and already is gaining quit a following. After getting beat down by Le Pew’s nuclear recently, I had the idea to find something else that could be done with the nuclear inspiration. Knowing this was HolyContinueContinue reading “BB The Patriot – BO @ La Grange 03.22.21”

There are a few AO’s town that you know you have to bring a little extra heat, otherwise they’ll probably run you off. There are other sites that you can come with a little less and you will still be told “great Q” when you know it was fairly average. Vets, like the Garden, isContinueContinue reading “BB Squid Q – The Chopper @ Vets 02.26.21”

This morning was one of those where I would have much rather remained in the fart sack. Thanks to my commitment to Q and the strict requirements of the IHC, I begrudgingly made my way to the gloom. Shark Bait and I showed up about twenty minutes early so I could get set up. WithContinueContinue reading “BB Squid Q – Cloverfield @ The Garden 02.25.21”

Tomorrow is leg day at Vets. Leave the coupons at home, but bring your ruck if you want a little extra heat. SYITG

Bring a battle buddy and a coupon to the Garden tomorrow. I’ll see if I can put something together that will challenge the self-proclaimed “Hardest Working AO”. SYITG

Tour de ‘Ville de Sequel Stop #9 Apparently F-Stop is tired of my shenanigans since he was a no show today. At 0515 I gave the disclaimer and we did a little warm up. The 4 Abyss regulars, minus F-Stop and Harbaugh, were ready to put in the work. The only thang was going toContinueContinue reading “BB Squid Q – Escalator @ The Abyss 02.24.21”

Tour de ‘Ville de Sequel Stop #8 Le Pew was hyping today up by advertising the Ghost Flag and a highly anticipated visit by Tony Malito. There was also some planning going on by the Abyss guys because we wanted that Ghost Flag. I figured there would be a decent showing so I had toContinueContinue reading “BB Squid Q – Planetarium @ The Boondocks 02.23.21”

We’ll be keepin’ it movin’. Leave your coupon in the trunk, that won’t be needed where we’re going. SYITG

A combination of watching the Dark Knight trilogy and Qing 5 of the past 7 days led me to be a bit creative for today’s WO. The weather was a balmy 41 degrees with a bit of residual rain from this mornings surprise shower. 10 PAX showed up with a little time to spare forContinueContinue reading “Squid BB – Incubator @ Posh 02.22.21”

Grab a coupon and head to the home of the ‘Ville’s most persistent recruiters. Pelican and Jolly Rancher have the Q elsewhere, so the Boondocks should be a downright delightful place to spend your morning! SYITG

The temp in the gloom this morning was 4 degrees of sheer frigidity. We had snow or ice off and on for the past two weeks. Some of the snow was cleared, other snow was compacted and turned into ice and some snow remained untouched. The O is a sprawling shaded park. Sunshine hadn’t hadContinueContinue reading “BB Squid Q – The Ruiner @ The O 02.20.21”

Shark Bait and I have been watching the Dark Knight trilogy the past few evenings. How DC ruined such a monumental reinvention of a franchise is beyond me. And now, over the next year there will be three separate actors playing Batman in completely unrelated roles? What a mess. But, I digress. Last night weContinueContinue reading “PB – Incubator @ Posh 02.22.21”

Last time I Q’ed at the O, I brought a bunch of new stuff that required a decent amount of demonstrating. This time, we’re going to keep it real simple. Dress warmish and leave the coupon at home, it’s going to be cold but we’ll be on the move the whole time. SYTIG

Tour de ‘Ville de Sequel – Stop #5 of 12 With the unpredictable weather, I reached out to Digiorno and suggested he have a backup plan in place. I intended to make it out, but I wouldn’t know until 4:30 the next morning. I haven’t tried, but I’d imagine coming up with a Q beforeContinueContinue reading “BB Squid Q – Extender @ The Mutt 02.18.21”

Checklist for tomorrow’s BO: SelfFriend (Bonus for FNG)CouponWarm attire SYIYG

Hey Mutters, I have no idea what we’re going to do tomorrow. Bring a coupon for some work that’s likely to be mediocre at best. Either way, it’ll be worth it… maybe. SYITG

Tour de ‘Ville de Sequel – Stop #4. I started my early trek to county by falling down the 4 steps outside my front door with my coupon and water. Since Pelican already has a list of actions that equate to the verb “squid”, I decided I couldn’t add anything else to his list. So,ContinueContinue reading “BB Squid Q – Foundry @ County 02.17.21”

Grab a coupon, bring a friend and be ready to put in the work before the next apocalyptic blizzard hits the area. Don’t worry about any of the other PB’s that will come out today, just head out to the County and ignore all other options! SYITG

Both Natty Lite and I are in hot pursuit of the coveted Iron Horse and this “away” Q was another check mark on our list. That said, with the closure of both of the ‘Ville’s Poshest of sites, a modification was in order. We decided a Co-Q at the rolling hills of the Garden wouldContinueContinue reading “Squid/Natty Lite Co-Q – Poshes @ the Garden 02.15.21”

Stop 2 on the Tour de ‘Ville de Sequel, the sprawling campus of Bayside. There are other AO’s with a significant amount of space, however Bayside’s painted parking lot football field is pretty unique. Because of that, we were going to spend some time here today. I showed up early to make sure the lotContinueContinue reading “BB Squid Q – BO @ Bayside 02.13.21”

Like the weather recently, I still don’t know what we’re going to do tomorrow. We’ll keep moving enough that the temperature won’t be an issue though. SYITG

Once I decided to jump on the IHC train this year, I quickly got to scheduling my Q’s. Today is the first stop on my Tour de ‘Ville de Sequel. This time I will be hitting all 11 official AO’s and all three recurring BO sites (weather permitting). The first 13 stops will be consecutiveContinueContinue reading “BB Squid Q @ Wisteria – Pleasantville 02.12.21”

There are times in life that we climb the proverbial mountain looking find greener pastures. Sometime we find the paradise we were seeking, other times we climb the mountain only to see another peak to be traversed. Tomorrow, we will find out what lies on the other side of Mt. Pleasant. Suit up and rollContinueContinue reading “PB Wisteria @ Pleasantville 02.12.21”

The PAX were informed that we were going to take a short mosey to the fountain where we would remain for the duration.

Tomorrow is going to focus on legs and glutes. No coupons, gloves if you want to keep your hands warm, wear your ruck if you’re feeling froggy. SYTIG Squid

Watching the weather and recognizing the date, I knew this was going to be a “We don’t get up for easy” kind of day. After ringing in the new year with the wife and kids, I headed off to bed for a few hours of sleep. When the alarm went off, it didn’t take longContinueContinue reading “BB Squid Q – Gladiator @ The Abyss 01.01.2021”

You know how we all have a hard time remembering that the year changed and we inevitably end up typing last years date for about a month. Yeah, we’ll work on that tomorrow.

7 PAX showed up ready to work at 0530. Disclaimer was given and we took a short mosey to the back of the high school. We circled up to get stretched out and warmed up. After a few exercises our last HC showed up making 8 in attendance.

If you haven’t made the trek across the county line all the way out to Bayside, tomorrow is a great day to check that endeavor off your list. I don’t have any good reason for you, I just think it would be a good time to visit this gem that sits near the outer limitsContinueContinue reading “PB – The Max @ Bayside 12.29.2020”
