Come on out and play tomorrow. 9 out of 10 Mutts aren’t great at math, so if you’re looking for some funny play on the number 2, you might be disappointed. Although talking about #2s is commonplace on the hallowed grounds of Cherrywood Avenue, so who knows? There’s a 50% chance of a 0% chanceContinue reading “PB – Old Bay Q at the Blender 2.2.22”

Someone signed me up to Q tomorrow at the hardest working 44 minute workout in all the land. The Glorious Mutt at Holy Trinity.

Tuesday night I was tired. I had been on the road with my family for just over a week. It was great…went to West Virginia, and then to Chicago to hang with my family for the first time in forever…then I went to Digiorno’s Birthday Q Tuesday morning…all good stuff, but I was smoked. IContinue reading “Blender @ Mutt 07.07.21 – Old Bay with Da Q”

Corporate gave me the keys to the car again this week. Since the M is out of town, I normally would have had a bourbon or 5 last night, and watched Workaholics re-runs until 2 AM…so this morning’s Q gave me a good reason to behave. Several mother Ruckers continue to build the momentum ofContinue reading “BB 02.27.21 The Hurt at The Mutt with Old Bay”

I’ve totally forgotten how to do this, and it’s kind of a shame. I used to really like writing summaries as a bit of an outlet (I’m a shitty writer), and I enjoyed reading some of the others too. Well, at least the good ones. Imma try to get mo’ better with these. PAX: 12.Continue reading “Rooster at the Mutt 02.26.21 – Old Bay”

Yup. Conditions won’t be ideal, but that’s kinda the point, isn’t it? They are just conditions. Make the choice now to work out or not. We won’t be cold at 0535 if all goes to plan.

This is my coupon. There are many others like it, but this one is mine. Without me, my coupon is useless. Without my coupon, I am useless. Come on out and get better on the glorious grounds of Le Mutt. We take things seriously, but not too seriously.

I worked out Thanksgiving morning, and it was awesome. Great WO from Deuce, great fellowship, and it was my son’s first F3 WO. He did pretty good, asked why these WOs were considered “hard”, and then got named XLAX. Caught a TD in Burpee football. Great day, and then as great days go, OB ateContinue reading “The Hurt 11.28.20 @ Mutt with Old Bay”

Turns out the trained monkeys in the Comz Q department couldn’t help me with the WordPress machine. I checked all my settings, cookies, dropped VPN, I even said “Jewel is just a stu Garden guy” 3 times and clicked my heels. Ended up powering down, and then powering back up. Nintendo. It appears YHC canContinue reading “Whats happening behind the Nerd curtain?”

Its gonna rain tomorrow.   Who cares? You are fortunate enough to own a car, a towel, a house, and a change of clothes when ya get back to that house. Coupons, a little moseying, but no long sustained running.  Actually it’ll probably be easy. Come on out and get better at the Glorious Mutt.

Come out at play at the O tomorrow.  I’m trying to think of some dumb things to do.   Weather looks to be a non-issue. I think the coupons are either broken, stolen, or covered in urine, so running shoes and gloves should suffice. Also, we’re gonna try a new Merkin I’ve invented: Kisses, OldContinue reading “Pre Blast – Ruiner at the Original. Old Bay at the helm”
