YHC has the Q at The Boondocks tomorrow, if you haven’t visited the only AO in  where a shooting  is guaranteed every time you come, you should make the short drive.  We will be doing a 7 of  workout, Derby style.  Maybe even a pre-ruck.  We shall see.  Giddy up.  -Swag DISCLAIMER:  there is no actual guarantee of aContinueContinue reading “PB 4/30/24 The Boondocks – Swag Q”

The morning started early with a pre-ruck at 0445 with Ruby, Portabucket and Swag. Portabucket seemed very sure he could do the normal route, with all the fun hills, and still return your Q in time to begin at 0530. He delivered on this promise. Time was called at 0530, PAX in attendance were: Honeycomb,ContinueContinue reading “BB 4/16/24 The Boondocks – Swag Q”

YHC arrived early, really early…like 5am. It’s a 5 minute drive from my house and I simply needed to determine how far 400M and 100M was. So I’m honestly not sure why I felt I needed that much time. In any case, Virginia Slims showed up around 5:15…I think. So being there a bit earlyContinueContinue reading “BB – 7/25/23 The Planetarium at The Boondocks – Swag Q”

Tomorrow under the 💫 at The Boondocks, yours truly has the Q. It’s not that far, come on out and let’s have some fun. Bring your ruck if you have one, sandbag next and we can make a coupon work if we have to. SYITG.

Better late than never! Pulling a page from Furdays book and doing pre-blast from the car, minutes before the Q. Not much ‘advertising’ value I’ll admit. First and foremost prayers up for PCI and his family. Praying for a full and speedy recovery for your brother! Running back The Mirror workout that I originally didContinueContinue reading “PB – The County – 7/18/23 – Swag Q”

YHC arrived a bit earlier than I expected. Sump Pump even complimented me on it…I think…he said something as he began his pre-walk. I assumed it was a compliment, that’s his way afterall. Before I knew it, we had a a full house. 18 PAX had arrived for the fun. I love going to TheContinueContinue reading “BB – The O(riginal) – Swag Q – 5/11/23”

Going to try something different. I always love those Q’s that are hard but fun too. Helps to pass the time. Edward Scissorhands did that today at The Boondocks! We will partner up, then split into 2 teams. We will then compete to win! The rest of the details are ‘being worked out.’ Grab aContinueContinue reading “PB- The Range at The Patriot – Swag Q – 5/17/23”

I have to admit I was good initially about PB and BB, but fell off of late. I really appreciate Big Bird and The Walt Whitman Challenge for reminding us how important they are. I’ve been a part of F3 for a touch over 2 years now, and I’ve certainly received much more than I’veContinueContinue reading “PB Swag Q – The O(riginal) – 5/11/23”

Exactly 1 month after an unfortunate injury at the 1 year anniversary of The Range at The Patriot being official, I’m making my return to The Gloom. For those PAX on the lookout for a ‘not very mobile mostly stationery’ heavy themed workout. You have found it tomorrow, 0530, The Boondocks (Peggy Baker Park) whereContinueContinue reading “PB – 3/2/23 – The Moonshiner at The Boondocks – Swag Q”

Looking forward to getting out on a Saturday and to an AO I haven’t been to in awhile. We will use coupons and be looking in the mirror a bit. And if there’s more time, we’ll figure something out. SYITG -Swag

Looking forward to getting back out to the O tomorrow morning. Appreciate Handbooks leadership there and wish I could get there more. Bring your F3 issued coupon, sand bag or whatever works. We will do a simple, but difficult workout with a good bit of running mixed in. The start of a New Year isContinueContinue reading “1/5/23 Pre-Blast – The Temple of Gloom at The O – Swag Q”

Are you ready for some football? We all are, college started last week, NFL this week. All is about to be right with the world again, if only the temperatures would catch up. Excited to get back out to The Stable, been blowing up out there! No coupon needed for this one, and I haveContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – 9/8/22 – The Stable – Swag Q”

I have to say I had more fun doing this Q than any other Q I’ve done, hope the PAX did as well! I arrived at 0500 for a quick pre-ruck to get the blood flowing. Malpractice and Boss Hog joined me, which was the first time I think both of them had come toContinueContinue reading “BB – Q School – The Range at The Patriot – 8/24/2022 – Swag Q”

I was merely a participant last year for Q school week and was not far removed from my own first Q. I know it can be intimidating to lead your first workout, many of your fellow PAX know that feeling. I remember not sleeping much the night before mine, and frankly for a few others.ContinueContinue reading “PB – Q School – The Range at The Patriot – 8/24/2022 – Swag Q”

I always love going to The Boondocks as this is where it all started for me, posted first 4/22/21 courtesy of Holy Roller and I think it was a Pelican Q if I recall. I decided to make this workout into a heavy as much as I could as I’ve been trying to strengthen myContinueContinue reading “7/19/22 – BB The Planetarium at The Boondocks – Swag Q”

This one is late, my apologies, but better late than never! I was really debating keeping this Q Thursday night after the modified Robbie Miller Ruck Ops workout. YHC modified way down and it was still brutal. Props do those who have done it with no modification, woof. In any case, I wanted to keepContinueContinue reading “7/22/22 – BB The Defender at The Patriot – Swag Q”

After doing Ruck Ops last night with Diablo and Lambeau, 0430 came very early. In spite of that, I made it to The Vets early. So early Worm thought I may have slept there overnight, interesting thought. I love The Vets site, it’s really a beautiful place, especially on the Friday before July 4th weekend.ContinueContinue reading “BB The Chopper at Vets 7/1/22 Swag Q”

I showed up Monday to let Diablo, Worm and some of the other Vets crew drop some GORUCK knowledge on me as I prepare for the Tough in August. It was a great ruck centered workout, in the process I was voluntold by Worm I would Q Friday, tomorrow since we seem to be pointingContinueContinue reading “PB The Chopper at Vets 7/1/22 Swag Q”

I have to admit, I was a touch nervous about this one. The chatter indicated several FNGs and PAX were planning to attend…Cinco De Mayo, Thurby, Derby Week. Lots of reasons to make it fun and memorable. I hope we did that today! Also, thanks to Viking and Flexseal for having me out to lead.ContinueContinue reading “BB – 5/5/22 – Black Ops Goshen – Swag Q”

Cinco de Mayo, according to Wikipedia, is more popular in the US than Mexico because ‘advertising campaigns by beer, wine and tequila companies’ now help it ‘generate beer sales on par with the Super Bowl’. This popularity of indulging in spirits lines up nicely with what the next few days will bring. The drinks willContinueContinue reading “PB – 5/5/22 – Black Ops Goshen – Swag Q”

YHC arrived early to get setup and make sure some celebratory music was playing as the PAX arrived. Rip Van Winkle and his soon to be named 2.0 FNG, Snaggletooth, arrived early to get flags setup. I mentioned to Snaggletooth that he may be the only one that would like the playlist I put togetherContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – 4/22/22 at The Defender at The Patriot – Swag Q”

It was one year ago tomorrow that I posted for the first time at The Boondocks. The day after I met an incredibly impressive HIM who I now count as a friend, Holy Roller. I am truly thankful for meeting him and all of the PAX of F3 Louisville. It was 5 years ago tomorrowContinueContinue reading “4/22/22 Pre-Blast – Swag Q – The Patriot”

This is quite overdue, but wanted to be sure I post! Our numbers were thinner that day, due PAX traveling and the launch of a NEW BlackOps site in Goshen thanks to Flexseal and Viking! There was also a 2.0 Q going on at Bayside, so plenty of awesome things to support away from TheContinueContinue reading “BB – The Moonshiner @ The Boondocks – 4/14/22”

It has been over a month since I have Q-ed a HAT (Holiday Acronym Tobata). Longer at the Patriot. Tomorrow’s Workout will be a “Plan Your Epitaph Day” celebration. No coupons. Great weather. No counting. We’ll have time to share fellowship (2nd F) while working out, that is if you can get enough air.

To Mannequin’s credit he had the Pre-Blast written yesterday, I, Swag (filling in for Rip Van Winkle while he gets bronzed up in FLA) neglected to post it in time! I offered to post both the PB and BB since Mannequin does not yet have WordPress access. So I dropped the ball there. In anyContinueContinue reading “4/4/22 Pre/Back Blast: The Minutemen @ The Patriot – Mannequin Q”

Weather: Pretty warm, wet from rain…but no rain at start as expected…YET. Pax: Better Call Saul & Second City (DR from Plainfield, IL welcome!), McAfee, Flo Jo, Harry Caray, Handbook, Swag (Q) Q: Swag I picked up this Q last minute as Handbook posted there was a need! Was a little worried about weather lateContinueContinue reading “3.31.22 Back Blast – Temple of Gloom at The O”

Pax: Focker, Knob, Swingset, Layover, Mannequin, Malpractice, Wildflower, Yankovic (R), Holy Roller (R), Patty, Swag, Hightower, Van Winkle, Chili Pepper Q: Lambeau Everyone has that little bunny of doubt or fear bouncing around in their head. Sometimes that bunny is bouncing around aContinueContinue reading “3.30.22 Back Blast – The Range @ The Patriot”

(Completely ripped off from Holy Roller’s strong emoji game, Q edited) ✳️ Tomorrow, a perfect morning for you to experience the Patriot. Our Q Lambeau says that clothes and coupons will be necessary. You can see the beautiful 🏛️ sights of LaGrange, You can hear the strength 💪 of the locomotive 🚂 as it breaksContinueContinue reading “3-30-2022 Pre-Blast – The Range @ The Patriot”

It’s fitting that tomorrow at the Moonshiner we will remember that on March 24, 1973 Pink Floyd released one of the most successful albums of all time, Dark Side of the Moon. Bring your coupon for a workout that will take us from dark to light and back again with a little some running inContinueContinue reading “3.24.22 Pre Blast: Moonshiner @ The Boondocks – Swag Q”

I’m pretty sure this is the first BB I’ve posted since becoming site Q at the Black Ops and now The Range at The Patriot. Honestly, I’m just not nearly as funny or clever as most. But I’ll do my best! Flexseal wrapped up his Patriot tour, 3 Q’s in 1 week I believe, onContinueContinue reading “BB – The Range at The Patriot – The Flexseal Tour Finale 02.23.22”
