PB WARNO Enemy Force Near Vicinity of AO Gardens.

The men of AO Gardens have reported actionable intel. The enemy (Doomed to Repeat), has been spotted in the area surrounding the Gardens and appears to be strengthening.

Pre-Blast 12-28-20: Sadie Q – Incubator @ South Posh

Until Stick Up sent me a message a few hours ago, I completely forgot I was on Q tomorrow. I’ve spent the past week doing the only other thing to do at 05:30 if you’re not ITG (in the gloom).. that would be ITDB (in the duck blind)!! I’m coming off a long 7 dayContinue reading "Pre-Blast 12-28-20: Sadie Q – Incubator @ South Posh"

Backblast-Dauber/Pelican Dream Game Co-Q 12/26/20

The build up for this co-Q was a bit like the build up for the big game. Usually this is a day circled on everyone’s calendar but since both Qs kind of have been off their game there wasn’t as much buzz. I like, the Cards, have been nursing an injury and have had someContinue reading "Backblast-Dauber/Pelican Dream Game Co-Q 12/26/20"

PB – 12/26/20 – Sump Pump Q – The Hurt at The Mutt

It will be my last Q as site Q for the Hurt. It will be cold. But after all that food you had today, you'll surely have a little extra to keep you warm. Come out to The Mutt with a pair of running shoes and gloves. Both will be needed. Christmas Day may haveContinue reading "PB – 12/26/20 – Sump Pump Q – The Hurt at The Mutt"

Pre-Blast-12/26/20 Pelican/Dauber Dream Game Co-Q at the Nest

I can only assume the above photo will be getting a re-boot after the way the Cayuts have started this year (Dauber wanted to use a picture of Katina but after Bird’s blast on Tuesday we were afraid it would be to be too explicit). Join us for a warmup at the County. No couponsContinue reading "Pre-Blast-12/26/20 Pelican/Dauber Dream Game Co-Q at the Nest"

BB: 12/24/20 Cratchit and Tiny Tim on Christmas Eve at the Agony

Like a kid on Christmas Eve, I had a hard time sleeping last night. It was my first Q with Tiny Tim and I was so excited to get going. We had planned everything out the night before, set the Christmas playlist and were ready to go. Except that I woke up at 2 amContinue reading "BB: 12/24/20 Cratchit and Tiny Tim on Christmas Eve at the Agony"

12.24.20 BB The Inferno @ The Station-BigBird Q

12.23.2019 - I went under the knife to repair a complete tear of my ACL. As I was reflecting over the last year, a flurry of thoughts and emotions came over me. Everything from: thinking I’d be ready to return in 3 months (if Tiger or Devitto are reading this, they’re laughing their a$$es off),Continue reading "12.24.20 BB The Inferno @ The Station-BigBird Q"

Pre-Blast: 12/23/20 – The Tank @ Vets

Life has thrown me a couple of curveballs recently that have kept me out of the gloom for the most part over the past month. I’m back with a bang tomorrow as Q @ the one and only Vets. One of the curveballs I mentioned was a knee injury that I’m still not fully recoveredContinue reading "Pre-Blast: 12/23/20 – The Tank @ Vets"

BB Squid Q – The Fog @ Poshlands 12.19.20

In the pre-blast I pointed out that a lot of the Christmas songs drive me crazy. They start their relentless repetition sometime in October, I think, and don't stop until the tree is removed and all signs of the holiday are gone. I found a weinke that someone built around the twelve days of Christmas.Continue reading "BB Squid Q – The Fog @ Poshlands 12.19.20"

12.18.20 BB-The ‘06 @ Mary T-BigBird Q

Death, taxes and mumble chatter at the Mutt. Sump Pump, BUSCHHHHH, and Deuce agreed that they were indeed all certainties as some strong fellowship was happening even in the midst of a pretty solid wienke. Rewind about a month ago when Digiorno reached out to me and asked if I knew anyone outside of theContinue reading "12.18.20 BB-The ‘06 @ Mary T-BigBird Q"

Back Blast – The Nest @ The County – 12/19/2020

I'm on record saying this, but I'll say it again - The Nest is my favorite workout of the week. It's a time for a little extra credit, a little longer of a workout, full of 2.0s, and normally lots of banter, mumblechatter and shenanigans. Today would be no different.

Well its that time of year again. Christmas spirit abounds. Our homes are cozy and festive. A fire cracks in the fireplace, casting its warm glow and ambience throughout.
