Wondering why I sent out the BackBlast on Tuesday without the results? Here’s insight why...in 2019 the Region had two PAX members finish Top 10 Nationally for the IPC: McAfee at #6 & Catfish at #7. They may never openly admit the rivalry between them for fittest PAX in the Region, but I will admitContinue reading "IPC ‘20 Week 1 RESULTS from 🍀The Garden🍀 9.1.20"

Pre-Blast Saturday 09-05-2020 – Pelican / Dauber Derby Day Co-Q @ The County
If you know anything about Pelican and me, you know that we pretty much always see eye-to-eye. We both love the Cats and hate the Cards. We are both “Team Who Dey” and despise the steel curtain.

It was just one of those mornings. I needed a rest day, but I had the Q so I dragged myself out of bed and out the door.

In your PreBlast you often put out recommendations for the WO, which 98% of the time go completely unknown because who reads PreBlasts?!?

Pelican BB-IPC @ the County 8.31.20
Started off week 1 way better than week 0. I was on time and present-from there it went completely downhill. I did make one good decision as yesterday Jolly Rancher and I set the location for the playground since rain was in the forecast. The plan was to keep the electronics and the early arrivingContinue reading "Pelican BB-IPC @ the County 8.31.20"

Backblast 08.31.2020 Incubator PK
Thank Stick-up for picking up the Q when I completely disappeared for month, and skipped a Q that I forgot I had. To make it up for that, I made sure to be there this time.

With about 15 minutes remaining and no rain, weContinue reading "Back Blast – The Silo @North Posh"
