Back Blast – The Silo @ North Posh – 02/10/2020

My 2.0 decided to throw a party last night - two separate ones, with the first starting around midnight and the second around 4am.  Needless to say, when the alarm went off to roll out of bed this morning it was difficult. But, I was scheduled to Q.  Which means I had no choice becauseContinue reading "Back Blast – The Silo @ North Posh – 02/10/2020"

Pre-Blast – The Silo @ North Posh – 02/10/2020

I have a love-hate relationship with Mondays. There are rarely times that I actually look forward to Monday - normally that's when it's a national summer holiday like Memorial Day or Labor Day.  Outside of the holidays, Monday means it's a work day - and, the beginning of a work week at that. But, youContinue reading "Pre-Blast – The Silo @ North Posh – 02/10/2020"

Back Blast – Wisteria @ Pleasantville – 02/07/2020

Alarm went off on Friday and I really didn't want to get up.  But, being the Site Q at Wisteria I really have no choice.  Grabbed my phone to check the weather so I can plan my gear accordingly - found a text message from Flounder that he sent while I was snoozing [at aboutContinue reading "Back Blast – Wisteria @ Pleasantville – 02/07/2020"

BackBlast – louisville lovin’ the hills (Abacus) 2/8/2020

Fair disclaimer that Lovin' the Hills (LLH) is not technically F3 b/c it's not free and it's open to women. Having said that, F3 Louisville was out in force! Nearly 15 men (maybe more I didn't see) were on the course getting better and spreading F3 virtues to the broader community. In many ways thisContinue reading "BackBlast – louisville lovin’ the hills (Abacus) 2/8/2020"

Wisteria @ Pleasantville BB 01/31/2020

My first trip back to the house that Grinder built in a while was an exciting prospect.  A busy week at work and three hour beer tasting had me less prepared than usual Thursday night.  Hey no problem!  The possibilities are endless in Pleasantville.  Fast forward six hours and I'm driving that way, listening toContinue reading "Wisteria @ Pleasantville BB 01/31/2020"

Back Blast – Bulletin Q at The Tank – 2/5/2020

I rolled into Vets a bit early to get the Bulletin Board. I was surprised that PK had the WHAS 11 news van there for coverage. It must have been too cold for them, as they never got out of the van. They left and came back for the COT but they must have filmedContinue reading "Back Blast – Bulletin Q at The Tank – 2/5/2020"

The air was crisp this morning as I pulled into the lot at the Bridge with the temperature hovering at 35 degrees.  I didn't really know if it was going to rain or not this morning so I decided to forgo my usual elaborate Q weinke for a drummed down straight forward workout that couldContinue reading "BB The Bridge @ South Posh 2/5/2020 – Cowboy Q"
