2/13/2018 Blender PreBlast at the Mutt

I saw this picture on twitter of a donkey wearing a scarf and couldn’t stop laughing.  I really wanted to try and work the pic into the pre-blast but ultimately decided not too. Also it has nothing to do with the Blender or my Q tomorrow.  Anyway, I’m hoping the dry conditions will not keepContinue reading "2/13/2018 Blender PreBlast at the Mutt"

Bag of Wrenches Back Blast (02/12/19)

When the alarm clock went off at 0445 this morning I heard the rain beating against the window and really wanted to turn over and go back to sleep. Truthfully that's why I signed up to Q: Because I've been turning over and going back to sleep too often and it shows in everything IContinue reading "Bag of Wrenches Back Blast (02/12/19)"

Pre-Blast 2/14/19 – # The Loco @ The County

I [briefly] thought about doing a Valentine's themed Q, but I'll save that for the M challenge.  Pitchers and Catchers report to spring training this week and baseball used to be one of my favorite things. You don't need to go to FL or AZ for spring training this year, just come out to theContinue reading "Pre-Blast 2/14/19 – # The Loco @ The County"

Backblast – Black Ops @ The O – The Pax of Two

5:24 am, I am pulling down the street at Seneca, rain pinging off my windshield and I see no one. I mean NO ONE.

I back into my parking spot and there are literally no other cars inContinue reading "Backblast – Black Ops @ The O – The Pax of Two"

Back-Blast 2/11 @ South Posh / The Incubator

13 entered Vikings world of pain on this cold raining morning.  An Indian run over to the overpass reviled a coupon surprise.  After partnering up, we alternated between sprinting to the other side of over pass and doing 5 burpees, while the remaining partner chips away at the following… 200 curls w/coupon 200 bench w/couponContinue reading "Back-Blast 2/11 @ South Posh / The Incubator"

PB – LOCO at the County 2.12.19

Looking forward to getting back to the County, although I won't get to see the Ghost Flag at the Mutt, but hopefully it is still there after tomorrow.  Weather looks like it will continue to be wet and unpleasant, but getting out in this type of weather is now a lifestyle which I choose to embrace. Continue reading "PB – LOCO at the County 2.12.19"

Bag of Wrenches (2/12) Pre-Blast – A Hard Rain’s a Gonna Come

I don’t know for sure but I’d like to think ole Bob Dylan was thinking about posting at Bag of Wrenches when he wrote “A Hard Rain’s a Gonna Come” in ‘63.  Whether this was the case or not I doubt he’d use it as an excuse not to post. It will most likely beContinue reading "Bag of Wrenches (2/12) Pre-Blast – A Hard Rain’s a Gonna Come"

2/8/19 Pleasantville Back Blast

There's an old saying, "If you don't like the weather, wait a minute and it will change."  The past few days have been down right weird weather-wise.  From seasonably warm weather to the Polar Vortex, followed by great golfing weather, back to cold, back to warm with storms and now back to below freezing withContinue reading "2/8/19 Pleasantville Back Blast"
