6 years ago tomorrow a neighbor of mine invited me to a Saturday morning workout with a group of guys at Seneca park. The selling point was that it was free. What I didn’t realize was that for the low price of free I would get a great workout, meet a great group of guys,Continue reading "PB 05/10/2023 – Methane Q, the Bridge at the Parklands"

Backblast – The Cliffs at The Garden 5.9.23 – Jewel Q
I had an old electrician during a summer job tell me, "Joshua, all you gotta do, is be 2% smarter than what you're working with." He said that applied to anything... wires, tools, and people.

Since it's "Whitman Week" (I know, I know...it's more than a week...but Whitman Month was not as catchy).

BB-05.02.23-LoCo @ The County: Kitty Litter Q.
The Oprah-Bomb theme message for this WO: For many men out there, it's the fellowship & community (2nd F) that's the most challenging work to conquer and overcome. Absent opposing forces (Newton's 1st Law), most men would continue to drift towards quiet lives of isolation, gravitate towards selfishness, assume unhealthy levels of independence (often withContinue reading "BB-05.02.23-LoCo @ The County: Kitty Litter Q."
