BB Wisteria at Pleasantville 4/19/19

My return to the Q at Pleasantville was a tough one to plan.  I don’t mind the rain, but I don’t necessarily like standing in it and one of the best features of this site, the amphitheater steps,  was sure to be sloppy. Conditions weren’t so bad when I woke up, but that quickly changedContinueContinue reading “BB Wisteria at Pleasantville 4/19/19”

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 withContinueContinue reading “2/8/19 Pleasantville Back Blast”

On April 22, 2017 I showed up to the first F3 Louisville workout at the Seneca Park Tennis Courts (The O) with a couple of others not knowing at all what to expect.  It was a rainy, cold morning and my wife and I had just brought home our third 2.0 from the hospital theContinueContinue reading “State of the Region and Changing of the Guard”

I had the day off work yesterday and decided that we needed something fresh for the weinke today and i have never really looked at the Exicon much.  So after an hour or so of sorting 700+ options (it’s a really good resource) I had what I thought was a pretty solid workout.  Now, beingContinueContinue reading “Back Blast Norton Commons BO 10/12/18 Zima-Q; Opposites Attract”

BackBlast NC BlackOps 7/13/18 Abacus Q

July 13th marked my second trip to NC for F3 and my 3rd trip ever…normal a joint that nice releases the hounds when I get near. Cloaked in the darkness of the gloom, my entrance was stealth and I avoided detection by the locals. Grinder arrived first and was readying the flag for what wouldContinueContinue reading “BackBlast NC BlackOps 7/13/18 Abacus Q”
