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 keepContinueContinue reading “2/13/2018 Blender PreBlast at the Mutt”

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 theContinueContinue 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.

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/couponContinueContinue 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. ContinueContinue 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 beContinueContinue reading “Bag of Wrenches (2/12) Pre-Blast – A Hard Rain’s a Gonna Come”

2.7.19 BB for The Agony at The County

It’s all a matter of perspective. Looking at the forecast for Thursday I was cursing Mother Nature. C’mon! I got the Q! How could you dump rain on what I had planned? But you know what?

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”

I’m not mad, I’m disappointed- 2/9 Ruiner Preblast

Been a long week, so take this with a grain of salt. We got like a grand of us and no one stepped up to Q the Ruiner? I took it because I love it. Do me a favor, though.
