Star Child’s 3nd F Day at Sanders Elementary

As many of the PAX have already done, I had the pleasure to visit Kilo’s sister’s second grade class to read a book or two, and to share any ounce of wisdom I could muster. I thought it would be fun to share my F3 name…. Me: Hey, I’m Star Child. (I drew a ⭐️ContinueContinue reading “Star Child’s 3nd F Day at Sanders Elementary”

Preblast – #theFog 3/24/18 at #Poshlands ABACUS Birthday Q

First, before the Preblast, my vocabulary is not at Captain Insaneo levels. So, I will simply say THANK YOU!

B-Blast. Temple of Gloom at the”O” 3/22/18. The bell was answered!!

I was inspired by yesterday’s snowy post at the VET, so my pre-blast was more of a “call to arms” than a description of what might happen in the gloom.  I must say the bell was answered and 20 HIM’s showed up for my 100th post.  I am honored to have led them in thisContinueContinue reading “B-Blast.

@F3theMutt BackBlast- Let’s count…7 inches, 800 threads, Creepy Fiiiiiiiives, and 10 HIMs 3/21/18

We should all knock with our elbows more often. More on that later. My M was in Chicago Tuesday morning, and I was fortunately able to suppress my F3 brain and Thus skip the Rooster. 🤨 But that made me “hangry”. That’s probably not the right word. I’ll check with the F3 lexicon later… Let’sContinueContinue reading “@F3theMutt BackBlast- Let’s count…7 inches, 800 threads, Creepy Fiiiiiiiives, and 10 HIMs 3/21/18”

PreBlast. Vincent at the “O” Temple of Gloom. 3/22/18

I woke up this morning at 4:50 and looked out the window at a blanket of heavy, wet snow covering the landscape.  Perfect morning to fartsack it.  However, I had a few reasons to pull up my boot straps and venture out into the gloom.  Reason # 1, very simple – I want to getContinueContinue reading “PreBlast.

03/20/2018 BackBlast PK’s Millennium Mile

One of the first F3 workouts that I attended was Tool Time’s Kilo Challenge.  As I was thinking of what I was going to do for my Q at the O, this Challenge came to mind.  Now it was named Kilo Challenge for a couple of different reasons.   We will just claim that it isContinueContinue reading “03/20/2018 BackBlast PK’s Millennium Mile”
