12.16.21 Back Blast: The Moonshiner @ The Boondocks-Mash up

You can totally tell that 1) Pelican misses being out. 2) Pelican misses Dauber more than being out….So…it was about 0527 and Pelican was already there eager to flex his wings. Dauber gets out of his car and barely gets himself into the lone amber lit streetlight at The Boondocks when Pelican takes note thatContinueContinue reading “12.16.21 Back Blast: The Moonshiner @ The Boondocks-Mash up”

12.17.21 Pre Blast: The Defender @ The Patriot-BigBird/ Holy Roller mash up

I’m still trying still trying to figure out how to mash up a Holy Roller and a Bird. Maybe take in to account that Jesus is the reason for the season and mash that up with swans, geese, birds calling each other, French hens, turtle doves or Danny Bonaduce…whatever… Just come out to The PatriotContinueContinue reading “12.17.21 Pre Blast: The Defender @ The Patriot-BigBird/ Holy Roller mash up”

12.9.21 Back Blast: Temple of Gloom @ The O

Speaking of good dudes, Handbook is another one of em. Since he first joined the cool kids club back in September of 2019, he Site Q’s, he rucks, he travels and…he’s inclusive. Case and point, the night before I was set to Q the BOW, he reaches out and says, “May have an FNG tomorrow.ContinueContinue reading “12.9.21 Back Blast: Temple of Gloom @ The O”

12.2.21 Back Blast: The Big Kapowski @ Bayside

Slide Rule is just a good dude…especially for a young whipper snapper. He (among other Bayside HIM) is always trying to keep his fellas engaged, has done a fine job as the site Q on Thursdays and volunteers his time when able (referencing the Squid move where I got to know him even mo better).ContinueContinue reading “12.2.21 Back Blast: The Big Kapowski @ Bayside”

This was a special workout. It was my last Q at age 44 as I turned 45 today (12/5). I was glad to see two different groups doing pre work before the Nest- one rucking and one running.

11.24.21 Back Blast: YNot VQ – The Blender @ The Mutt

I love YNot’s story and am so proud of this dude for how far he’s come! I’m not sure if someone gave him the EHL to Q or if he raised his hand on his own but on this day, at The Mutt he would celebrate his very 1st Q. I thought it important toContinueContinue reading “11.24.21 Back Blast: YNot VQ – The Blender @ The Mutt”

PB: 12/4/21- The Nest at the County- Meter Maid Q

When I originally took this Q, I had planned to make this workout to celebrate my 45th birthday on 12/5. Given the recent events in Michigan, I have created a workout of the day (WOD) to honor, TATE MYRE, a 16 year old football player. He took on an active shooter, sacrificed his own lifeContinueContinue reading “PB: 12/4/21- The Nest at the County- Meter Maid Q”

11.15.21 Back Blast: The Motivator @ The Abyss

About a month ago as were training for the marathon/half, we were having some good mumble chatter as only long runs with friends can produce. One of the topics was stepping up to Q. I mentioned to Dauber (among other things) that I had one scheduled at The Abyss that I just couldn’t recall signingContinueContinue reading “11.15.21 Back Blast: The Motivator @ The Abyss”

BB – 11/15/21 – The Patriot – Meter Maid Q

I knew it was going to be a cold one so I designed a weinke to keep the PAX moving. When I set off from Pewee Valley, it was 32 degrees and as I approached the Colonel William Oldham (CWO) statute, it was 30 degrees. When I arrived early to setup, Ruby was already there.ContinueContinue reading “BB – 11/15/21 – The Patriot – Meter Maid Q”

11.15.21 Pre Blast-The Motivator @ The Abyss: BigBird Q

I wanted to post a cool picture of Colonel Longrun similar to Meter Maid’s PreBlast picture at The Patriot. Unfortunately, the only thing you may be able to see at The Abyss at 0500 aside from your hand just in front of your face, may be the stars in the sky…if we’re lucky. Be oneContinueContinue reading “11.15.21 Pre Blast-The Motivator @ The Abyss: BigBird Q”

10.8.21 Back Blast: The Chopper @ Vets

It was Friday December 20th, 2019. I was on the schedule to Q The Chopper just 3 days before I would go under the knife to repair a torn ACL.

I’m not normally one to make a big deal out of my birthday and don’t usually look to schedule a birthday Q.

BB- The Baptizer at the Garden – 9/24/2021- Meter Maid Q

The Garden is a great AO, one with hills built upon hills. The PAX are always looking to push themselves and this workout was no exception. When I had originally signed up to Q, I had a new workout idea and to my knowledge had not been done there yet. With my right foot needingContinueContinue reading “BB- The Baptizer at the Garden – 9/24/2021- Meter Maid Q”
