An Amble Down Evans St
Not too cold today but colder than Mid-April should be. Man tights everywhere. After a little stretching we ambled across the railroad tracks to Evans St and started downtown. Good mumble chatter and Reef was alerted to an enroute pit stop should his inner demons...
AFROMAN
YHC woke early and was ready to get this workout rolling, today being 4-20. YHC was encouraged by the HC’s, as the PAX had taken it upon themselves to call this one the “Afroman”. A quick message, the night before to Proctor to make sure he was going to be there was...
East and West Meet at the 38th Parallel
Carterico is a clannish land. Most of the early settlers that established our cherished treasure of a home were the descendants of the 2nd and 3rd sons of English aristocrats that wanted some cash crops from the Virginia colonies. YHC’s story is from a man named...
My Next Car Will Not Be German Built
It was another beautiful Arctic Circle spring morning in the land called Carterico. Hillary feels that empirical data suggests a New Ice Age, YHC is inclined to agree. After early morning pleasantries were exchanged, the pax mosey'd to the track and 200m around it...

Westward Breezes in Eastern Reaches
As has been the case for the better part of four months now, the westward winds have not stopped causing havoc...luckily today the wind did have a slight southerly component! The opportunity to Q at the Man-o-War was something I looked forward to for a long time (that...
Thor’s hammer
Ron Burgandy reached out to Steamer and myself early in the evening, last night to see about converging our Warmarama and COT. The plan was to bring together the gentleman that may not get a chance to have met each other. We both jumped at the chance! I’m sure Ron...
The Metal Detectors are working
YHC agreed to his VQ during the COT yesterday morning. So much excitement and trepidation from that moment on, so many great Q’s to live up to, the pageantry, the exhilaration. YHC spent all afternoon at the AO scouting, planning, plotting so that he could live up to...
RIP Gunny
Ask any Marine who the "Gunny" was and they will almost certainly reply with Lee Ermey. The icon made famous by Full Metal Jacket who epitomized the Marine ethos of first to fight, passed away Sunday at the age of 74. In honor of the man who motivated so many of us...

White Caps in the Commode
15 souls that identify as men came rolling into the parking lot built by Captain Tony Seamon. 3 generations of Cartericans washed and served many a dish at ye ole Sanitary Restaurant. It was a coming of age and the first place one likely got the digits of a out of...

YHC was excited to see a number of folks decided to join in for his virgin Q! Much appreciated Purpose statement, disclaimer, and greeting was given. Warm A Rama Slow Mosey one block proved be a good start to the workout given the 30 mph headwind. Sun gods cotton...
IF you can’t do it, don’t Q it. Or let the veteran Pax step in to help out.
After a 2/4/6 month hiatus, YHC finally returned to the F3 workout with renewed vigor and even less stamina than before. Upon arrival at the Knarr, Blart was more than gracious to give up the Q to an FNG (according to Pasqually). It was like doing a VQ all over...
