Birthday Redemption

  The clock struck 5:15 and again the familiar beginning of the LSU Pregame show rang out.  YHC stared at his shoes and thought, “It’s your birthday.  No one would mind a fartsack.   Uh oh, you signed up for a birthday Q.”   So with remorse for the decision YHC laced …

Foundry, Field and Four

Summertime humidity is definitely here.  Quite a change from last week, with delightful cool dry air.  Today, our faithful PAX are greeted by the heavy, damp summer New Orleans air.  YHC arrived early to show off his new bright green leprechaun socks (thanks to 2.0 returning from school for the …

Okwata and the DMD

YHC arrived at Okwata wondering which dedicated PAX would show up. YHC was excited when 7 hardcore Okwata junkies emerged from their vehicles to join their QIC in the gloom. The mystery ghost vehicle referenced by Rudy last week was back on the scene. No time to investigate, as 0530 …

Walk The Plank

Another beautiful muggy morning in New Orleans was met by the crew of Audubon Park for what would turn out to be a test of both mind and body (mostly shoulders).  Went as follows: Quick Mosey through the Bag Drop and over to Oak Alley for a warm-up Lunges to …

Blimps and Blimps

It had been many weeks since YHC had been to Rock City.  I felt lost, wandering around the briar patch (i mean grass field).  Would I remember where the rocks were?  Would I remember how to count cadences?  Would Bogey show up to mock me with his singing?  Slowly the …

Pinch Hitting and Pinching

Where are the Qs for The Foundry?  Why is a world traveler from Uptown having to bring out his passport to Q for The Foundry?  Does The Foundry fall to neglect just because Buttercup (YHC meant Amnesty) is sunning himself in The Philippines? Where are the Red Pills, gentlemen?  Then Shorty …

Monumental Mother Ruckers

Five NOLA Ruckers showed up at the Mothership on this fine Mother’s Day morning for a march through history. At 06:00 we hit the streets and wound through the park, passing the museum and onward to the still standing statue of Gen. Beauregard. From there we took Esplanade Ave to …

Birdcage Ruck #3

Two Nola pax met up at the birdcage for another evening of Go Ruck prep. YHC initially thought Thursday evenings might bring a good crowd… You’re missing a chance at some great 2nd F if you’re not showing up. We took off at 18:10 and made our way through the …
