Around the Fly

Leading my VeryfirstQ enabled me to get out to Audubon earlier than ever before – approximately 05:20. My Weather Channel app indicates that the humidity was higher than the temperature – 87% vs. 81°, which is hard to believe, because it sure felt hot. We warmed up in place: 40 …

D.O.N.T.S.K.I.P.L.E.G.D.A.Y.

“You cannot build a great house on a weak foundation.” – Chinese proverb 11 battle-ready men gathered around the flag in the Okwata gloom.  Tclaps to Wanker (FNG) for posting, and Tclaps to Bubba & the F3 excuse page (http://f3nation.com/top-five-eh-excuses/) for the EH.  I decided to continue the theme that Tool/JV started …

Rock City Crater Fest

Six veteran F3 gurus posted this am and would later be joined by a seventh. The usual mumble chatter, then the disclaimer, and off in a mosey to the obligatory warm up area. YHC decided to deviate from the normal pre-thang exercises and throw in a few different things from …

Back to the Suck…

After the disclaimer we took off at 5:30 sharp into the thick, still gloom–13 strong. The Thang: Mosey over and around to front lawn of TU, where we picked up Revit for an even 14. We circled up for SSH x 50 IC, then we moseyed over to TD Jesus …
