Twas the gloom before Christmas and all through the hood the scramblers were gathered though the weather was not good. The shovel flag was planted at the AO with care in hopes that the Q would eventually be there. The PAX nestled snug in their running attire while visions of …
You guys will do whatever it takes to keep a guy on the straight and narrow. Looking back at my one and only backblast (VQ on 11/14), it was late just like this one. A little headlocking and friendly ribbing may just be the encouragement some of us need. I …
All these holiday drinks…peppermint mocha, hot buttered rum, eggnog…anyway, inspired by recent coupon beatdowns, YHC had the idea to add a little SPICE to today’s beatdown by adding something new. After all, its the holidays and YHC likes the holiday drinks. So, desperately rummaging through the garage hoping to find …
YHC was excited about sharing a beatdown to celebrate my 50th year on planet Earth, arriving 20 minutes early to plant the shovel flag at the Unit. Sneakily tiptoeing around the pre-thang crew so that they wouldn’t notice, I got back and arrived on a chilly morning just as the …

Many of you know I lost my job in September and went through some spiritual warfare for a couple of months. I did a devotion called DEFCON that helped me through, and vowed to share it when I got a job (offer came in last week and I start Dec …
Arrived at the A1c with just the site of AO leader Jose 10k’s car at the top of the garage. YHC thought the Gloom would produce few PAX however the sight of only ☝🏼 sure brought down my spirits. Wouldn’t you know it Einstein came from the stairway then BBQ …
Early birds were abound with Hammer in his usual cabin light- lit reading position, while Cowbell and Steve, one not to be outdone by the other, were both putting in some pre thang milage.
