A first at The Skinny

“What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise.” – Oscar Wilde YHC has never been to The Skinny, and I’ve always wondered how it was compared to Rock City….I mean, we throw rocks around!  The Skinny does hold its own, and glad to get my first …

The Outsider from Lake Terrace

“There is strength in numbers.” – Swahili Proverb 16 men made up the Pax for today’s beatdown.  Although Uptown thinks there is no one/place else in the world, YHC was welcomed with open arms for a Q at the Birdcage (at least initially). Let’s get to it, but first…. DISCLAIMER Tha …

Life Lessons

“I asked Life, ‘Why are you so difficult?’  Life smiled and said, ‘You people never appreciate easy things.’ ”  – the Wise Man on top the Mountain 15 men overcame their first daily test this gloom (SFx’s Wisdom), and decided to get better today! Here is what we did, but first, …

Acronymophilia

After a friendly reminder from Mother Yankee, YHC showed up early this morning and even with a watch (tho per Roots it was four minutes slow). So after a lame disclaimer, a PAX of an even dozen began the THANG. Mosey to warm up. Good Mornings x15IC Imperial Walkers x30IC …

Fire Mountain

The skies decided to open up in the middle of the night before the workout, which somehow always seems to always happen before YHC is scheduled to Q.  The flooded conditions at the AO required some audibles and detours to get through the workout, but we made it through (somewhat) …

Don’t Bring Me Down

With our scheduled Q Tinkles still on the mend, YHC decided to repeat most of Saturday’s workout. A brief disclaimer then we moseyed to the lights for the first COP: SSH x20, MC X20, IW x15, PP x20, Hillbillies x20, Parker Peter x20 & Seal Jacks x20 After the warm-up we …

Low Slow & Hold

Pre-Thang YHC called out by Yankee that only appearances are when Q’ing.  Guess there’s more Splash Q’ing in the future.  The normal flag staking was blocked off due to track repaving in the park.  Heat wasn’t so bad but humidity was right on up there. Warm-Up Mosey around street car …

The Inaugural Gnarly Nutria

18 F3 Men and about 25 Pokemon Go players invaded Audubon Park last night looking to do something completely stupid and utterly pointless. The F3 men were a success and I can only assume the same for the Pokemon Go players. Put this on your calendars for July 19th, 2017 …

The Uptown Warm-Up

YHC decided to throw a bone to all those living outside the wondrous land we call Uptown. Lord knows Metairie can use all the help it can get. So off 13 PAX went in a long twisty loop around park. Down the track past some lush trees giving off this nice cooling effect, …
