Bad Cousin
4 PAX including YHC rolled in before the 5AM start time at Bermuda Triangle this morning. It was wet, balmy, and almost felt like a summer morning. At 5, I gave the quick disclaimer and we took a mosey around the 1/4…

VQ At the Abyss
The Abyss has been around, what, 2 years or so? YHC has never made it down there, and that's a shame. Not only is it a great, well-lit AO, but the pax there represent Lake Wylie very well! Sure wish Siri hadn't been…

What rain???
As 7 PAX entered The Hive on a rainy and cold Friday morning in the gloom, there was positive vibes in the air. After the disclaimer, we took off for a quick mosey and as we were running, we noticed that Quack Attack…

Double Booked? Nope, Double Beatdown.
Through no fault of anyone that I'm aware, the original Q for the Hive was double booked. Since I know that guy, the PAX probably got off easy with me filling in. Or maybe not. Disclaimer was disclaimed (didn't notice…

Nihil Gastrocnemius
TL:DR version Have to stay off my left calf. I may miss some things or get the order wrong, since I had to modify my plan heavily. We destroyed some quadriceps... We took a stroll to the empty side of the AO parking lot…

Lazy Dora
12 Pax posted to Fire Ant tossed on their rucks and got a little stronger today. With Fire Ant moving to a new location in two weeks I took the opportunity to move us 2 by 2 around the back of Harris Teeter to enjoy the…

Pre-Michael Showdown at the Abyss
YHC didn't look at the weather forecast last night so it was a bit of a surprise walking outside this morning to the pouring rain. No big deal but had to audible a couple of things on the weinke. One thing I love about…

Accountability?
YHC knew it was going to be hard to compete against Maximus and GInsu at the Coop for a QvsQ, but I figured there would be some hearty PAX willing to step up and post; the rain though didn't help. It didn't matter, 3…

A Darth Visor Backblast
I came across this backblast while trying to find something to say about Darth Visor's passing. After reading it, I figured what better way to learn a small something about the man he was, than to "participate" in his…

Reunion Tour @ The Tomahawk
If we go back to Summer 2017... I was EH’d to The Tomahawk by Dark Helmet and Bird Cage. It happened while helping Sharknado move in just down the street. My interest was peaked, so I gave it a try. It was awesome, but…
