How heavy is a Bonsai tree?
As I was preparing for the Q at Fire Ant I was excited and had everything planned out. However apparently the one thing I didn't plan for was my inability to set the alarm for the correct time. I woke up at 4:55 and…

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…

Fire Ants Conquer the Iron Ruck Challenge
I love the Fire Ant concept! Always a challenge for sure, pushes you to do more. When Spiderman put me on Q I knew what I wanted to do. It was not an original - I took a page from the Iron Pax challenge that has been…

Broga, Tater Special, and Quagmire Handoff
The plan for several months has been for YHC to receive the shovel flag for Quagmire sometime in May. Eventually, the 14th came out as the best option, so it only made sense when the call for a substi-Q went out on…
