Simple is good
It has been atleast 12 months since I have even posted at The Armory, let alone Q'd. Probably longer. But when Assassin asked you to do something, you do it. Plus it was new and fresh for me which is good for all of us…

We played with blocks at Varsity. You know, like men do...
I was super proud of myself for figuring out how to make my bluetooth speaker work. Then I didn't realize the stupid timer app won't let you stream music while it's on. The music has to be downloaded to your phone. So…

Summer in Oct.
Since Oct at Block Party has been dedicated to Respect Qs, I decided I would push the envelope a little. It didn't help that the weather was consistent with a summer morning, 72 degrees and high humidity!!! After a…

Is This October?
When Assassin asked me to q a while back I thought October would be great. Cooler temperatures and lower humidity. That wasn't the case! Oh well, let's work. COP included the usual suspects and we warmed up and got…

Made it Matter - Quagmire 10/9/2017

Completely Rucked... at The Swamp
When you accidentally snooze too many times and show up late to your Ruck Q at Golden Corral, the only reasonable thing to do is seek redemption the next Friday when the opportunity presents itself. I had watched a…

Trucker Strong
Its been awhile since I had an opportunity to Q the Ranch, so dug into my bucket of go-byes to find something that I haven't done or other Q's haven't done in a while. Sometimes it is just as fun to bypass pull-ups and…

Lead, follow or move that Kettle Bell out of the way
A beautiful morning gloom dawned on The Armory where the Pax came to pick up heavy things and put them back down again. Cars kept coming and the numbers kept growing as YHC barked out the 2 minute warning. Just as the…

Boo Boo Bears and Other Things
The downpour 30 minutes before start time didn’t deter 9 PAX from posting for a soggy morning at Golden Corral. At 0515, four split off to do what ruckers do (see that backblast below), while five stuck with YHC for a…
