Hopping, crawling, sneaking, and pushing at Laces In
Truth be told, YHC did not consult his work calendar when Lil E asked him to Q Laces In, and he probably would have turned it down had he thought about it. Once committed, there was no excuse to pass it off. Plus, it’s…

Where is Spring??

The DaVinci Cones® Redux
Forecast called for a warmish start for December, but a high chance of rain, so I wasn't sure if we'd have a crowd or just a few. Very glad to see a bunch of cars when I pulled up. We ended up with 14 including YHC. The…

Someone Say Blackjack
**Posted on behalf of Frat Boy** Had a lot planned for my first solo Q at LACESIN and barely made it through half of it. I guess that’s what happens when you’re having fun playing Blackjack. Small strong group showed up…

Armory - April Showers brings more pain
After being inspired by Airborne at The Hive last Friday, I decided to do a board of pain. But, I don’t have a board so it ended up being a sheet of pain which was in a Ziploc baggie cause of the monsoon we had going on…

I'm here to pump you up
14 pax posted to The Swamp in a Friday morning gloom that had the feel of a summer morning with the warmth & humidity. Maybe that's what had Cable Guy moving a bit sluggishly. Maybe it was his disappointment in not…

Golden Corral Triple Digit 2 Miler
The weekly convergence at Golden Corral did not disappoint again this week. The craziness that we head lock each other into (GoRuck Tough, P200, and just generally getting stronger and better) is the catalyst for these…

Who's got the Q?
Thankfully I resisted the urge of the fartsack because as the Pax congregated waiting to begin with that awkward silence of "who's got the Q" as Cable Guy began to I was quickly reminded that I had swapped with Royale…
