Return to TP

Several faithful Turning Point pax, and even some that roam from AO to AO came out to Turning Point this morning to see if YHC could still call an exercise. Or, maybe they just came to see if YHC could even do the exercises that got called this morning. Quisenberry was even early. Weather: mid-70’s, …

NBA??? More like NBEhh!

Seven pax reported in the early, Dutch Fork gloom this morning to get better.  Whether or not that happened is debatable. After some pax at Tuesday’s bootcamp mentioned enjoying the “basketball Q” from a year or so ago, I decided to bring it back.  In spite of it being opening week for high school football, we …

LOVEnotHATE

This was a Q I had been anticipating for a little while, mostly because after missing my previous three Detention beatdowns, Hot-4-Teacher was “most likely” going to be there.

One Year Q

A year ago, YHC came to Ambush after an EH from Sawdust and Kenwood.  YHC was told to bring a towel and a pair of gloves.  Not much more than that.  Dunphy had the Q that morning and YHC will never forget that beatdown.  A humbling experience.  Maybe horrible better describes it.  YHC had to …
