Happy days were here again at Thunder this morning, as the band was nearly back together. An appearance from original Thunder member Costanza was a pleasant surprise. All that was missing was Snot Rocket. The show went on, but it still feels like Van Halen without David Lee Roth. The original was the best. …
YHC returned to SwampFox for the first time in quite awhile. Some things are the same – still pitch black dark at 5:30, still fog over the football field. One thing that was different today was the fact that a bank robber was on the loose … with police cars with spotlights coming by periodically. …
7 Pax posted today for YHC’s first Q in awhile. We went for a jaunt into 5 Points, only to be greeted by street sweepers, bar patrons, an EMS crew and the sweet smells of what my friends used to call the “Vortex.” The pax got their money’s worth with plenty of running, some circuits, …
YHC and Chaser were charged with the Q at this week’s version of Battle. YHC got things started off, with Chaser coming out of the bullpen for the second half and some fun on the football field. Things got a little chippy when Okra had some complaints about Chaser’s clock running a little slow. According …
YHC volunteered to pick up Boris’ Q. Due to a lack of planning, we stuck to the basics today at Thunder. While some of the Pax may have opted for some Pilates with Jillian (talking to you Snot Rocket), those who did post got their money’s worth. Weather: 75 and muggy The Thang: Lap around …
8 Pax put in work at Battle for a Hee Haw / Adrian beatdown that included fun with bricks, sleds, a McDeuce and some friendly competition. The workout was without a representative from the Reynolds family – who was busy putting in work at the Mud Run. Sadly, the workout was also without Snot Rocket …
Ever since Sway (remember him?) “encouraged” YHC to look for a new AO a few years ago, appearances at the Brickpile have been few and far between. YHC was honored to make the new Q list, so some old school fun was planned for the 13 of us who posted this morning. Weather: 67 degrees …
9 pax arrived for a Battle Beatdown Saturday, led by Hee Haw and Adrian. It was a little odd with no Splinter, Chaser, Okra … or even Abraham. We did our best to keep things going without the normal “encouragement” from the Reynolds crew. The Thang Run to Circle SSH x 20 (IC) Merkins x …
Rumor has it Hump Day Happy Hour is hurting attendance at Thunder on Thursdays. Boris and crew might have been in the fartsack – but Beta was having none of it. He showed up ready to work, tank top in tow … and only 10 minutes late. His energy throughout the workout inspired all of …
The American press has been shocked by the large crowds drawn by “The Donald” throughout this campaign season. Similarly, YHC was shocked when 10 pax posted in the rain this morning at Score. Out of appreciation and YHC’s strong dislike of cold, wet grass, an effort was made to keep the pax dry under cover. …
