YHC was glad to be back ITG after a couple of days tossing cookies and other stuff. The week started off with an unplanned weight loss plan and is ending the way it should, with the finest pax in all of F3 Lexington. Several pax cruised around Lexington during a humid SL. YHC did his …
Cheers has been a long-time Shanker. He is consistent with his attendance, maximizes his efforts, but leaves a lot to be desired (TWSS) with his humor. All around solid guy and a huge asset to F3 Lexington. He and his M have been a long, tough journey for the past year or so. The end …
Tuesday was a humid day at the Shank (and every other AO in the Midlands). Good golly, was it sticky. SL was no fun but was a necessary task for the day. 5 dudes were fast, YHC was not. Upon completion of said SL, YHC asked the pax if they preferred blocks or not for …
Saturday’s ITG are a blast. The Q sheet was open, my sister-in-law was on town, what an opportunity for a morning out with the guys. YHC jumped at the chance to Q and all the pax enjoyed it. Tad humid, perfect day for some block work. Quite a number of these dudes showed up for …
April 15, 1973 was a heckuva a day in the Barrett household. Ma and Pa packed up a suitcase and headed to a birthing ward in a Greenville hospital for the delivery of a budding stud. Pa was in the waiting room, Ma was in the stirrups, and YHC was in the canal. Quite an …
Shawshank has a long and illustrious history of stellar workouts led by high impact men. Today was no exception if I say so myself. YHC had a plan which would push pax to the limit, deepen the bonds of brotherhood, and set each other up for one heckuva Tuesday. Well, all of that is up …
YHC does the same thing every year. Look at next year’s Q sheet and pick one date per month to lead the gang. Some dates are random, some have a special meaning. Today is one of those days that was life changing. 2/22/2002 started off like any other day. Work, play with kids, enjoy dinner …
The Hollow is always a great AO to visit. It was good to see some pax I have not seen in a while and meet a couple of new ones. Fun times at an old friend. The morning was chilly, the skies were clear, and the desire to get better was in the air. It …
YHC was sitting on the couch last night, enjoying the gunfight in Open Range. Great scene, 2 dudes fighting for what they believe in, taking revenge for a couple of friends, and winning the girl at the end. Kind of like my life story but that is a story for another day. Towards the end …
Here is the story of how YHC came to be a kool-aid drinking Shanker. My neighbor, Doc Lovin’, saw me in my driveway on a Monday night and asked what I was doing on Tuesday morning. YHC said nothing and said be outside at 5:15 and a cup of coffee will be waiting. That’s my …
