Monday night was like most nights at my home. Time spent with the M on the back deck, chasing fireflies with the granddaughter, eating 1/4 of a box of Lucky Charms at 9pm. Yep, life is good. What a great night of sleep YHC had and when the alarm went off, I was ready to …
The date was April 15, 1973, the location was Greenville, SC. The occasion was the birth of Chadwick C. Barrett, aka – Soaker. I remember the day well. It was hot, humid, cramped…and then, all of a sudden…FREEDOM. I was out, on my own, unattached to anyone for the first time in 7.5 months (tad …
YHC was sitting at Kraft Draft a couple of weeks ago when some fellas from BeechHouse showed up for a few. One thing led to another, and I found myself on the Q sheet. The one thing Home Brew failed to mention when he signed me up…it’s Spring Freakin’ Break week and most of the …
The morning started off pretty dang good. 3 dudes headed out for stride lite while 3 dudes remained behind for the rock. It was a beautiful, clear, crisp morning. Runners returned safely and the rockers had rocked out and took their place in the circle. Dudes chillin’, dudes laughing, and then Brick reminds YHC of …
Late in the week, Brick said the Q sheet was open and asked for a volunteer. YHC is a sucker and raised his hand. Weekends are for unwinding and enjoying time with your buds…that’s just what took place at Shawshank. The morning was clear, a gentle breeze blew in from the southwest, and the fair, …
The best way to get out of a routine is to do something out of the ordinary. Hence, getting out of a routine. I love Shawshank but was itching to Q away from home and saw an opening at The CAT. YHC took the opening and forgot about it until Wednesday when the announcement went …
The Q sheet was open for Urban Legend and the best way to HC for a beating is to take the Q. This Q was a total winger, off the cuff, spur of the moment, spontaneous, on the spot winger. Last night, YHC downed a bowl of Neapolitan ice cream (heavy on the strawberry flavor …
YHC had no plan for the Q until late Wednesday afternoon after posing a question to an unnamed pax. Question…what exercise do you hate the most? Answer…pullups and burpees. Well, well, well, a weinke was born. Sometimes material just presents itself. Sometimes, it just rises up and smiles at you…TWSS (for my buddy, Cheers). 4 …
There was a chill in the air and frost on the ground, HIM’s were all around to be found. Past AOQ’s were a-plenty, as seen by the drone, Lego, Coon Dog, Ken Doll, Dunphy, and Cheers (minus his stone). Studly pax also posted in spite of the chilly conditions, Solid mumblechatter was heard keeping up …
Monday night was a beautiful night with clear skies and constellations filling the night air with wonder. Yep, YHC sat on the back patio and soaked in the night beauty without a care in the world and with no plan for the upcoming Q. Tuesday morning arrived and a plan was hatching in the unrefined …
