My name is Double Fault and my last Q was January 18, 2018.
Bulldog asked me a few weeks ago to lead the men of Graveyard. As this was the place of my 1st post almost 4 years ago, the opportunity to Q here would not be wasted. Being the QIC at Graveyard was reason to celebrate, so it only felt proper to have a Block Party. Everyone that posted today got their money’s worth. We ran around and toured Graveyard a bit, lifted heavy things and got better this morning.

Naked Moleskin
- Kotters – great having Ramblin’ Wreck join YHC for the ride this morn and the beatdown. Been too long.
- Cold Hands – Cobains to Cheddar for the Block Party. Last night, he tried to get YHC to promise not to incorporate blocks today. Guess his little hands don’t like the cold blocks. He pushed through and is better for it.
- No LBCs for Spackle – YHC was not aware of the LBC policy at Graveyard. We did LBACs so that was close enough.
- No Discs or Dogs– Noted absences from today’s beatdown were Frisbees (YHC likes to chase the Frisbee), Floppy Disc & Bulldog. Spackle could have used FD’s mumblechatter today to help him get through the Block Party. Bulldog is on the IR dealing with the flu and was unable to join us. Prayers were spoken for his quick return.
- Where it all began – This is the AO of my first post on May 18, 2014- a brutal hour-long beatdown by LOBO on a very warm Saturday. It’s hard to believe it has taken almost 4 years to get back and lead the men of Graveyard. Had a great time today and impressive work by all. It was an honor to lead today.
