Posted on September 25, 2019 | 2 minutes | 349 words |

YHC had been tracking the rush hour Q spot all day waiting on my 2.0 to get home to see if he wanted to go to Rush Hour since his scout meeting was cancelled. Once work was finished and the plan for Rush Hour was decided we had a slack messaging stating the Q was none other than the Triple Lindy and site Q Kermit. After much discussion it was decided that the name on the Q sheet is the official Q so off we went. [Read More]

Posted on September 24, 2019 | 2 minutes | 339 words |

Sometime during VQ week, I noticed that the Kryptonite spot was open for the following week. Boom, chicken soup. Got it. 17 others showed up, and most of the pre workout discussions centered on how no one feared my Qs anymore. 17 is more than I am used to. I would set my PAX over/under at 10.5. And i have had a few last minute fill ins Qs the have upped that to double digits. [Read More]

Posted on September 23, 2019 | 2 minutes | 283 words |

Opening- Working on a short notice from Banjo that he couldn’t Q this morning, YHC quickly threw my name on the Q-sheet. No FNG’s this morning. No sense in wasting any time so recited the Pledge and let’s get working. Warm-up- After a slow mosey around the pickle we circled up for a Crimson favorite of extremely slow Good Mornings, SSH, Sir Fazio, calf stretch, and windmill. The Thang #1- First we counted off into two groups. [Read More]

Changing of the Guard

The time has come for the guard to change at Wolverine. Bogo and Pivot completed their time at the helm. They did and amazing job, continuing what Hi-Liter and Biner so graciously began two years ago. The workout and transition went something like this. Well, maybe it was a little more American. Maybe not quite that patriotic and brave. More like this. Yes, the workout today was based on the GHHS Color Guard conditioning routines which are set to music. [Read More]

PAX: Hi-Lighter, Torpedo, Repeato, Silverback, Happy Gilmore, Jigglypuff, Gibraltar, WKRP, Honeycomb, Ripcord, Sabre, Flaco, Katniss, Armpad, Kidneystone, Smokey, Mudbuddy, YahBaby, Prodigal, Hotspot, Old Maid, WWW, Largemouth, Chantecler, Michelob, The Joker, CK, Gump 27 PAX showed up for the big show last Wednesday. I didn’t plan on being one of them. I have to thank Hermes and Honeycomb for “voluntolding” me. Still being green and unsure of how bad this could turn out, I decided to make 2 rules: (1) Keep it Simple and (2) Make it really hard so no one could complain they didn’t get a good work-out.

Letting Go at Slippery When Wet

After two and a half years of posting, YHC finally got around to Q’ing. It was a glorious day for a VQ as the feel of fall was in the air and the PAX were in a jovial mood. We had 22 PAX in attendance (including 1 doing the IronPAX) and there were no FNGs. We started with the pledge and then ran to the playground-facing lot for a warm up as it was the only lit area in the entire AO beyond the bathrooms. [Read More]
