Beware of the Stink B.O.M.B.S.

So it was only fitting that I reached out to him to see if he was ready to come off the Injured Reserve List to be part of my first Q at Wolverine. He was! Welcome Back Grinch. And thanks to Hi-Liter for bringing breakfast this morning to celebrate the lightest day of the year. [Read More]

Highway to the Construction Zone

I had a route all set and ready to go. YHC tends to leave the park for a roundabout journey as of late, so I was excited to walk it down, what with all the greenway closures in the area. I pulled up Strava just to review last week’s workout… and Rip beat me to the punch. And it was a more ambitious version of what I had scoped out on Google Maps, so here you go trash can, have a plan! [Read More]

Backstory: Build-a-Bear, one day that March, over an adult beverage (of course) says something crass like “you should come out to F3… even you can do it…”. [Read More]

The Finest World Cup Launch in NW Cary on a Thursday Morning......

Today’s magic number was 14, in honor of the day. Tank Top participation was mediocre, with YHC and 8 other HIM’s sporting some form of non-sleeved attire (Red Ryder and Disco Duck being among the best dressed).
