President’s Day. Sort of a holiday? Going by today’s poll, 1 out of 4 have it off, and the 5th is retired, so whatever. Not a scientific poll, but it gives you a sense. To be honest, YHC was not sure what the turnout would be based on...
Read moreNo EC run…too cold to go solo there. YHC, Green Acres, and Transcript got the WoR going in hope that the scheduled Q was on the way, but after no messages from Frosty, YHC took the reins for the morning WoR – SSH x20, IW x20, Whirlies...
Read moreIt was a cold, clear morning at the Launchpad. YHC was going to be there “right on time” so a preliminary text to the site Q was in order before leaving the house. Upon arrival, Burns and Transcript were in the parking lot, ready for action. I...
Read moreTIT wasn’t the only AO scrambling this morning! I awoke to a text from the scheduled Q that he didn’t sleep at all and had a rough weekend – noted. Get your rest, good sir. We’ll get it done. I also got a text from Rubber...

Read moreThis is the first time I’ve never personally scouted a foreign AO that I have the Q for, before. Burns gave me a good indication that almost all the tools are there, and truly there are some great ones. Still, I wondered what would live...
Read moreIt was a high school reunion of sorts on Monday AM at Launchpad – just the two of us former Riverwood Raiders for a light-on-the-legs bootcamp experience. WoR: Extended Broga – a few sun salutations that I probably botched somewhere...
Read moreI believe it was the great philosophers/early 2000’s punk rock band MxPx that once said “Don’t hate me forever, I’m better late than never”. Truer words have rarely been spoken. Coming in just under a month after it...
Read moreThere was a theme, I swear. July 7th….7/7…1977…the year Star Wars and Smokey and the Bandit came into our cultural lives…but leaving the speaker at home killed whatever tentative connection there was to the theme…so we were deprived of...
Read moreYHC was looking forward to cooler temps and humidity in the northern latitudes where the Launchpad lay. Burns had given YHC the heads up that the field had gotten soaked on Sunday, so YHC scoped out the track pre-EC run. It too was in no...
Read moreYHC ventured north this AM to newly re-launched #Launchpad. Man, what a great #AO! There’s a shelter, tennis courts, fields, rocks — what more could you want? YHC put the EH on @Greenspan by telling him I would pick him up at 0510. No...
