Its 40, not 400

A few weeks ago, YHC saw a backblast referencing a “traditional Okwata workout” that involved the levee and some exercises. As the children’s game of telephone illustrates, as word gets passed from one PAX to another, sometimes the message gets tweaked as it gets passed along. And looking at the …

40 Days ’til Mardi Gras

January 24th, 2019. Only 40 days until March 5th – Mardi Gras! And what better way to celebrate than a traditional Okwata 40?!? Even better, its a blustery sub-forty degree day at the Lakefront (YHC’s car said 37 degrees – but that didn’t account for the gales). Good Times! 8 …

AT40 – August, 1978

At last!!!  Cooler weather!  It may not last long, but Thursday AM offered a glorious respite from the usual August heat and humidity.  What more could one ask for – the chance to start the day with the Okwata levee, watching the sunrise over the lake, with an actually refreshing …

The 40, Part 4

Revenge of the 40

Glorious morning on the lakefront, summer humidity is starting to make its presence known.  Pulled in alongside the parked and running cars holding other PAX just waiting to get started.  Yup, that’s Shorty’s car.  And Cowbell.  And ….. Um, no driver in that one.  No PAX either.  Just a ghost car, …

40

Twas sticky and warm at Okwata.  Typical June morning, 10 PAX including YHC set off to better ourselves. Inspired by a recent family roadtrip, when The Best Closing Song for a Rock Concert EVER popped up on Spotify, and YHC got to tell stories about his youth to his captive kids …
