YHC had a sneaking suspicion when I opened my eyes that my wake-up window for making the scramble had already started closing, rather than opening with the sounding of my alarm at any moment. I had to pee and I was wide awake – my body was screaming at me …
Well, as they say… that happened. The FBI physical fitness test pre-thang Q’d by Grundy started promptly at 0545 as promised, but it would require a prodding Bushwacker to keep this thing on schedule. You see, until this morning, none of us (least of all Grundy) realized just how patriotic …
The beautiful weather brought the largest group of pacs that we have seen a while at the Mothership. We had 15 total including three FNG’s. I am glad that I brought some coupons with me, so that I would not dissapoint. Warm-Up SS Hops-25 IC, Seal Jacks- 25 IC, IMW’s-25 …
“Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.” “The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it, as long as …
The F3 Nation knew about YHC before YHC knew about the F3 Nation. You see, YHC’s brother-in-law, Lynchpin, lives in Charlotte.

Has it gotten to the point yet (can it really ever) to where it’s passe, redundant, or simply monotonous to mention anything about the frigid temperatures we’ve been facing this winter? I didn’t think so either….It was DAMN COLD this morning! All the better reason to abbreviate this morning’s edition …
Knowing that it was going to be cold on the Mandeville Lakefront this morning, YHC cast about late Friday for an appropriate pearl of wisdom to drop on the PAX. Almost instantly, Thomas Paine’s immortal words from the American Revolution came mind: These are the times that try men’s souls. …
“Shoeless” Joe Jackson: “Is this Heaven?” Ray Kinsella: “No, it’s Iowa.” YHC has never been to Iowa. He has, however, been to Baton Rouge….Saturday morning as a matter of fact…and has to admit that Highland Park is beatdown heaven. If we build it in Baton Rouge, they will come…just like …
Three above average men converged on Captain’s Cove in search of some warmer conditions on this 10k journey. Started with a COT and off we went. Traveled north on Jackson hooking a left on the Trailhead. QIC was in search of a warm street without the wind as he realized …
