We were greeted by a grumpy local. Lesson: if you are getting bark at by a dog. It’s your problem… shame on you. Seriously, F’k that guy. He was pissed that he needs to cut his own walk short… I mean he had a ride waiting for him
I haven’t seen the murderhorn in awhile and I always want to PR and I was able to do it again today
We lost Bunker and Roulette due to some nagging injuries after the first subdivision…. Sorry boys.
Gump with the prerun finally got to experience the murderhorn. He may have regretted the prerun, but he got his miles.
Dover (someone correct me if that’s not his name, I will amend the SB) nice to see you out again. He admitted that F3 is harder than the gym, but the gym is warmer…totally agree! Welcome back
Hippie kept me honest all morning. Helps to have someone on your heels. Good luck on your 1/2, you got this!
Roulette is about 6 months from becoming a solid runner… he is in the slow building phase, look out y’all
Bunker and I were partners and I never had some one actually get further away on the handslap merkins… was it something I said?? Heal up brother
Ok, I didn’t Q to help out Fire Hazard. I Q’d because it kept me committed and out of the bed. If you struggle, just put yourself on as a Q. Site leaders won’t care how much you Q at a site or spread the love, grab some Q’s and keep pushing!

When Doves Cry

Date: 2026-02-18 AO: Meathead Q: MARTA , PAX: Blanks, Emoji, Soul Glo, Pepsi, Uncle Leo, taggart, The Worm, MARTA FNGs: COUNT: 8 MUMBLECHATTER A nice morning as the Q set up his ghetto speaker (“the slab”).. the PAX opted for Playlist B and avoided the soundtracks of classic movies for which Will Ferrell hath starred in. Strong start with Prince ending with Modest Mouse. A far cry from they typical grunge.
Chatter was strong and surprisingly free of mockery of those DR or absent. There may be a challenge race between Uncle Leo and my 2.0 in the 25 free this summer… oddsmakers and promoters still working on that one. taggart made an appearance to bolster the chatter and I’m not sure how many rounds Emoji and Pepsi got in… Hydra is rubbing off on them. All in all a solid day and good weather.
Coffee club was good but too much coffee was brought home as the coffee drinking dream team was mostly absent.
