  • Why is the sun so bright

    YHC took us out

    Moleskin: YHC changed into his F3 attire at work. As expected, there were questions: “Where are you going?”, “It’s raining”, “You’re working out outside in this heat?”, “You’re crazy.” Then there’s the traffic, the sun, and the humidity. A thousand excuses to come up with by 6:00pm on why I can’t make it. But if you conquer all that, you’ll be wonderfully surprised to find a great AO and some of the best F3 guys around. Great to meet Slider, Banksy, G Force and Birdman. Well done today boys.

    YHC took us out.

    Moleskin: Things are just a bit different out in Chester. The temperature is 2 degrees higher; the humidity is 100% higher, and the sunrise is an hour later. The commute not so bad. Well done today, boys. YHC planned to use the football field but noticed the closed field sign. It’s nice of them to get this field in shape for us to use for a future beast.

  • We run these courts!

    The three amigos put in some extra work this morning, right after Morning Wood and Rock & Roll. We headed to the courts to challenge Ethel and Frank in our off-the-books Pickleball training session!

    Oyster / Paul (78 yrs old) (W) vs Nancy Lopez / Hardywood (L)
    Notes: Paul asked multiple times if these guys have played before…

    Oyster / Hardywood (W) vs Nancy Lopez / Kim (L)
    Notes: It happened so fast, I forgot what happened.

    Oyster / Hardywood (L) vs Nancy Lopez / Val (W)
    Notes: Nancy/Val strategy was “when in doubt call the ball out”…. it worked. jk jk, Well done! Nancy was unstoppable this round.

    Oyster / Hardywood (W) vs Ash / Kim (L)
    Notes: Hardywood was locked in, played the kitchen, deadly serve, drove it home. They never had a chance.

    NMS: If you don’t have a partner yet for the PB Tournament you better grab Nancy Lopez or Hardywood they have been working on their game and it shows!!
