  • Pre-Blast HDHH at the new DaVille AO and Ratskeller

    Below is a copy/paste of original message by Circle K.  Bumping it back up for max coverage.  Text AYE to 804.263.3570 for RSVP to the Ratskeller (so I know how many glasses to clean).

     

    It’s time for some 2nd F. Why not launch a new F3 AO, while enjoying some coldbeer, hot eats, and a campfire.

    Lab Rat and I have been talking about establishing a new F3 AO in Mechanicsville to increase the F3 RVA Pax and the F3 footprint in the RVA area.  Come check out Da’Ville for March 2016 HDHH at Atlee High School, 5:15pm.  The plan is to meet at Da’Ville for a 30-35 minute F3 workout to check out the new AO site.  While we are working out, Lab Rat is going to be tending to his home brew, slaving over the BBQ/Smoker, and building the campfire.  After we finish sweating off a day’s work, we will form a chain of cars to Lab Rat’s place for some outdoor 2nd F.  What better way to rehydrate after a workout than sipping home brewed beer and eating some of Lab Rat’s home made eats, while singing KumBaya around the campfire.  If you can’t make it to the workout, plan on coming to Lab Rat’s place around 6PM.  Atlee High School is located at:

    9414 Atlee Station Road

    Mechanicsville, VA 23116

    Lab Rat’s Address :

    9212 Wagon Court

    Mechanicsville, VA 23116

    The plan for Da’Ville is to incorporate the new AO into the rotation beginning on Tuesday, March 22, 2016 at 530am.  As NoToll is growing to record numbers every week, Tuesday’s will allow for another option for the F3 RVA Faithful (possibly keeping the NoToll numbers manageable and allow NoToll continued growth) and attract new Pax members from the North of the River (ie, Mechanicsville, Ashland, Northside, West End, etc).  If you have been putting a friend, colleague, family member in the Emotional Headlock for a while, invite them to the new AO, Da’Ville, for an introduction to the three F’s of F3.

  • HDHH: Loose Goose thinks the beer has gone bad at The Answer

    THE THANG: Drink good beer and fellowship at The Answer.

    The PAX were quite successful in their mission.  Well done to all!

    Here’s some notes on the night:

    Splinter and Toga were eagerly participating in THE THANG well before six.  YHC arrived shortly prior to the designated time and found them well into the workout already.

    Happy 40th to Loose Goose!  Goose now having trouble seeing small type and was overwhelmed by the scrolling HDTV beer lists behind the bar.  YHC bought Goose his first beer in celebration of the day, to which this scene from Can’t Hardly Wait played out almost word for word.

    Toga is the Johnny Cash of our PAX; he’s been ev-er-y-where, man for F3 workouts.  “Brother Trent” has been anointed with the laying on of hands in Jacksonville, he’s had his heels nipped by the Hate-Hates in Nashville.  There’s even a rumor Toga barely avoided a tune-up by insensitively using the phrase “Hate-Hate” at some youngins once.  Ah Millenials … apparently for the twentysomethings “Hate-Hate” is THEIR word, not ours, Toga.  Maybe we can see about donating a Lite Brite for their safe space?

    Rumor has it that many moons ago after TYA finished business school, he bicycled across the United States with his wife.  YHC has no confirmation whether they rode a tandem like the Doublemint Twins right over the Rockies but until proven otherwise that is how YHC will imagine it forever in his mind.

    Speaking of biking, Lab Rat is considering the 100 mile run/ 100 mile bike challenge in March, but needs some convincing.  YHC observed he might be self-conscious of showing up to class at VCU off his bike as not just “the old guy” but as “the old, stanky, sweaty guy” once the warmer weather comes in March. Courage, Lab Rat, courage …

    The PAX has noticed that Spinter’s hair is getting decidedly shaggy, much like Mattingly’s sideburns.  Will the coming of spring force Splinter to shed once he sees the shadow of his emobangs?  Stay tuned.

    Lockjaw was quite proud of his increased aptitude at counting from his VQ to his second Q.  As Lockjaw told YHC on sharing my hesitance to Q due to my athletic inabilities. “If you can count, you can Q!”

    Well said, Lockjaw.

    The PAX is very interested in what EF Hutton has up his sleeves for his Virgin Q at NoToll this coming Tuesday.  Come out and see for yourself!

    Keep an eye out for more AOs!  Lab Rat is eager to get a workout up and running in “Da Ville” (which confused everyone into thinking “C-Ville” because we forget Mechanicsville is a real place .. Godspeed on that one, dude) and Goose seems all fired to get someone else to initiate a Tuesday workout in the Pemberton/Quioccasin area… maybe Byrd Middle School?

  • 1st Annual BrewThru Recap

    Eight reindeer ran into the gloom for a special holiday tradition that will be repeated.  We had perfect weather and a solid dose of good cheer to see us through.

    THANG:

    Welcome and disclaimer.  Consume.  Run from Stangeways Brewing to Ardent Craft Ales.  We planked a couple of times to stay in a group and had a celebratory set of decline merkins on the steps of Ardent.  Consume.

    Run from Ardent to Isley Brewing Company.  Peoples chair, rosalitas, and staggered merkins before entering.  Consume.

    Run from Isley to Hardywood Park Craft Brewing.  Consumed and talked about doing it again with different venues.

    Moleskin:

    The PAX agreed that this was a worthy endeavor, and it’s a shame so many were in the sick ward and couldn’t attend.  YHC barely made it following his own illness #CarrierMonkey.  Dabney Rd proved to be the most “interesting” section as there was no sidewalk, lights, and very little cautious driving.  We were well equipped with lights and leftover Halloween glow sticks provided by Pelosi 5-0.

    Lockjaw, who helped plan this little excursion, remained oddly certain of our directions through the industrial park despite two errors, #SelfConfidence #IDontNeedDirections.

    There were a couple of stares as we executed merkins in front of Isley.  YHC chalks it up to jealousy of the fun being shared.  We just need a bigger reindeer team the next time we do this.  Doner Kebab earned a LIFO for leaving us at Isley, but it should be noted that he was going straight to an event with his wife.  Lesser folks would not have attempted this.

    This will without go down as my favorite Christmas/Holiday Party.

    We also had some great pics along the way, but the ghost of Mr Jobs killed my phone this morning.  Recovery is looking unlikely.
