When our fearless (fearful?) Master Q @disaster announced on Slack Sunday that no one was on the Q for Monday’s Mettle, YHC eagerly snatched the reins. Why? Well, for 1) @barrister had already grabbed the vacant cruise and after last week’s audit, I’m eager to retain my 2019 Q title into 2020. And B) YHC […]

Two is Better Than One
Six escaped the Monday fart sack and found their way into the Gloom for some Monday Mettle courtesy of YHC, who took the Q yesterday after @disaster’s ‘This Week at Highlands’ Slack post looked quite sparse. The weather was great and the mood was jovial as we gathered and waited for 5:30 to strike. Once […]
Fall Equinox – Mettle Style

Five fine men made the decision to leave the fart sack behind and come out for some mettle this morning. Another 2 escaped their fart sacks for the Murph, but with low attendance they were welcomed into the mettle Pax with open arms. Yes, I chose to use the “fart” in fart sack twice for […]
Hang Glider
If you have not seen the attached video watch it for some context. It left me wondering how long I would last and wondered which of the pax had what it takes to go the distance. Matt, the new FNG, stared out on the right foot with a warm welcome from one of the local […]
