BackBlast #theFOG Abacus Q 6/23/18 @poshlands

Fear slows me down from time to time. Driving home from today’s post I saw a small bird attacking a large predator bird. Do birds experience fear? I have no idea. I know that small bird was running the big bird and having a good go of it. The small bird appeared to be actingContinueContinue reading “BackBlast #theFOG Abacus Q 6/23/18 @poshlands”

BackBlast #theLOCO @thecounty Abacus Q June 12th

This back blast isn’t a reflection on what we did, but rather who we are as men. Life is hard, life is unfair, and often doesn’t make sense. But every one of us gets to choose how we react to what’s thrown at us. Not a week goes by where we don’t quote in someContinueContinue reading “BackBlast #theLOCO @thecounty Abacus Q June 12th”

PreBlast – #theLOCO Abacus Q June 12 0530 at #THECOUNTY

The Ghost Flag has a new home…THE COUNTY! COME TRY TO GET IT! On Saturday several liquor stores ginned up lots of excitement with bourbon releases. Although I wasn’t there, I suspect plenty of “investors” were there telling lies about dusty bottles they have or had or thought about over the many months they haveContinueContinue reading “PreBlast – #theLOCO Abacus Q June 12 0530 at #THECOUNTY”

BackBlast – BlackOps Briar Hill Abacus Q 5/10/18

Oldham County BlackOps scouted Briar Hill Park. Aerial images of the park looked promising. YHC arrived 15 minutes early for a quick tour. On arrival there was a car in the lot with lights on…good sign, right? Wrong! This was someone who apparently had no interest in a BlackOps beat down. In fact he appearedContinueContinue reading “BackBlast – BlackOps Briar Hill Abacus Q 5/10/18”

BackBlast #theFog 3/24/18 Abacus B-Day Beatdown!

I was fortunate enough to circle the sun one more time, so today marked the celebration of Abacus (YHC) turning 41! Of course the beatdown included plenty of reps to 41! Also happens Dave Matthews Band has a catchy tune #41. Interesting lines in the song about playing for all the loniness that no oneContinueContinue reading “BackBlast #theFog 3/24/18 Abacus B-Day Beatdown!”
