PAX – Little Jerry (R) and Abacus Q met at 0750 for a fun jog through Jefferson Memorial Forest along the Silt Stone and Scott’s Gap Trails.

BackBlast – 1/24/19 #theAgony @theCounty Abacus Q

Earlier in the month YHC agreed to Q on the 24th. I expected by 1/24 work would be back to a normal pace…it has been busy and this slipped my mind. Luckily, I saw Big Bird recruiting PAX to skip the Abacus snotwoggler and meet him in a nest at the poshy confines of #theMutt.ContinueContinue reading “BackBlast – 1/24/19 #theAgony @theCounty Abacus Q”

Backblast- 1/24 Temple of Gloom at the – A morning of surprises
