Y’all heard about this new podcast? Ha! Of course you have, YHC has been shamelessly plugging the heck out of it. With that, a purrfectly timed Q’d was in place at SNS. After going in the studio of HIM of the year nominee, Disco Duck (here’s the ep), it was time to roll and YHC knew for a fact that the fellas would be fired up.

So except for the 3 new AOs, Rush Hour was my last site to Q to complete the 2018 Challenge. I had only been to RH one other time, the week before, but it was enough to scout out some locations and get the skinny on how things go down here. I had been told to expect a small group, so I was pleasantly surprised to see 11 other HIMS ready for the beat down. [Read More]

21s for Double Down

Posted on December 4, 2018 | 3 minutes | 458 words |

Our bros in Louisville put a call out to the Nation this week. To post on Tuesday, wear black, and get a pax picture holding up Ace of Spades to show support for Double Down, who is starting his fight against cancer. For me, it’s cool to see his name is Double Down, which we probably all know is a betting strategy in Blackjack. Cancer can be a game of blackjack sometimes. [Read More]

Changing of the Guard

Due to technical issues, there is not a way to have the QIC list both Beaker and YHC as the QIC but he was in the mix and deserves the glory. Warm-up Beaker led all the PAX from the flag over to the other lower parking lot and back again to get the legs moving. Once we circled back up we enjoyed a few other treats: SSH x 20 Windmills x 10 Slow Count Merkins x 10 Good Mornings x 10 Thang 1 [Read More]

You Better Hurry Up

You Better Hurry Up….. Many years ago, my grandpa used to say, “You better hurry up”. I never fully understood that phrase until I got older. Now that I’m a respect, I fully understand what Paw Paw was saying. When I look at my kids, my wife, my career, I realize that time is very precious, now more than ever. And if I needed any additional reminders, when speaking with @Frisco on the way back from JoCo, I told him about my bucket list. [Read More]
