Eureka!

Yeah, for example yesterday I backtracked the trail that had dropped me near my subdivision (Marian Hills). With that as a point of reference I continued on from that intersection and followed a path that I discerned would lead closer to my goal. And sure enough it did, although I had to exit through private property, including going through a gate. I think I will leave from where I want to end up tomorrow and I should be able to intersect with the trail I took yesterday. Process of elimination…

Past forgetting

Haha…You don’t have to click on it, it’s an offer to view memories, not a requirement. Imagine what I could do with a little self-discipline!

Leech My Nuggets

Cool, I’ll check the camera and/or apps and see what I can do. Thanks!

Lost and found

Yeah, I try to keep it safe. I don’t want to be the “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” guy…

Journey to the center of the Earth

But then you’d feel left out! 🙂

I got nothin’

I used the my domestic helper’s set of keys to get new ones duplicated for me. I’m going to trust that whomever might find my old keys will have no clue as to where I live.

And yes, tomorrow will be a new opportunity. Who knows, maybe I’ll even do it right!

Talking to the moon

Thanks Jerry. Here’s hoping. All the bet to you as well.

Goodbye again

Thanks, Brian. I’m ready for the next big thing!

Eh, did the grieving long ago. This is about self-preservation. Her loss.

Sunny beaches

Yeah, it was all pretty much flat which made it doable.

And Heidi’s loss. She doesn’t know what she is missing!

Out of this world

The look on his face was more in keeping with “why are you smiling at my wife?” than one of brotherly love.

Good luck tracking down your gal. Odds are of course that even if you find her it will come to naught. But, a one in a million chance at a once in a lifetime love is still worth the effort. That’s how I see it anyway…

Wow! I thought you DIDN’T go back! Okay, well like you said all you can do is try. And it only takes once for the stars to align and everything changes.

Or not.

The news at 8

Sort of like the “I Seoul U” signs on the Han River…

Up the creek

2nd, that’s always one of my concerns. I do carry my phone so I could contact someone, but telling them how to find me would definitely be an issue. I imagine I might say call one of the Hashers, they know this trail….

Yes, it is cornbread. No recipe, it’s a mix. You should know I’m only a pretend chef… 🙂

What’s love got to do with it?

Heh, indeed! You still can go back to see her on some pretext!

Oddly enough, Heidi mentioned that movie when she was explaining to me what the Camino de Santiago was all about. She didn’t know the name of it though, so that’s a big assist. Thanks!

It could be I’m trapped in a paradox. I crave a smart woman but alas, smart women are smart enough to avoid me. Damn, I hate when that happens!

Curses, foiled again!

Yeah, I’ve been talking to my fellow Hashers and they assure me the trail is there. I think I’m just taking wrong turns or something. So, I should find it through process of elimination. Eventually.

Stymied

Orienting sounds really interesting. Haven’t heard of any groups here that do that, but I’ll keep me ears (eyes?) open. The other issue for me is some of these trails get a little dicey and I worry about being out in the wild on my own and falling or something. The path I recall was relatively safe and easy.

I did x-country in high school….

Haha! I’ll try MORE beer first then!

» Posted By John McCrarey On 06/January/2019 @ 2:13 pm

Thanks, Thomas. It’s worth a try…

Good advice, thanks Kevin. Actually on my walk today through the valley I was looking UP to the mountain for landmarks I might utilize. The obvious one being some power lines.

As I’ve thought about where I might have gone wrong I remember one spot with a trail going left and another going right. The problem was I was standing in a squatter’s yard surrounded by barking dogs. I looked at the squatter and shrugged and he pointed left so I went that way. Probably should have gone right.

Another issue is that with the Hash we go over and around fences and through people’s yards. I’m just not comfortable doing that, especially on my own. So even with your method I might have a hard to keeping in the right direction.

I’m going to give it another try soon though, we’ll see what happens.

Thanks, Kev. As always, I appreciate your support.

Best wishes for the new year to you Kevin and Frank!

Cookin’

Yeah, Frank. I’ve gotten some advice on tenderization, and I am trying different marinades now. Appreciate it!

Merry Christmas guys…appreciate it!

Signs of the times

Well, you make some valid points Kevin. I wouldn’t go so far as to say FWB relationships are impossible, but I have to acknowledge it’s a slippery slope. My reaction last night illustrates that I do have more of an emotional investment than I intended. I’m probably going to need to back away from her, but that’s proven to be easier said than done.

As always, I appreciate your insights which have given me some food for thought.
