I made it through another Hash and lived to tell about it. So that’s just what I will do. I joined the Hash trail in progress 2.5K from my house. My route had some ups and downs, but only one short climb. Once I was with the sane group of Hashers, it was mostly downhill due to our willfully bypassing two of the climbs planned by the Hare. I didn’t push myself too hard, but I still felt like I had made some progress on my 6K road to recovery. I’m taking it slow and trying to keep it fun. Here is some of what I saw along the way:
The only significant climb on the My Bitch trail portion of my hike. Short and sweet but still had me breathing hard at the top. (sorry about the watermarks on the pics; I somehow inadvertently activated that feature on my camera. It’s off again now.)I said hello and delivered some cookies to my mountain mama friend, Onelia, along the way.This is the spot where I arranged to meet up with my fellow sane Hashers. I arrived at 2:00 p.m. and the first Hasher to pass by was Leech My Nuggets at 2:15.My group of slowpokes arrived at 2:30.Gaining a bit more elevation.Moving in the direction of that familiar mountain.The bay view from here.Here come the Gash.Nice and flat, just the way I like it.The up into Alta Vista was more than enough for my tired old lungs.On-On! Heading On-Home via Gabaya Street.Arriving at Johansson’s.A post-hike meal of “beef stew.” It tasted fine, but not exactly how I would define stew.The price you pay for being last to pay.The punishment for wearing new shoes on the Hash.Lady Hashers of the SBH3.Demolition Derby got the Hashit this week.
I opted not to participate in the after-Hash gathering at It Doesn’t Matter this week. I’d had enough to drink and had something sweet waiting for me at home. I’m becoming so domesticated, it seems.
Today’s Quora Q&A:
Q: If you were to choose how and when you would die what would you choose?
A: I’d choose to die like my grandfather did—peacefully in his sleep. Unlike all the screaming passengers in his car when it went over that cliff.

All right, that’s just about enough of this nonsense, don’t ya think? Back with more tomorrow.

Arriving at Johansson’s.
I forget—you may have clarified this once before, but is it pronounced “Joe Hanson’s” or “Yo Hanson’s”?
With all the dildos, sloshing toilet plungers, and leaking footwear, I found myself wondering just what was wrong with the beef “stew.” Odd taste? Bad beef leading to the wrong texture? Something else?
Personally, I’d have mashed those taters. And beets on the side?? I’d go with something more standard like peas/carrots, green beans, or asparagus.

Don’t know if it is just me, but some of those photos (esp at Johannsons) seem to have some filter on them. They look hyper realistic or over exposed.

That’s all I can remember from third grade. 🤣
DS, Good ones!
Brian, those shots are ones taken by Scott. I’m not sure if he is using some kind of filter or what, but I’ll ask him about it.
Kev, the owner of Johansson’s, is a Swede. I’ve always heard it pronounced, “Yo Hanson.”
There was nothing wrong with the taste of the “stew,” but to me, it was cube beef and gravy with potato chunks and beets on the side. Everything (plus carrots) should have been put together in a pot and stewed. Or call it what it is. I was expecting a traditional beef stew when I ordered, so I was surprised with what was served. I didn’t touch the beets and agree that almost any other veg when have been better. I don’t think I’ve seen asparagus since I moved here.

Very punny!
In that case, you might enjoy Kiefer Sutherland going back to his Irish roots and cooking a traditional beef stew.
