Coasting along

A pretty nice Hash trail yesterday. Sure, it had its ups and downs, but don’t they all? A mix of street walking and hill trekking made for a nice ride overall.

Our roller coaster ride for the day. Right around 6K.
Leaving the VFW behind. The VFW is also our On-Home destination. In a roundabout way…
Still on the mean streets of Barretto…
Our “sane” group of Hashers is by far the biggest in the SBH3. Basically, we take a 30-minute headstart every week and shortcut at will. Although shortcuts weren’t really necessary yesterday.
Our newest (and probably largest) named Hasher: 18-kilo ass.
“Over the river and through the woods, to grandmother’s house, we go…” Damn, I haven’t thought of that Christmas tune in decades.
Come on up!
Almost there, ladies.
Taking a breather at the highest point on our trek. We still had a down and an up ahead of us though.
Our virgin Hasher.
Keep on keepin’ on!
The requisite photo of Easter mountain, with a fat guy included at no extra charge.
Regrouping for the final leg of our hike.
Hey, this neighborhood looks familiar!
Oh yeah, the high view from Alta Vista.

And that was pretty much it for yesterday’s Hash. A friend and blog reader, Maria, made me some personalized coasters.

Yep, that’s my Hash name in the beer foam. How appropriate!

I handed some out to my fellow Hashers and they seemed to like them too. Thanks again, Maria.

I also left a few coasters with Pearl to use at her food place. Spreading the joy this holiday season! We also enjoyed a nice lunch together today. I’ll post about that tomorrow.

Saw this meme on Facebook today and had to agree with the sentiment:

So it would appear.

I’ve got some darts in my immediate future so I’d best get prepared for that endeavor.

Stay tuned!

  1. I guess it’s lucky that your Hash is still counted as a Hash even with the shortcuts you guys normally take. Nice hike; great photos.

    Was Pearl working or something? Is that why I don’t see her in the group? Or is she in the pics, but I missed her?

    Did 18-kilo Ass have a beard at the outset, or is this a recent development?

  2. Doing the actual trail is not really required. We have three basic groups–the runners, the “sane”, and the socialites. The runners are the die-hards who like it long and difficult and actually do some running on trail. The socialites are the other extreme and don’t walk much more than going directly to the On-Home venue. Each to his own is pretty much the Hash attitude.

    Pearl has only been to one Hash and that was before we were dating. She has been busy with the new business, but since she is basically a non-drinker, the Hash (a drinking club with a running problem) isn’t all that appealing to her. She does enjoy the Wednesday/Friday group hikes and usually makes one of those each week. I think we will walk together some when she has more free time.

    Re: 18-Kilo Ass. You are quite observant. He recently returned to Subic after some time away and the beard was a new addition. He’s got that Santa Claus vibe happening now! He’s also a regular at the dart tourneys and he’s throwing quite well.

  3. LOL! OMICRON is a anagram for MORONIC. From conservative podcaster Michael Savage’s website comes the following, “National Chair of the South African Medical Association, Dr. Angelique Coetzee, who made an early discovery of the Omicron variant amongst patients, says “the hype” that’s been created surrounding the variant is unwarranted. From the lovely, outspoken Candace Owens twitter comes this, “Great news! Pfizer says that within 100 days it can rework their current vaccine to combat the new variant. So once you’ve had your double jab, plus your booster, you can then schedule your omicron fourth-but-definitely-not-final-jab”. This shit McCrarey, will never end. I’m no doctor but COVID is here to stay just like the flu. I’m not going to live my life in fear. I wear no mask and haven’t had the shots. To date I haven’t had the COVID. Or maybe I have since some are asymptomatic. In any case, IMO, this has become about control, aka Fauci. Regarding 18-Kilo Ass, i thought that was Jennifer Lopez’s moniker. Maria did a nice job with those coasters and i’m sure you will put them to good use. Peace Out!

  4. Yep, more and more people are waking up to the facts as you relay here, Soju. I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but I ain’t stupid either. You learn to live with this virus in the same way that mankind has been doing since the beginning of time. These bullshit “prevention” measures are pointless and harmful.
