Yesterday to be precise. I mentioned the scouting hike already, but I’ll share a few photos from that event later in this post. Played darts last night at Alley Cats. A singles tournament, but that’s fine by me. Win or lose it’s on me that way. I did a little of both yesterday.

I finished in third place overall, losing to Nancy twice. She’s a solid player and threw exceptionally well in the tourney. I was inconsistent as usual, but I had moments of brilliance too. In my match against Kevin, I opened with a ton-80 (three triple 20s), the best possible score. And then in the cricket leg, I threw a 9-mark, the best you can do in that game. I’ve thrown a few 180s and 9-marks over the years, but I don’t recall ever having thrown one of each in a single match. Didn’t play well enough to make the finals, but still not a bad night of darts.

After the tourney, I went over to Mango’s. I was hungry for those pork chops, but alas, there were sold out. So I stopped at the Kitchenette and they fried me up a couple of chicken wings. Good enough.

That was my night. Hardly worth posting about, but I’ve never let that stop me. Here are a few pics from my hike:

Once we reached the highway, a trike pulled up and offered us a ride. We had parked the Hash truck at Hunter’s Jo Inn, the On-Home location for Monday, about 3K away. How much, we asked, and the driver said 50 pesos. Fair enough, so off we went. Upon arrival, I gave the trike driver 50 pesos and he said the fare was 50 pesos each. Bullshit. I went behind the trike to get a picture of his license number and saw that it wasn’t even a registered trike. Anyway, we just ignored his demands and went inside Hunter’s Jo to have a beer with the owner.

And that concludes this historical episode in the journey of Long Time Gone.
