Get it on

A quick morning post before I head out for today’s Sausage Walk out in the wilds of Castillejos. Not sure I’ll be in shape to post when I get back this afternoon. So, here goes.

Another typical day in the life here in my little town.

My weekly street walk. The pace appears slower than it actually was. I stopped at Angel’s Bakery for some sausage and buns but didn’t pause the tracker.

And yes, I had some afternoon delight as well.

Joy came to visit.
When we were done with what she came for, I treated her to lunch at Sit-n-Bull. Quesadilla for her (I had a bite, and it was delicious. She kept calling it a quesa-dill a. So much for Spanish influence on a culture they dominated for 400 years.
I had the Maui chicken burger. Delightful as usual.

It’s always a nice treat when you are not dining alone. Avoids misunderstandings like this too:

I hate when that happens.

Jim showed up at It Doesn’t Matter, and we enjoyed some beers and chat together. Then we made a rare appearance at Hot Zone and had a nice visit with owner Jay. Still a lot of controversy surrounding the “suicide” of JR. More on that as it develops.

Jim went home, and I finished my night at Alaska Club. They always make me feel at home there.

This morning was all about prepping for today’s adventure.

Made myself a hearty breakfast.
And made sure I had all the requirements for today’s after-hike cookout.
And baked up a batch of brownies for dessert.
All packed up and ready to roll!
Beyond a shadow of a doubt.

It should be fun exploring new territory and, of course, grilling out with the group. Full report and photos tomorrow. Assuming I survive the day.

    This Joy, is the second Joy you have become entangled with. Seems to be she’s your number 1 on this FWB pole .She just may be actually the happiest relationship you have had on those shores. By that I mean she’s quite happy with the arrangements and she’s very much in control of the happiness faucet. She calls 📞 when she needs the happiness, and you respond. Unlike the others whom you keep at arm’s length, you have a modicum of fondness for her.
    I’m sure her husband also appreciates your fondness and the joy you will bring for the family 👪

    Second comment is to commend you on your style. In all the pictures I see you shun the casual tropical look of a ratty T-shirt and old rumpled shorts with sandals, and especially the sleeveless shirts that your friends and foes may wear.
    Instead , you either have a buttoned T-shirt with a collar or even a regular shirt as if you’re going to the office on casual Friday. I’m impressed. If I didn’t know any better ,I would say that the military life has given you this formal dress sense and you don’t do it just to impress the ladies.

    Of course, everything goes out of the window when you’re required to wear the colorful Hash shirt to show off your beer belly. Now that is definitely to impress the ladies, and the results speak for themselves…..anybody yell out your name on the main road recently 😀 👏? Or just in general 😀 😉
    Perhaps in 😊 delight

  2. James, haha! Yes, this Joy is probably the easiest to take. She pesters me about coming to her bar to buy lady drinks, but she is always sweet when I am there. I let her come visit once a month or so. Husband? She told me it was her “brother”.

    Well, I wear shoes because I walk almost everywhere and it is more comfortable than sandals. Yes, some shirts make me look fatter than others, especially those damn Hash shirts. Oh well, I guess a big belly makes me appear to be rich. Nothing more attractive than that in these parts!

    It’s weird that you mention people calling out my name. Just happened again the other day when I was hiking. I didn’t recognize her at all, let alone remember her name. And then there are the trike drivers…”where you go, John?” What the hell, I’ve never told a trike driver my name. I just say “Alta Vista, please”. I don’t get it.
