Valentine’s Day Hash

VD fell on Hash Monday this year. That apparently caused a conflict of interest. The number of attendees was way down from normal, anyway. My girl wasn’t particularly pleased with my decision to Hash instead of romance, but as I explained to her, I could do both. I also noted that she could always join me at the Hash which seemed to end the debate. Anyway, I did the trail but skipped the Hash circle rituals. Yesterday was my 119th consecutive week of Hashing so I didn’t want to break my streak. Once I paid my fee, my record was intact so I could safely leave early and treat my gal to dinner at her favorite restaurant. So, win-win, right?

The trail as laid. I shortcut the second climb though.
Only 5 of us “sane” Hashers yesterday, the smallest turnout in recent memory.
Leaving Alta Vista. Yeah, I took a very similar shot of Easter mountain on my Sunday walk. Just in case this one looks familiar.
Making our way through Marian Hills. The portion of the trail we did was all pretty familiar terrain. The Hares did a crappy job marking the trail though, which was pretty irritating.
One up, one down, and the rest was flat.
The climb wasn’t that bad either.
Nosey Bastard lurking about at the top…
Marks we could actually see were few and far between.
12 Kilo Ass heading on down.
ISD bringing up the rear.
Maybe you can see the arrow on this post, but it’s a strain to do so. No powder at all on one of the major turns leading to the second up. I had no interest in making that climb and the poorly marked trail didn’t make me regret the decision not to do so.
I got my rocks off making my own way back to the On-Home.

As I mentioned above, just a couple of beers at Blue Butterfly then I went to meet my dinner date. Other than her, the best part of the meal was the view. My dinner was served almost cold. Service was slow. I’m not sure why Papagayo is her favorite place but I’m reluctant to go back after my experience last night.

The view was good but not much else.

Finished the night at the GF’s new place, called The Snack Bar. More drama courtesy of the Dick, but I’m pretty much at the point where I just shrug it off. It must suck to be a loser like him and I can be thankful that I’m the better, and luckier, man.

There you have a snapshot from another day in the life and times of your humble correspondent. Stay tuned for more installments.

  1. As long as the day finished well, that’s all that counts.

    So 18-Kilo Ass is now 12-Kilo Ass? Or am I misremembering his designation?

  2. HaHa! He has been losing weight but the name is still the same. My brain on the other hand…

    Pretty impressive though that you have mastered these Hash names better than me…
