Works for me | Long Time Gone

Another Hash Monday is in the books, and I’m here to write about it. The Hare, Leech My Nuggets, notorious for his hard trails, offered us oldsters what he called a “cripple’s” version yesterday. I took it, and it was close enough to perfect for me. The version I did featured one steep but relatively short climb and then a couple of smaller ups and downs before a junction with the familiar My Bitch trail leading back to Alta Vista and the On-Home at Leech’s house. The long version featured an ass-kicking climb to Kalaklan Ridge, then back down to join the portion I did. I chose wisely.

***Hashers gathering at the trailhead on the far side of Barretto. I walked the 2K to get there from my house.***

***And we are On-On! That’s Leech My Nuggets up front with the powder to mark the trail for us “cripples”***

***Someone is unclear on the concept of “taking the trash out.” It doesn’t mean dumping it in the yard outside the house.***

***A brief glimpse of Easter Mountain***

***Our path. The purple line is the way the “cripples” went.***

The nice thing about the On-Home in Alta Vista is that it is easy for me to get home from there. Not even tempted to go into town for some after-Hash imbibing.

***The clouds as I walked home after the Hash***

***And the clouds when I woke up this morning***

Before going to bed last night, I randomly selected the first episode of a Netflix series called “1899.” It was entertaining enough, I suppose, but just now reading the Wikipedia link, I see that it was canceled after two seasons and that the storyline did not reach a satisfying conclusion. Nope, I’m not going to waste any more time on this one.

I still have not heard anything from or about Kevin Kim. Something is going on, and I hope it is not as bad as my imagination is leading me to believe. Kevin lives alone but has friends and co-workers who should be around to provide whatever assistance he may require. I just don’t have any way to contact anyone in Korea that might be able to provide an update.

***Please send positive thoughts or prayers his way***

It’s election season, so I’m doing a little more political posting than normal. Y’all know where I stand:

***Hopefully, the country makes a right turn***

Today’s stroll down memory lane was eight years ago, and it was more than a stroll, it was a climb:

***Up a shitload of steps to the top of Namsan mountain in Seoul***

***A real ass-kicker. (Especially with a pocket full of vape pens)***

Today’s YouTube video is from Reekay, who offers advice on telling your Filipina no. One of the nice things about Swan is that she almost never asks for anything, and if she does, it is usually for a charity project she is involved in. As Reekay suggests, Swan gets a monthly allowance to do with as she pleases, and she lives well within that budget.

Today’s lame attempt at humor:

***I don’t have a drinking problem…I drink, I get drunk, I fall down. No problem!***

Speaking of which, we’ll be heading into town soon for some beer and wine. I’m thinking a nice outdoor venue, either Sloppy Joe’s or It Doesn’t Matter. Hell, maybe both. More tomorrow!
