HEADED NORTH

Leaving on our 6 hour trek to New Hampshire, so no posts until tonight and sporadic over the next few days. Looking forward to meeting some TBPers at Hardscrabble’s annual shindig. I hope I won’t be required to slaughter my meal. 🙂

Luv to go but probably get lost charting a course..
What with the earf being flat it is sooo damn hard to walk in a straight line while maintaining a proper heading…

North… pfft child’s play.
West.. well that’s a real mindfuck!

Maybe next year I’l try…

I’ll be interested in any tales from the front.
Suspect, upon meeting a few scribes with known personality traits,
that the appearance and character might be in contrast to prior perceptions.

You know, kind of like when we’ve heard someone on the radio over a period of time, then, upon meeting them, or seeing a picture, we think: “Whoa. Didn’t expect him / her to look / be like that. He / she is way more _________ than I thought they’d be.”

OR, perceptions will be fulfilled, exactly as envisioned…

So, upon meeting X, we might come away with: “He really is quite _________.”

I’ll leave it to the non attending monkey’s imaginations on the blog to get creative with that one.

e.g.,

Upon meeting _____, he really is quite handsome and likable in person. Phunny little phocker.

Upon meeting _____, he really is quite arrogant, drinks too much, and is rather confrontational.

Upon meeting _____, she’s an attractive gal, with a soothing voice, and a nice set of……..eyes.

SAFE TRAVELS TO ALL ON THE JOURNEY, AND ESPECIALLY TO ADMIN & ANY FAM JOINING HIM.

When I met Admin & Avalon in NYC a while back I thought — “Damn, she’s hot!! What the hell is she doing with HIM???” lol

Wish I could be there. Hope someone takes lots of pics and does a nice write-up.

I was out the door when I read that your not going. I would need you to be there or else I’d be surrounded by bubbly, chatty, outgoing people and that would be hell for me.

You know, I am reluctant to use Spanish swear words because they can be used inappropriately. Although Montefrio thinks pendejo means young boy, it is a harsh word in Mexico. And those fuckers love bad words.

I wish everyone a grand time. I would point out it may be a good idea to be cautious with photos as far as posting or distributing. Five years from now MSNBC will be saying “here is a picture of X at a radical blah blah blah picnic” at an “extremist compound” in the remote etc etc. They won’t believe you were discussing sustainable farming or how to harvest syrup even though you were.

Sorry I’m missing out a on all the great food, libations and the great company! I’m hoping this event will be so successful you may consider an annual gathering.

Remember, no rough housing and keep your hands to yourself.

Reign/verb:to possess or exercise sovereign power,i.e.,freedom/all our rulers.

Each have individual power,in this case,at a party/gathering.

What are the odd’s? I will be on a flight to Logan at 7:30 tomorrow morning where my daughter that lives in Newmarket NH will pick me up. I am spending a long weekend where we are going to see the Geriatric Rock-n-Roll tour that the Rolling Stones are performing Sunday up that way. I understand a full medical team is present at each of the concerts.

Ah,Gillette Stadium.I am surprised a band with such misogynist/toxic masculinity type music even allowed to play there!

Gillette is know known for transgenderism/soy type personalities that this seems odd to say the least!

Oh,have fun,saw the stones there 20 years ago,final time for them and me but seems they have a good setlist (albeit greatest hits)going out there.I just can’t do it anymore,but,will till there overdue death follow what passes for Tull these days till it is over!

I lost my old large dog the day after Fourth of July. He died at home with me taking care of him to the end. He hated strangers and was a wonderful dog.
