Only a few will get the Shiny reference but that is the point. Made it to my buddy C’s place around 11:30 pm on Friday with an eighth of a tank of gas and $2 in my pocket. Not too bad for me. Since it was night left the critters in the van.
Then C and I proceeded to scratch off one of my bucket list items. That I never thought I would fulfill because of different reasons. But I did it. What was that item? Getting drunk and stoned with a really good friend. Yes I said stoned. Something I wasn’t sure I could do to different reason but really wanted to give it a try just to experience it the right way.
Note: Do not drink and smoke on an empty stomach and a lack of sleep.
So I learned the fine art of smoking a joint and it is an art form to get it right, of which I have not lol, along with drink Jack straight from the bottle. Haven’t done that in years. Next day I remembered why.
I spent most of the next day puking my guts out and sleeping of which I guess I needed to do. At one point I fell asleep in the van and was woken up to panting animals. So with a pounding head I got the ferrets inside and later the cats who needed a cool down bath because I passed out on the floor for too long. Thankfully my cats aren’t too weird about bathes.
C and I are going to work on making screens for the van like he had for his rig. Oh have I ever mentioned that C is into survival? Some of the stuff he has stocked piled would make many laugh but I can see the uses for every thing he has. C is also making sure I have the right items for camping which is great. I think he is trying to find a way to show his appreciation of what I brought to him. We both believe the Universe provides what we need at the moment we need it.
Of one of the items on loan is a plug in the lighter coffee pot. I am going to love having that until I can get my own.I now have a small self contained fishing set up, unrefined beeswax, a camp stove, and some other C made items.
So for the moment in this adventure it is SHINY! But I hope not to repeat the internal cleansing.
