Let’s get primitive right now, down with the rocks and the dirt

Hey party people

I am headed to work in a few hours and then after a 16 hour shift plan to grab my rucksack, tent, a bottle of good beer, a couple cans of food, a map and a compass, and head out into nature for a couple days. I don’t think there’s much in the way of wireless out there, so I probably won’t be posting anything Sunday through Tuesday. Catch you all soon and take care.

One Love

Dave

If I didn’t have 5 loads of laundry, 4 hours of housework, 3 crabby kiddies, 2 meals to cook and a partridge in a pear tree, I would be doing the EXACT SAME THING that you are about to embark on.

Minus the good beer.

**sigh***

Have fun for all of us house-bound folk.

One beer’s ok…but to tell you the truth Dave, I think you might have addictive tendencies and I would be careful if I were you…

Fairuza
Thanks, will do.

Yeah, I don’t “drink” in any real sense for precisely that reason. The only time I’ve been intoxicated recently was when i told my masjid I was on the way out, which was a super emotionally intense day for me. Any given week I drink a beer with or after dinner 2 or 3 times. It’s always good quality beer which I don’t drink much of, I never sit there with a case of PBR getting smashed. I drink it out of taste appreciation and sense of presence, much the same way I drink tea, except I drink a lot more tea.

I would do the same if I had any woods or nature to get lost in…about the only thing you can get lost in that in any way resembles nature(wild things running around and strange noises etc)…is the local mall here in Bahrain…nature has been paved over in favour of shopping and banking.

I miss the Rocky Mountains..that use to be my back yard…sigh!

Dave,

I hope you take some pictures. I LOVE the Flag area and would like to see some pictures.

And if you have to drink, I hope it is at least Guinness.

This might sound like a stupid question, but is Shan ok? She doesn’t live in the area where the earthquake hit, does she?

hey guys
Busy/rainy weekend so I just went to buffalo park for a bit. Pics up later and going again for longer next week.

CR
Yeah, the gulf doesn’t sound too attractive to me; I’m not much of a shopper.

AS
I like Guinness, but this was a French ale. Incidentally, when I drink a non-alcoholic beer with dinner, which I did when I didn’t drink at all, Kaliber, the NA Guinness, was my favorite.

Not a stupid question, I was initially worried as well since there were effects in Fujian province; Shan was far enough from the epicenter to where she didn’t even feel it. Thanks for asking!

Hope you had fun, and I’m glad to hear your fiance’s okay!

Thanks

They have a NA Guinness? I DIDNT know that…….I will check that out!

Yeah, it’s not thick like a real Guinness, it’s more like a Guinness lager or something, but it’s still rich and high quality, and usually is about $7 a six pack. So if you like having a beer with dinner but don’t want alcohol, it’s the top pick right next to St.Pauli NA.
