and other eldritch tales from beyond the grave!!!!
Heh heh heh.......I taught Joy how to knit yesterday.
Do you see what you've gone and done, Dharma? Huh? Huh? I hope you bought stock at Michael's and MJDs before you started blogging about this stuff.
Joy wasn't overwhelmed with desire at first, but I nagged her a little.........and voila. Give an obsessive-compulsive woman a hobby involving soothing, repetitive hand motion.........and you end up with three feet of chenille scarf in one day. Good grief!!! She's already got down casting on, knitting, purling, and binding off; in other words, all the basics.
So that's me, Mason, Ladycleve, and who else now? Who will be the next victim to fall to the heinous lure of the Yarn Barn??? Find out on tommorow's show. Film at eleven.
Oh yeah, and on the accountability thing, down to a whopping 189.5, and I did 15 miles this week. Not great, but just starting up again.
To do a 10k on Ft. Lewis, try this route. Start by the main gate and turn left at the gas station. Turn left again on Garcia Blvd, and then right onto Hillside Ave about 300 yards down. Follow Hillside until you get down to Ligget or Pendleton or whatever that frickin' road is that runs in front of the hospital and turn right. Take a left on 3rd Division, then cut right between the buildings when you reach the brick building past the second steam plant. Take a right on 2nd Div, and then left again, following the border of the airfield. Take a right at the PX, then turn right at the road past the gas station, left on Garcia again, and stop when you get to Hillside again.
Be sure to dress warm, watch out for drivers on their cell phones, and be prepared to explain to paranoid officers/ncos why you would run on your own time in nothing but shorts and a short sleeved technical shirt, instead of the usual full APFTs, road guard belt, road guard vest, hat, gloves, poncho, kevlar, flack vest, eight battle buddies, land warrior system, M-16, Pro-mask, MOPP 4, ninja suit, (admittedly, the new ninja suits are pretty cool), man-pack Panic Room, ground guides, cell phone (set on vibrate), road guards, and a conical flashlight, which if you are lacking any of, an Oldsmobile will fall from the sky, killing you instantly. And if the Oldsmobile doesn't, the hemmoraghing from the ass-reaming you get will. Lord only knows what'll happen if you run barefoot............
It will be cold, wet, raining, windy, muddy and dark. It also completely rocks.
This is NBS,
Woot.
