Greetings and Salutations!
So I pulled the trigger and bought the tickets to Cali. It helped that MomUnit sent me a birthday check a wee bit early this year, but I’ll take it!

Forbidden Planet man!

And doing a bounce to the West Coast!?!
THAT<\/strong> is what life is supposed<\/strong> to be like in your 50s.

‘Hatting up’ and going on an Adventure!

I mean that is one of my favorite things to do<\/strong>!

Just mounting up and head for ‘parts known or vaguely unknown’… I used to do it ALL the time on my way back from Iraq and Afghanistan… Leave a few days early, and head -somewhere- to decompress… maybe meet up with the Other Countries (Lil and Middle) and do something out of the norm… Germany for the most part, but one time Milan Italy where I actually went and had a Versace Leather jacket custom made to my frame… I still have it too…

And yeah<\/strong> it cost a brick of Cee-Notes
But when you’re making $200k a year, a lil -splurge- now and again like that? Abso-lute-ly!!!

Sometimes you just gotta say “What the fuck…”

Like one time we hit Frankfurt am Main and went to the Red Light District… THAT in itself was a hilarious side-quest let me tell you. Middle and I didn’t partake but Lil? Let’s just say he went with his ‘base urges’ and rented not one, but two<\/strong> Nigerian whores for some short time… While he was doing that, Middle Country and I spent our time at one of the small bars they had set up on each floor, shooting the shit with two hawt Krainian Whores… one being a stunning <\/strong>blonde…

We didn’t partake ourselves in any ‘pleasures of the flesh’ so to speak, as we knew<\/strong> that Lil had a propensity for doing ‘stupid shit’ when he was plastered… And sure enough, the evening ended with us doing an exfil ASAP when things went pear shaped… no injuries were acquired (by us) but one of the Nigerians had a big ole bite mark on her left ass cheek that would have matched up remarkably well to Lil’s jawbone, had the Authorities actually caught us…

A well timed can of HC White was a HUGE assist in this instance… Flying in on MilAir had it’s bonuses in that we didn’t get tooo closely<\/em> checked on our web gear when we left out of Iraq, and since I knew just how hard we tended to party back then, I had it with me in my leather jacket when we left the Hotel room…

Good Times, Good Times…

So yep.
Got me the plane tickets, and now I’m looking to figure out where to doss for the two nights I’ll be there. One of you kind readers DM’d me (I’ll be emailing you later sir!) about a Marriot or some such… I might go that route but I am working on some Logistics about having a Bro meet me up from Oregon (Portland specifically) IF I can get ahold of him.

Lots of moving pieces-parts but that’s part of the fun!

Tonight I’m all caught up on some work, and in the AM weather permitting, I’m going to finish what I started a few weeks ago on the Boat… some touch up painting, and then minor fixes and ‘polishing’ so to speak…

As far as my activities tonight?
Huh
Fallout 3, New Vegas OR London?
It’s definitely a Fallout sort of evening…

I downloaded and tried<\/strong> Cyberpunk 2077 but just cannot seem to get into it… maybe it’s the 30 minute long cutscenes and the 10 minutes of actual<\/strong> gameplay you know?

With Fallout?

I KNOW I can kill me some Baddies… especially some Fiends with the .50cal Anti-Material Rifle… if you have the “Bloody Mess” perk, they (the Fiend in question) detonate like someone lit a 105mm HE Cannon shell off up their ass… <\/p>\n\n\n

Blood, guts and pieces parts scattered to the 4 compass points.

A Whole Load of Fun for the whole “Hard R” Family!

So More Later
