5:12am… no Hatchet despite the :hc:. That’s alright 5:12 would be an early arrival for him.
5:15am and nobody screaming into the parking lot so we headed out. U-Haul’s back is hurting so the Q opted to make this all about miles today. Opening loop to see if ya boy would be just a little late. He wasn’t but Stagecoach was so he caught up with us just as we were getting back to COT.
Headed for an exploration of the roads and fields to see if we could find Hatchet wandering around.
We covered all the fields for several loops and after a lap around the football field we saw this lumbering shape loom out of the darkness rising up and reminded me of John Fogerty’s classic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbSGMRZsN4Q&list=RDJbSGMRZsN4Q&start_radio=1 hit.
“He got the voices speakin’ riddles
He got the eye as black as coal
He got a suitcase covered with rattlesnake hide
And he stands right in the road”
“Where ya been” he asks us.
“Looking for you” was our reply.
The remaining minutes we were regaled of tales of an alligator hunt a buddy of his went on.
YHC took us out and needed to head out for the school run. The last images in my rear view mirror were of Hatchet and Shriver lining up for a good ole fashioned shindig.
good times.
