Traveling With The Sheik

OldBones-Larry
0 6 10

I am nearing Relapse Rocks. Since we have found so many traps that Nic and his gang have been setting all along the trail, I want to check the stakes and ropes that are along the drop-off at Desolation Point. I am always worried that someone might stray from the trail there and fall over the edge.

At one of the Oasis, Nic and his group had destroyed the supplies that were cached there. The Sheik and I re-supplied that Oasis so the travelers would have the supplies they need.

Some of the Sheik's men have reported minor skirmishes with Nic-nasties out in the desert. They beat them easily, so they should not bother the caravan that is crossing behind us in any way.

I receives a message from The Old Goat this morning reminding me to post her motto at every stop along the trail.

KEEP THEM AWAY FROM YOUR FACE!!!

This is what she wishes everyone to remember as they travel.

As always, I remind everyone of what I say each and every day of my journey.


One step, and then another, will get you to where you want to be.

Larry the Caravan Master

About the Author
I am a male that underwent coronary artery bypass X3 (triple) on 10/22/13 at the age of 55. I was living on about 20-30% of one coronary artery and my left heart output was only 20% to 25%. I spent a week in the hospital after surgery and went home. Then had to go back a day later for another week because I had pneumonia. Finally a few days because of a slight arythmia. All told it has been about 2 1/2 weeks. I am past the cravings by now and only have the urges to contend with. I really don't suggest that anyone quits smoking using this technique though. I'll have to carry the scars from that day for the rest of my life. The large one down the center of my chest, and the ones from several "silent" infarctions. I came that close to the next world. Never again will I subject my body to that (at one point in my life I was smoking 5 packs of cigarillos a day). I now have to say N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) every day of my life. TheOldGoat-Joan, I miss you terribly my friend. Elder Lists Guilia's: (/blogs/Giulia-blog/2017/06/18/elders-list-ao-december-7-2016 ) or Smorgy's (Chronological Elder List)
