Much Work Ahead Part 1

OldBones-Larry

There was a large sandstorm here last night. I came out of the tent this morning to find the waterhole here at the oasis full of sand.

I sent word to the Sheik for assistance and have begun clearing the sand from the area around the water. 

I will begin clearing that when I am done with what I must do first.

Cairns are buried and must be located again and cleared of sand.

I hope to have at least a small pool of water soon for travelers.

I'm afraid work will be going on for several months though.

I heard of many new travelers beginning their trek across NML. To them I say follow the track of those that have been before you. Watch for traps set by Nic and his gang. They can be anywhere along the trail.

To the others already well along in their journey, Stay vigilant and continue traveling safely.

I must get back to clearing the oasis now.

Remember......

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

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.
