Almost Finished

OldBones-Larry
5 2 57

We finished digging out the watering hole this morning.

The dead animals were drug out into the sands and reburied.

The water is clear and cold. That is a really refreshing drink after the water that was stored in out waterskins.

We found almost enough of the stones to rebuild all of the storage cairns.

I had some of the Bedoin harvest some of the Dates and spread them to dry in the sun.

The dried grasses have been packed into storage and is ready for the next traveler that needs it.

I received word that someone had heard of a new oasis and was headed there to check on it.

If it is close to the trail, we will fit it out as a new rest stop for travelers.

I would be thrilled to have another rest stop along the trail.

I must finish the work here so I can get back on the trail soon. I am hoping to be traveling again by mid-morning tomorrow.

Travel safely my friends.

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.
