Shits & Giggles # 33 1/3

Reflecting on five instead of three

It’s been a hot minute since I only answered one prompt in a post. Today is one of those days.

Undoubtedly the first one would be waking and offering prayers up. It always seems to be a good thing, okay most of the time. Sometimes I just want to curl back up under the covers and dream of coffee brewing.

Second on the list of gratitude would be of course coffee. My infusion of daily dark roasted delight begins the moment I walk into the kitchen and ends late at night, no wonder my sleeping habits suck.

My favorite number three. Let me stop and have a nicotine neutralizer before answering this one. Ahhh, nicotine and caffeine, what a delightful ritual for a retired truck driver, brings back memories of little dive truck stops across this great land. Back to the answer or it that the answer? no… it isn’t. Let’s put WordPress in this slot. I enjoy reading all your post even though many times I just like them instead of replying. It’s like we are all in a conference room or campfire sitting around telling our stories and enjoying each others company.

FORE! 😁no not golf. number four. [koffee is kicking in] and why isn’t it spelled like this? Everyday things?… The feeling I get when I take a hit. That’s correct, I love the sensation of the first buzz of the day. It isn’t always a wake and bake either, sometimes I don’t enjoy this ritual until late at night when I sit in front of the boob tube but it is a happiness I enjoy everyday.

And number 5 ? Can you guess? I thought so. Music. I mean what could possibly make me happier than pulling out a piece of vinyl and spinning it, letting the groove fill my soul with happiness and energy. This one could be a double edge sword though. I have musical talent coursing in my veins from my moms side of the family. I grew up watching my cuz learn to play and go on forming bands in his life, his sister learning to tickle the ivory, their mom and dad happy and alive while playing. Uncles and cousins making music made me feel alive. Now here I am in the latter stages of life trying to learn about midis and vst’s to imitate the sounds in my head. Until that day arrives [if it ever does] I will continue to spin vinyl and to share YouTube videos of what sounds good to me.

A new by-law comes into effect as of tomorrow, banning #campfires and the use of disposable barbecues within the #Cairngorms National Park in #Scotland between April 1st and September 30th each year. Violations are subject to fines of up to £500.

This by-law comes in the wake of the UK’s largest #wildfire on record, which ripped through parts of the north east last year.

One of the best things about #Autumn on #VancouverIsland is the return of #campfires.
It's now damp & safe enough for us to enjoy some comforting outdoor fires again.

What’s the most useful skill you’ve learned outdoors?

@adriabailton
There are different types of cookouts: barbecues, campfires, lūʻaus, or shindigs. Have you ever attended or hosted a specific type? Are there any you like to attend, read or write about?

I've been to (and hosted) BBQ-type cookouts. My campfire days date back to when I was a summer camp attendee at Camp Algonquin in upstate NY, seen in the horror film (really!) Sleepaway Camp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzotOPXSaCg

Think I will build a campfire tonight. Wish you were here.

Monday is January's #FullMoon — the #WolfMoon.

It's now exactly 2 #lunar cycles to the #TotalLunarEclipse on 2025 Mar 14, the Night of the #KrononautMoon, and our invitation to #TimeTravelers to come visit or send us a #quantum #signal. (To be followed by 2 more Total Lunar Eclipses in the next year!)

Here's our extended version #Checklist for the Night of the Krononaut Moon, a celebration of Time Travel. (Original post located here: https://me.dm/@KronoMoon/113610202533882675).

☑️ Coming our way next on 2025 Mar 14 #UTC 07:00, 2 months from now.

☑️ #Observe the #Moon & #stars that night, wherever & however you like, with friends & colleagues or on your own. Local #times flexible.

☑️ #Connect with the #cosmos & with your #past & #future #selves. Send a #signal to #beings in the #future(s). #Candles & safe #campfires are good; #music & #dancing are good; #radio #wave #antennas are good. Be experimental!

☑️ Click & share many #photos of the #Moon, with you (and your #family / #pets) under it — what we call a #Moonsie — and any nearby #UFOs. Share your #images with @KronoMoon & @KronoMoonPhotos.

☑️ #Enjoy a deepened #moment of #peace, #love, #authenticity & #meaning, with other #Mastodonians around the #world & #beyond — wherever you are.
