Recharge

The bush is listless and perfectly silent. It is deafening, but for the ring in my ears. I inhale the crisp moist coniferous autumnal air deeply into my lungs. I love the boreal forest. It has a magical healing quality. The Northern hemisphere is part of my dna. I am decompressing at a fast rate.

Last weekend Goldenbollocks and I caught Muse in Oslo. They blew me away, again. They arrived in typical grand style, as if they had just landed from another planet. They are from another musical planet. The dedicated army of tweenies in the mosh pit was peaking. They rock.

When Hunterboy picked me up on Friday afternoon, there was no one in the world I was happier to see. I am on the phone for the whole 5 hour trip to Sweden, ranting. I apologise. I take one final call, I am silent and say nothing on the call. I hang up. He turns to me and asks me how my wife is doing, smiling.

There are not many birds this year. A cold spring and a low stock of alternative species for predators has hit the bird population hard. The morning sesh is done and we make camp and the fire. We eat, drink and fire up a couple of Habanos. We are lying on our backs with the dog snuggled between us looking up at sky blue. The sun is blazing. We laugh like school boys falling dizzily into the arms of a boreal nap.

I met Renny and the Bitches last week for a beer in Oslo to discuss the blogfest next August. Renny and I are impressed the Bitches rock up, a couple are from a different city. Cool. Renny is a beautiful human being. The bitches are absolutely lovely, and quite tasty. The animated discussion is infectious. Everyone will contribute to making the blogfest a great success. I make a note to name my new band Renny and the Bitches.

Hunter's dinner consists of pork filet in juice, fresh veg and 2 bottles of excellent claret followed by whisky for desert. The dead soldier count of the day’s pils consumption is high. The half bottle of aquavit was medicinal. I am horizontal at 7:00. I am fucking exhausted. I am sawing major timber by 7:01. I am woken 12 hours later by the sound of the dog slurping his balls. By gods that’s a great design feature.

I have taken so many flights in the past two weeks I am thinking my next property purchase will be an airport. The purchase of a tour plane, of course, must follow.

We saw 12 birds and got 4 shots away between us. There is nothing in the bag. It is the worst season on record. We are ready to depart the boreal forest. We have a long drive ahead of us. I promise not to use my phone. Anyway, my phone battery is dead. Thankfully my mojo battery has started to recharge, but I think it will take a couple of months to get it fully charged again.

Corinne said...

I wonder what would happen to humanity if men developed the ability to lick their own balls? We'd probably get a lot more done because you guys wouldn't be venting your non-ball-licking frustrations through war, famine, blah blah blah....

Anyway, this bitch is glad to be on board!

Yo, Beave! Clean-up in aisle 3.

You are the epitome of "work hard, play hard." That is very manly. The weekend was not a total failure as at least you did not shoot the dog or each other.

BTW, your description of the phone call between you and Mrs. BB is way lovely and sweet. That is also very manly.

Hi, Oslo blog gathering assistant :-) Yes, we're going to meet next year in August! Yay!

I've been blogging with Renny & Tor for about 3 years now, having a lot of fun together with lots of cyber parties - even meetings in real life. The last one in France this August. Always a blast!

Looking forward to meet you too :-)

Great blog you have here, love your writing style and humor.

You just reminded me of my former dog, he was an expert in ball licking (!). I used to tease him, when he had licked and licked so they were SHINY, I did put my finger on them to make them dirty. Then he sighed very deep and started it all over again! Poor dog. *giggles*

I find a tremendous amount of spiritual renewal when I immerse myself in our Alberta Rockies. I haven't been able to do that in some time. Perhaps that is what is vexing me.
