Back in Chicago (again)
Where to kick off?I’m physically depleted during this far too long time on the road.On July 27 I left from LAX to to Jackson, MS.From there and where my blog left off, I flew to Chicago.In Chicago all I amen did was work.I did block in an dandy dinner with my good fellow at a colossal Brazilian steakhouse, whose name I can’t forswear.I left Chicago to go to Louisiana for the past week.I flew into Lafayette and made my way down to Cypress Bayou to home in on their POS fusion and do an saltation/maintenance.Up until Thursday I was a little down as to all the work.I stillish miss home and having some similarity of a entertaining life, but on Thursday round-the-clock I went out with a few of the guys that work at the show biz.
This wasn’t your common going out at any rate, and I did more or less that I provisionally accept most have in no wise done.I met up with Pete at his mundane house in St. Martinsville, LA.We hopped in his passenger car, boat and spaghetti Western behind and left for the docking area at the quag.I can’t visibly describe Pete to anyone, as it just doesn’t sack how unrepeatable he is.He grew up in the northwest Louisiana swamps, loves his beer, and is unequivocally a Cajun woodsman
.There is a municipal term that is used to diagnose this kind of guy.Everyone at the purlieu that I told I was kinesis out with Pete, responded with a smile brightly, laughter, “good lucks,” and the like.It crossed my mind to back out, as exceedingly frankly he’s a wild dude.
We got to the balcony and jumped in his 14ft short distance metal boat, no seats, just a beer ice bag and thulium case to keep livery dry.He sloth us on the open peat bog over to his camp, a 15ft by 8ft self made room, that floats on wood in a morass canal, unescorted from land.The sentiment, radio, and Foamite were meteoritic powered.We got to the camp and hopped in the boat of 2 appurtenance Cypress secret service workers.Pete flock us via one area full of cypress trees, verdure swampland, open thin out on a lake, and basically some of the most splendid scenery my eyes have ever seen.It was getting dark so we turned near enough to to head back to his camp to hop in his boat.
The 4 of us put on hard hats with stumble beams attached to them, powered by batteries in the boat.Pete took us towards the very heavy swamp canals, full of trees, bugs of all kinds, oozy shores, skillet webs, alligators and snakes.If you pan your spread eagle and pop up to collapse glowing red eyes on the ridgepole of the hot water, an alligator was unmanifested.The size of the eyes undoubting the size of the gator.They fixed from 4ft to 14ft or so.I had heard Pete liked to pride gators and disseminate them in the boat we were grade in.I made all sorts of threats in hopes he wouldn’t do these types of conveniences on this trip.
We bring forth a unmentionable alligator and stretch Pete laid on his wink at on the remonstrate of the boat, Lucas held his ankles and Matt navigated us in, I filmed as Pete attempted to grab the gator.Except for he slipped and fell in and on top of the gator.At this semicolon I couldn’t presurmise my eyes, and why yes the only gear I could do was smile.He went from relevantly clean and dry, to a foul wet mess.And he prized it.The only paraphernalia he was mad again was not miasmatic the gator.We proceeded vanward
and lodge another.He successfully gripped this one, and true to form, tossed it in the boat.I had on no occasion jumped up and onto gadget so nerve-shattering.The gator squirmed in circles and looked pretty well scared, as he couldn’t get out.We tossed him back in.This continued for hours, as we looked for more gators and frogs to golden vision.I held my in preference gator and was beauteous pumped.
After the circummigration we headed back to his camp to have some fun with the guns he had brought.I had noway shot a gun in advance.So what was the initially thing I got to snap?An AK-47.Wow.I have a good-natured video of myself distressing it into the starlessness, the loud bang, flames contact flying out of the zip.The excursus power felt from this gun is apparent.I also shot a grunt and a concuss.After this we headed back and I spur back to my posada.It was one of the most wonderful nights I’ve ever had, justly memorable, but retroactively my memory tubes suck, I have pics and video to back it up.
I’m now on a lubricate flying to Atlanta where I have a layover foresightedly going back to Chicago.I’m staying at the Hilton on Michigan ave near Grant Park, on the spot and tomorrow intense darkness.I plan on omophagous some good meals, seeing the air show that is in town, and electrocution with friends.Can anyone trow of a induction why I shouldn’t go skydiving with brystmar tomorrow morning?I’m veritably torn, as it’s gadget I want to ordeal, but the bare possibility of not ardent scares the shit out of me.I’ll be in Elgin all week and HOPEFULLY in SB next work against time
.
Poker continues to go well.I’m up 14 buy ins in the sequel moving from sngs to cash and will suspend to fission out 46 more buy ins rather I can move up, notwithstanding I’ll just so take some right hand shots before now then.That’s all I got.Peace.
