Truck Norris - A Love Story

Like all epic love stories it started with a name. 

What's in a name? that which we call a rose

By any other name would smell as sweet

So Truck Norris would, were he not Truck Norris call'd

The moment I set eyes on him I knew he was the one for me. He was beautiful and tough, he was everything I ever wanted in a truck.

For three years we were inseparable! He took me wherever I wanted to go! He hauled everything I needed hauling.

He took me camping! 

He met my friends and family! 

We raised house plants together. 

We even lived together for three moths when I was a nomad. 

But then, like all epic love stories, fate conspired to separate us. Our epic love was shattered by another's villainous wrongful left turn.

NO! 

NO! 

NONO!

I was alone in the world again. 

...

The bittersweet ending to this love story was Truck Norris's was reincarnation into his doppelganger Randolph. Pieces of Truck Norris will live on in Randolph,who will fulfill the epic adventures in fish field work started by Truck Norris and myself.    



Then our hansom hero rode off into the sunset. The fair maiden waving goodbye, knowing that a piece of her heart went with him. A piece that would never be filled by another.

A glooming peace this morning with it brings

The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head

Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things

Bend Ale Trail - The First Four Stops

Bend Oregon has a lot of breweries and the town has created a tourist road map or "Ale Trail" for anyone interested in exploring them. Eric and I have started the 10 stop beer adventure, but we have only completed four stops. Or rather, I should say I have only completed four of the stops. Eric has completed them all before, so this is his second go-round.

1. Our first stop was the "extra credit" stop in at Three Creeks Brewing in Sisters (a town about 25 minutes away from Bend). We also had lunch here, I got some pretty good fish tacos, and I can't remember what Eric had... but I remember it seemed tasty. [Edit - I am informed that it was chowder]

2. Our second stop was at Silver Moon Brewing for a quick pint.

3. The Deschutes Brewery Pub is a place I have spent a lot of time before, but it is always a good place to visit, and it was where we got drink number three!

  

4.Our fourth stop was the next day after we completed a 10 k race! A pint and some setting in the sun felt AMAZING at Good Life Brewing.


Stay tuned when the adventure continues!
