WE NEED THAT BOOK BEFORE WE’RE ALL TOO BRAIN DEAD FROM LEGAL POT TO READ IT!
Michele went to the dispensary and bought me a brownie to try to get back into my good graces after she jammed up the plumbing in the kitchen.
I ate 1/4 of it after dinner for desert and I could barely walk later that night when I got up to pee. Dizzy, I mean literally had to hang on to stuff.
I don't think it was the Bruce Lee strain, but it's a good thing the nunchucks are packed away.
Well as long as we're all here, might as well put in a little plug for my forthcoming book (will it beat Licky to press, who knowz). Tenatative title

Really? This horse has been beaten to death. Licky is unlikely to ever get published. Who would buy it if it is? All the tale is on this thread; what additional light can be shed?
Who really cares about why the plane crashed? The story is in the aftermath.

There is actually quite a bit about this story that has not seen the light of day.
Whether Licky shines it remains to be seen.

Well, we already know that one of two things happened: something broke or somebody effed up.
Yer welcome.

Guess the nuances don't interest me. Maybe 30 or so people who were there are still alive to want to read it. Of those 30 or so, they already know the nuances minus some details. Could be wrong depending on the author's writing skills to make it interesting.
This thread has been fun.

As Bruce "Utah" Phillips was known to utter:
"it's good though"
Certainly deserving of more attention than it got, Bruce's funeral
2008
Our family gathered at Pioneer Park in Nevada City were a team of strong, Chestnut hued white footed Pusher horses hitched to a simple black Cassion wagon patiently waited for the arrival of it's cargo.
Dad's wish was to be buried in a simple hand made pine box and thanks to master craftsman Stephen Goodfield he was. The coffin was perfect, unfinished, slightly tapered, six rope handles and sealed by 42 square head nails.
The team of horses flanked by the pallbearers exited the park and paced themselves up the hill for the twenty minute walk to Pine View cemetery . We laid dad to rest in the far North, East corner of the cemetery under a native Black Oak.

Thoking, you grow up, buttwipe.
I ain't got no intention to, nor a reason. Why would I? So's I could be a witty critic like yourself, or a successful author like Licky? I'm already both and you and licky are too phucking stupid to know. Here's what I know: licky ain't gonna write no book.

Funny thing
I was just thinking about Whittey Payton the other day
He rear ended me with his eighteen wheeler (in Beverly Hilss no less)
His website is under construction indefinitely
https://www.freightconnect.com/carrier/58edbc035ac7b91ea7f68497
https://www.freightconnect.com/
In lieu of reading
Ric's book or Whittey's website perhaps you can post a link to one of your editions sid
Alternatively, I'll put in a chapter in the forthcoming
The Tijuana Donkey Smugglers
With appropriate attribution of course

Wait a minute. Doth I offend thee so much that when you call me an "ass" you do it substituting dollar signs for the "s" ? As in "A$$" ?!?
Whoa dude, please forgive me, please! I'm deeply stung by the pointed barbs of your passionate critique. It hurts so much. Not sure I'll sleep tonight, perhaps ever again. Will you, and thoking, and most importantly, Licky please find the compassion in your hearts and souls to forgive my egregious transgressions. I value your input, opinions, criticisms and advice so much that , again, I implore you to forgive me.
NOT

Wow, this thread is still going. And Licky is still getting his nuts busted for taking so long. lol
You know, I could give a sh#t if Licky ever publishes actually, he clearly loves doing the research on this story and I have enjoyed the hell out of reading about it here. That's plenty. Having said that, it would be interesting to do a Venn diagram of all the people on here that have been giving Licky sh#t about how long it's taking, vs the group of people that regularly derail threads with political sh#t and argue about the same tired ass talking points for literally a couple of decades now. I have a pretty good idea how it would turn out. Seems to me like that's not the strongest position from which to offer criticisms on someone else's creative process but whatever, it's supertopo.
Hey, while I'm thinking of it, Sidmo, a lot of pharmacies now have this service where they'll deliver your meds already sorted for daily use. You should check it out.

Great idea. I'm so tired from crawling to Walgreens, if you could deliver my meds I'd have way more time to blast Licky for posing as a writer when we all know he's really a rogue fed on the take from the Mexican drug cartel that pulls his puppet strings. El Chapo's trial probably has him busy now, he's running a disinformation campaign, of which the book and this thread are just a small part of. He's a busy boy.

So I was cleaning out my garage yesterday, and found some snaps I took at Lower Merced Pass Lake in July 1978, a year and half after the crash:
That's one of the prop blades from the Howard, which somebody supported in a rock cairn at the north end of the lake (on the rocky point in the upper right, in the lake picture). If you can't read the inscription, it's:
IN MEMORY
To the 2 unsung heros who gave their lives for the American marijuana movement
May these souls soar high on the wing forever
Crashed in this lake approx.
12/2/76
Also I still have a spare spark plug from the plane, which looks like it might still work.
I was there with a volunteer (paying, actually - it was a Sierra Club outing) work crew, cleaning up the remaining wreckage on behalf of the NPS. We left that prop blade behind, but I'm sure it wasn't there much longer.

I doubt they gave their lives for the mj movement or had any good cause in mind at all. These were drug traffickers, not pot smoking hippies. The climber who found their address book told everybody about it and was soon murdered.
