The Noodle Compound V. 2.0

*pokes with stick*

this thing still alive?

got nostalgic and thought of this place, after a couple of hours I even remembered the pw to my account...

so... sup, whomever may still knock around this old rag?
 
Gorny! You okay, man? Looking a little green...


Yeah... yeah, must have been Noodle, didn't see no drinks when I got here... >.>
 
*yawn* That's a good point. Having trouble adjusting to the time change. Drove from California to Tennessee earlier this week, setting up a new compound in Murfreesboro.
 
That, sir, is one impressive haul. I'm sure the 4hour time-shift is the biggest adjustment in that specific relocation...

I want to make a quip about how long before we can start sourcing high-quality carpets from an east coast establishment, but IIRC you were more end-user than producer of such goods...
 
The best part of the drive was blasting through Wyoming in the middle of the night, trying to push through to Laramie. My wife was softly snoozing in the passenger seat, so it was just me alone with the moon, the huge swath of stars, and the coyote running alongside the car on its hind legs, calling out my name in my dead mother's voice. Wyoming is an interesting place.
 
I once drove through Tenessee as a kid, and also Kentucky on the way.

We were up in the mountains on the road when my cousin's baseball hat flew out the window. He insisted on going out to get it, so we pulled over. It was the middle of the night and pitch dark. He gets out of the car and almost falls down the steep mountainside into the trees below.

We never saw him move so fast getting back into the car.

He never got his hat back.

I imagine the wind took it far away, possibly to a ghostly coyote in Wyoming.

Say @Noodle did you happen to drive past Cheyenne Mountain?
 
I'll keep an eye out for his baseball cap - bet he'd be surprised to get it back at this point.

I'm not sure exactly where I drove - I'd stopped for gas, and some old native American guy gave me some weird dried up cactus to snack on. I went back to thank him, but the gas station was dark and looked like it had been closed for years. Those Wyoming had station closers must work fast!
