Misc data and adventures of a Tayopa treasure hunter

[PROSPECTORMIKEL]

DON JOSE, I CAN NO LONGER NAG AT YOU TO MAKE YOUR BOOK.
I HAVE TRIED TO PUT WORDS TO PAPER SUCCESSFULLY, ONLY TO RE-READ THEM AND THINK TO MYSELF "THIS IS NOT INTERESTING."

WORDS CANNOT BE FORCED. NOT EVEN TO TELL THE TRUTH.

I WOULD SUGGEST TO DO AS "CROW" SUGGESTED. MAKE A FILE AND START COPY AND PASTING.
AT THE VERY LEAST, YOUR WORDS WILL BE PRESERVED.

AS FOR ME, I WILL SLOW DOWN AND TELL THE STORY AND NOT THE REPORT OF THE FACTS.

TO THINE OWN SELF, BE TRUE.

MIKEL

Confession is good for the soul as they say - however without acts to prove repentance.....? Just kidding amigo, I realize we are trying to push you into something you don't want to do, maybe someone will collect up the info you have posted and arrange it into a book, then reap the profits. Hmmmm......

 

[releventchair]

You can do it Don Jose.
A chapter per each decade of adventure... start now and keep it under ten!

Ya have my wife bugging me now She says "a page a day, keeps the cook happy, and you eat" hint

 

[doc-d]

You have a good and kind wife señor Don Jose……not sure what she will say to las bandidas y hermosas senoritas JudyH y Mastiff when they arrive to take charge of you……...

 

[Real de Tayopa Tropical Tramp]

Doc, havng Masticc,Judy or Unicorn at my side would be almost as delightful a death as an ant bogged down in strawberry jam,

 

[Crow]

Ah it appears amigo not only raggedy old Crow has kissed the Blarney Stone my friends

Crow

 

[coazon de oro]

It could be Mr. Crow, there no telling what Don Jose has kissed over the years. As you can see he needs no help to scribble, and is not worried about being tortured by the girls. Maybe we should just send Ed to heckle him about Tayopa being in Durango hehehe. I believe it was Ed's input that made my Compadre decide to go for broke and open the mine hehehe.

Hello Homar

All treasure hunters can see their journey as a Metaphor....

As all Mt Everest mountain climbers know... There is very dangerous knife edge ridge to traverse to climb the summit of mount Everest. Sir Edmund Hilary cut steps up the knife edge ridge. Hence the name Hillary steps. For many it is very daunting as you have trust yourself and your judgement 100% because if you falter it is certain death and failure. The final test of a long quest.

For treasure researchers that spent years searching for fortune and glory will know there comes a time when we falter at those proverbial steps where you need to make a leap of faith.... to obtain that final push to success and glory.

But it heartening to know fellow travelers down that road can some times inspire the weary onwards to glory.



Crow

[Crow]

Don Jose I can see why ya was a magnet for the laddies...How did Lupita manage keep ya out of trouble....all these years.

Crow

 

[Real de Tayopa Tropical Tramp]

on second thought I suppose that I should delete it. I'll have you know that mi tigre was the first and only one, me shy Homar .. Honest Injun.

Crow easy Le Tigre has a remarkable ability to reach out with half full cups of coffee, and she knows thet I don't waste coffee/

 

[Real de Tayopa Tropical Tramp]

Homar jeeze, I forgot to include my lovely mule

 

[coazon de oro]

Don Jose, Compis,

With a mustache, and longer sideburns, you could almost pass for your Compadre.

You can put your mule in the centerfold of your book, with her saddle blanket of course.

GRACIAS Mikel

Judy H. I have perfected the art of sock coffee. Put on YOUR nicest, laciest ones and kick your feet up. Get comfie in front of a beautiful fireplace, and have Homar, Doc D, Crow, or Don Jose' serve it to you (minus the side of fungus) in a beautiful cup. Be sure they deliver to you promptly, along with their latest and greatest detailed map of the Tayopa... upon a glittering sterling silver tray. Okay. The silver tray is optional, but the map is a MUST. Then, call me. I will be READY to ROLL!!!
