Beverage of choice is on my tab today.

Started out a normal day, but much to my surprise during my first cup of coffee , found out I had been slimed overnight by Curly. Since then, been looking for a place to hide during the daylight hours and have had a real itch to eat some green leafy plants. This going to take some getting used to.

It all started out as innocent sounding phone call to do a short ride along parts of the Lewis & Clark Trail, ended up at one the first settlements in the Oregon Territory, the fur trading post at Fort Vancouver

Been contemplating the slime this AM and did a little research.

a musket ball (2) : BULLET b : a piece of metal roughly shaped for subsequent processing c : a $50 gold piece d : a disk for insertion in a slot machine; especially : one used illegally instead of a coin
3 : any of numerous chiefly terrestrial pulmonate gastropods (order Stylommatophora) that are found in most parts of the world where there is a reasonable supply of moisture and are closely related to the land snails but are long and wormlike and have only a rudimentary shell often buried in the mantle or entirely absent

Sure seems like there is a lot to being a Slug, though, I think GASTROPOD seems to suit me best.

Do not know if I will ever forgive Curly for this, beware if you are in the Oregon area, you might be next.

Think I will spring for a second round, then going to hit the road. The sun is shinning in the PNW today, the frost is melting fast. Mt. St. Helens Volcano is looking picture perfect. Time to go for a ride and see how the slime feels in the wind.
