Holy crap, we got paid for working at the Eights…like actual money that we can buy things with, just like “before”.  I keep thinking someone is going to  shove me and yell “WAKE UP”.   It’s all so unreal and I haven’t even got to part about what happened in the woods.

Hunter and I were walking around in the woods, super hungry, trying to find some wild greens and maybe a few ‘shrooms to eat and we came across this guy, Travis.  He was hunting and after we went through the usual things where you figure out if you are going to shoot each or get along, we settled into talking.  Hunter and Travis did that jibber jabber thing that ex-military guys do, that makes no sense to anyone else, but lets the other person know their military job and rank, plus  all kinds of other stuff.  Meanwhile, I was practically drooling looking at the dead critters Travis had taken down in his hunt.  So, when they took a breath in their talking, I offered up a couple of things I’d found and he gave us some of what he’d killed.   It was great, we made a friend and had an all around, super incredible amazing PAYDAY!!
