1181 days since my last drink.

Forums:

Hello Zoners, longtime no see. Checking in from Portland, Oregon tonight. 

Thank you for allowing me to be part of the community. I will not let you down this time.

As of today I have been alcohol free for 1181 days. Isn't that special? lol.

Thank Jebus for cannabis. That is what keeps me sober.

What keeps you sober?

 

Anyway... I am flying home to Alaska tomorrow and wanted to brag a bit about my success.

Gone are the days of raccoon piss and West Side bushes. Hello photography and pot farm in Mat-Su Valley.

Shout out to my stalkers.

 

*toke*

 

Glad you're doing well, man.

This is a pretty snazzy layout. Would be nice if we could personalize like ratboatd.org

An ignore feature would save a lot of bickering. Let us hope we can be adults here.

Thank Judit for keeping us together.

 

*toke*

Very good .....congrats

a fake, nice try though

welcome home zippo. mat-su is a special place.

btw I wanted to let y'all know that I haven't posted in philzone.org it nearly two years. May it Rest In Peace.

I read a lot of good goings on about me posting there recently and that was not me.

just wanted to let the cat out of the bag.

^Howdy fellas...

 

*toke*

@Jon, born and raised in the Valley. Fixing to move back and get into the cannabis industry. Want to buy property near Kenai.

If anybody be wants proof of my identity ask Judit. She would not have let me in otherwise.

Feel free to interrogate me about Zippy.

*toke*

We're not here to doubt you, baller.

Welcome  back.

i was in alaska this summer.... nice place. i had a stellar view of the mat su valley from my fairbanks flight, which was diverted to fly around to the west of mckinley... i saw the whole state by plane... it. was. amaze. balls.

 

 

I was just there 18 months ago in Kenai. Fell in love with the peninsula.

 

*toke*

Great to hear you are pursuing your desire to go back to Alaska and congrats on your sobriety.

My first post on the new Zone was in a Zippy thread! cool (new glasses today - for real)

Hey Zip. Good on ya.

 

Somewhere over 4000 for me. But I had medical reasons. Easier to quit.

Wow--I didn't think it was possible for the new Zone to feel like the old Zone, but it does. It may even feel more like the old Zone than the old Zone did the last couple of years, now that Zippy is here.

This *toke*'s for you, Zippy.

Sweet handle Gravy.

Thanks. I like your variation, too. You're no noobie anymore.

I had to give up the Noobie after all these years. 

Bret could only take so much whining in his ear about me and finally just 86'd me.

I don't blame him.

 

*toke*

poor bret.... do you guys think he will join in here??

 

maybe he will get banned, but instead we will hold him hostage inside the dark confines of viva.....

He is illiterate as all get out. I hope he brushes up on remedial English in his new found free time.

Either way the motherfucker spawned an incredible community. 

I joined in October of 2002. The page opened in 1999 or so.

Lots of sex was had because of him.

 

*toke*

*Toke* back at ya, Zip.

Alsaka, huh?

I might be in the Anchorage area in mid-March 2017... DNB has booked 3 gigs at The Sitzmark in Girdwood, March 16-18 (tix not yet on sale, though)

http://www.thesitzmark.com/events/2017-03/

 

all the best to ya, Zipster :)

Love Girdwood. In the top five of the coolest hippy towns in AK. I have always wanted to hike from Eagle River to Girdwood over the Chugiak Mountains, but dad says I'll get eaten by a Grizley Bear.

 

I will be at this show for certain. Only a two hour drive from where I grew up. Let's go sledding up on Alyeska.

Nice edit, by the way. Stop being a flake and call me.

Congrats Zippy. And welcome back! My brother's been dry for just over a year. I'm really proud of him because he went through a really rough patch.

Alcohol is a depressant. I already suffer from PTSD and bipolar depression.

Alcohol to me seems like a mental illness all on it's own.

So awesome your brother has woken up to reality. :)

 

*toke*

Congrats on your time, Zip. I'll have 24 years in a few weeks and I've seen some crazy shit in sobriety, but nothing like when I was drinking...

Even with over three years under my belt it is still difficult to not drink. I couldn't imagine twenty-four years. Incredible.

 

*toke*

> I couldn't imagine twenty-four years.

> Thank Jebus for cannabis.

Sounds like your life is much improved from The Raccoon Chronicles era, Zip.

That said, you'll be back to your old ways here sooner than later. Tiger can't change his stripes.

Cannabis is a cure all.

Zippy u ever hear from kirley fries? He made a mess out of the zone.

The only thing Kirley made a mess out of was his own pants.

Congrats man. Thank Jesus for Starbucks wifi and go fund me.

Hello Zipster.  Have you heard from Nick?  

Gofundme is shit. Funny thing is y'all thought you were shutting down

a profitable venture. That place barely has a return unless you already have

a large network. Easier to just fly a sign. Got me through some pretty tough times. 

Try a bit harder.

 

*toke*

 

Kirley is Nick. I heard from him several times on Facebook. I have this special ignore feature installed into my frontal cortex.

 

*toke*

What did your sign say, Zipper?

I blame Hambone for the demise of the zone. lulz

 

*toke*

Tell us about your troodle relationship.

So how has everyone been?

 

*toke*

That relationship ultimately destroyed Troodle's will to zone, didn't it?

IMG_2877.JPG...

Still getting used to this format.

 

*toke*

Ew. The dreaded double picture post. Gotta put Zip at a 3.1 for that, just on general principle.

You cool, baller?

IMG_3295.JPG...

Do you really think Kirls was Nick?  

Mark would you like to step outside and have a smoke?  

Don't kill this thread, Tulsa.

Thanks.

Yes. I know Nick on a personal level. He has seen me baked and naked while in the shower.

 

*toke*

I didn't think Nick was crazy, or smart enough to pull it off, but I believe you.  SAD

Tulsa envies you for that, Zip. Seriously.

You better stop trolling me Mark.  I don't mind it, but someone is watching, and you could get the boot in a heart beat.  

I once saw Nick rocking up and down while on the couch in his living muttering "feeling unstable feeling unstable feeling unstable". This was shortly after arriving at his old home off Table Mesa in Boulder. As soon as he realized I was watching him he stopped and offered me a beer. His spoiled dog tried to hump me.

 

*toke*

Did you make those memes yourself, zippy? Could be worse.

Nick is very capable of pulling off a Kona Kid type scenario.

Kirley was his very successful attempt at that.

 

*toke*

>>>You better stop trolling me Mark.  I don't mind it, but someone is watching, and you could get the boot in a heart beat.  

 

You're not being trolled, Tulsa. Trolling is intentionally posting something incendiary on the internet in order to elicit a reaction.

You're just genuinely terrible at this, and you've probably ruined more threads than anyone, ever. Me pointing that out isn't trolling; it's a factual statement.

IMG_3495.JPG

 

You two get a room.

 

*toke*

Says the guy name dropping like a teenage girl his first thread back. 

Oh, Zippy. Some things never change, eh?

...IMG_2717.JPG

Congrats on your sobriety,

 

but seriously what brain dead moron would let you onto their pot farm?

 

That's just asking for problems like that poor dude down in Mendo.

 

 

zip, or shall I call you *toke the joke*, you'll be back on the bottle in Central Park by this time next week.

Ok folks, I have a flight to catch. Maybe Popi can visit me at the airport on my layover in Seattle this afternoon.

 

*toke*

Zippy! Good to see you. Get in touch if in Vermont!

Congrats man.  I'm on about 1400 days myself.

Hey now Zippy. Good luck

I truly hope its *toke you, zippy. 

Peace, bro. 

I'm in Alaska, BITCHES! Just landed a few hours ago. We hit up the Golden Corral buffet before trekking out to the bush. So good to be back in the real country.

Hey Y'all!

 

*toke*

Phishie, won't be in back to Vermont for a couple years at least. Attempting to replant roots where I was born and raised.

Kiss a moose for me. These buggers are mean in the North country.

 

*toke*

Fuck yeah zippy.

you're getting back just in time for the bachelor auction up in Talkeetna.

Word? I ain't in the market for no bachelors. lulz

"I will not let you down this time."

Yes You will! and it's to bad,because I like reading about you're adventures,but people are going to troll You, and You won't be able to let it go...but good luck. And Stay Outta Utah... COSummitCountySheriff01-vi.jpg

Congrats Zip, that is so awesome !

Utah, Ohio and Colorado all have a Summit County. Which state are you representing, Officer Hoople?

Congratulations, Zippy.  yes

That is mighty white of you to say.

 

*toke*

Congrats.

Too bad I jst opened a botlle of 2013 cote rôtie,  probably one of the best reds Ive ever had,so glad Im not an alki, 2015 is already known as the wine of the century, but really should wait till 2017 to crack that one open..congratulations on your victory ...zipps

Enjoy your liquid depressant.

 

*toke*

Good work, Zippy.

 

I went about 10 years without drinking and that part of life was a lot simpler than trying to figure out how much alcohol was enough and how much was too much.

 

Keep it up.  And toking generally appears to be a lot easier to deal with than over consumption of the liquid depressant.

 

Best,

John
