WARNING: slight babble before I get onto some pics...
Hey everyone...been a long time since I posted here, probably too long. Adjusting to married life, finishing my Master's degree, expanding knife interests and the empty wallet to follow, along life in general seem to have pulled me away from BF and the Trough.
But my love and appreciation for INFI is as strong as ever!
Some of you may remember that back in 2012 I moved to subtropical Mexico to pursue an opportunity in further education for myself, as well as solidify my healing after taking ibogaine to break an 11 year opiate habit. I ended up living there until August 2014 when I came back to finish school. Ibogaine isn't legal in the US (thank you BigPharma :angry: ), so I had to come South of the Border...Glad to say I'm still doing well, not to say for lack of challenges and even a fall or two along the way, but I'm feeling pretty solid and grateful for that -- so it goes I suppose.
Anyway, after finishing up with school earlier this year, it became pretty obvious that I had to come back to Mexico to open up an acupuncture clinic and resume ibogaine work with my teacher (I'm grateful he wants to work with me!). I currently am visiting in-laws and family in Mexico City, while also taking care of a business my wife and I started back in 2015, but within a couple weeks time, I'll be back in the sub-tropical beach town I was living in where the jungle, mountains, and beach all intersect. My Busse-kin served me well the first time around down here, so I knew I HAD to bring at least 1 or 2 pieces of INFI down with me.
Between the salt water of the ocean, as well as what's in the air, the high humidity, and generally terrible conditions INFI makes for a perfect sub-tropical user steel.
So, here's my WTH in Mexico City (for now at least):
Even this little Chihuahua seems to be intrigued by the power of INFI:
Thankful to say that it's riding in a sheath that our dear Mr. David Brown was kind enough to rush out to me at the last minute before leaving the US! I was just scrambling around too much for my own good and forgot to reach out to him sooner:
I hope to have lots of great pictures to share as this WTH gets some use in the jungles of Mexico. One thing I really loved about living there was how much more use my fixed blades seemed to get just over the natural course of life.
I'll be back in the US to tie up some loose ends and house sit for my family at the end of July and hope to be flying back with a BB13 (unless I can get Josh to do a regrind for me, in which case it'll be a bit longer before I have that down here with me, but surely will be worth the wait)
Anyway dear Trough, I'm glad to see this place alive and kickin, as usual. I hope you're all doing well.
Will make it a point to pop in and post some of the more interesting pics I snap along the way down here.
Just out of curiosity, are there any other Busse fans down here in Mexico? Perhaps even here in the city? Would love to hear from you!
Saludos amigos!
