Hello, Sorry for the total lack of posts lately. I've been busy trying to pack as much fun stuff into the summer as humanly possible. With only about two months or so of true summer weather, and most of that being taken up with work or house work, the remainder gets jammed full quick.
Last weekend my little sister was in town with her 1yo baby, and my other siblings made the trek down to RI to see her. Kaptain Krunch and the Mrs made the trip down from Vermont for the week, and my sister in connecticut came down to stay with her kids at our place. Even BBW and Garden Girl made the trip down for kayaking and the saturday night bonfire. Since it ended up raining, I mean Absolutely Pouring, for two of the four days I took out of work, I was slightly annoyed until my annoyance was drowned in 16 gallons of beer. We said Screw-It and continued our plans of boating, rope swings, surfing, and general fuck-around-a-ry in the rain.
We had great surf for two days of the week, it was great to get out there. I used to spend all summer surfing until I switched over to mostly mtbiking and kayaking. I'll be trying to mix in some more surfing now that I've knocked the rust out.Other than that, not much to write about. I was able to get out for the dawn-patrol mtbike rides this weekend. Saturday I took off on the usual PoDunk, Pardon Joslin loop. Felt great! Sunday morning I dragged Snoopy out of bed at 5:30 and made the trip down to Burlingame. Can you believe it was the FIRST ride around the lake since the winter NEMBA FunRide? Just haven't been staying at the lake that much with the change of family arrangements down there.. I've been missing the lake ride alot. This was Snoopy's first big loop. He did the entire off road loop. When I got to the inlaws at about mile 7, he stayed with them while I rode out on the road to get the car. I couldn't believe it... that is one tough little dog! Afterward, he and I went out for some father-dog fishing time on the lake. He was trying to eat my hand-dug worms from the compost pile (The compost is FULL of worms....sweet!), and when I caught something, would try to eat the perch. After a couple hours of that it was time to head back to shore to get Mrs 40.
Other than that, we need to pick a weekend for the 5th Annual RAMHADAB. I can't wait. many changes to biking portion were discussed...I'm sure we can figure out a decent compromise.see ya.
