Spencer

yesterday I got a chance to go swimming at our property on lake Spencer.

It was actually my first time out on the lake but taking the kayak out allowed me to orientate myself. It was quite abit of fun

The Spurlings came by later in the afternoon and took us for a trip on their boat. What's more they let me try my hand at wakeboarding. Wakeboarding felt much easier than water skiing (but maybe that's due to my increased boarding activities). So thankyou Spurlings for the boat ride and thank you God for the lake.

Lazy

Google reader has made me lazy.

I never actually go to anybody's blog anymore.

What's more I have an RSS feed that loads directly onto my desktop. I don't even have to load up google reader. Lazy.

Camp

Well.

I went camping. I had a good time.


Cooking huge hamburgers on a five pound skillet, with every kind of seasoning, was very enjoyable. The buns, though smashed, tasted fantastic. We were short on condiments but the A1 steak sauce went above and beyond the call of duty.

We did burn a cooler. I'm not sure how I feel about that. Either it enters the atmosphere via burning or it sits in a landfill for years and years and years...
The inflatable raft that was burnt, well, apparently AJ didn't want to carry it back down.

Now for a brief story-

So there I was... nearly asleep after talk of bears and cougers. I just managed to get find a comfortable spot on the ground.

Then about two camp sites away I hear someone YELL, suddenly and angrily "S&*T!" Of course I wake up semi-surprised. It hasn't been the first time I've heard some guy yell a curse into the sky. Then I hear a very low growl. Sounded just like a very unhappy dog...

then this dog just attacked our tent for no reason. Kyles mad, scared and was acting like a cornerd animal, AJ is tripping over himself trying to find his knife, and I'm struggling to grasp the situation.

Actually the growl was simply Kyle snoring. But I didn't get to sleep for another good hour.

And in the middle of the night an animal knocked a rock into the lake.

The End

I tried fishing. I didn't catch or even get a bite. The lake is deep and the fish like to hang out in the middle.

That's all I feel like typing

Inside Joke

I'd like to dedicate this video to Kyle and AJ's ingenious exploding pants idea.

Storyteller

For the longest time I have hated and loved to clean our grill. Grease has accumalated on it for the many many years we have had it. Every time I wash it, it tells me stories. As I remove the layers of grease I can see past meals. There are spots that mark the burning of hamburgers, the experiments I've tried, and meats that have been cooked.
