Farewell-weekend Blues
________________________________________
The Good:
I went home this weekend to get some serious camping done. Mission accomplished. I ended up spending all weekend with my partner-in-crime, Phil. Our adventures included some kayaking (which I've never tried before and was fucking great) up rapids lol. We weren't able to get up, and in fact they kicked our asses. Phil ended up flipping his kayak and filling her up to the tits with water. Funny shit haha. And no, we "misplaced" our life jackets.. We shot off some old rescue flares too. They're a 12 gauge and have some serious kick to them! We each ending up with a few numb fingers after that, but it was more than worth it. Food, food and more food was another highlight of this weekend. You name it, we had it and ate it. Including our traditional saturday night/sunday morning "grill-em's" extravaganza (5 years and counting now haha). I even managed to squeeze in some time to act out my parts for the new "House of Brouse" episode that my friends, Kyle and Tyler Brouse put out every couple of months. If I find the link to the videos, ill post them here. Fishing, four-wheeling and fireworks were just a few of the other essential components to our good times. Oh! Best part of the weekend by far was seeing Phil run away from a firework and getting hit in the back.. Happy b-day Canada lol!
The Bad:
Sunburns and mosquitos, but who gives a shit about the bad.
The Ugly:
Woke up Saturday morning and decided to get rid of my long-ish hair. My new shaved look has been both complimented and compared to a redneck "ready to lynch people".. Thankfully the compliments have outnumbered the latter. But most imporantly, I'm really enjoying the new look.
+ Adventuring Update: I found a sweet military surplus bag, rubberized nylon and metal frame. Also located a compact sleeping bag that I'll be able to use for basically the price of a dry-cleaning bill. Things are coming along great. Next up on my list is a small one-man tent.
Hope everyone had just as good a weekend as mine was. Later. Canada Day >> Christmas
