i like trains

mornin' folks!
what a weekend. i don't even know where to begin.

so...ill-advised by dr. evil, and totally against his wishes, i ditched the crutches on thursday evening.
my thought: what difference is TWO more weeks on these gonna make in the long-run? he already said i'll need knee replacement by the time i'm 40...so...fuck it.
OH MY GOSH...this is creepy. dr. evil just now called & said to stay on the crutches for 5 weeks. holy shit i don't think so. ok, let's talk about something else, because i'm freaked out.

the trip - it rocked.
except for the weather.
the days were beautiful, the nights were scary. it stormed every night, right about the time we would go to bed. so courtney slept in the truck all weekend! i stayed dry, and didn't get struck by lightning.

saturday, floated the river. cassi & i got a boat, but that didn't last long. we got stuck on every damn rock from beginning to end and almost lost the cooler. so we made the guys get in the boat for the last hour or two of the trip. then life was good. i will never use a raft again.
saw the dedringers saturday night. ol' sean & jonny. they were fabulous. ok, maybe a little intoxicated (ok a lot) but they did great. and looked better. mmm..hmm...

sunday, after much drinking on the island, i decided that we were walking (lots of cops) to the floathouse to see cody canada play acoustic. i think i mentioned some guy named kevin black playing at our campground - well he just LOOKED like he sucked.
anyway, good thing a shuttle stopped by our campground & gave us a ride. cody was ok, except wade bowen was with him. i wasn't too thrilled about that. plus there were loads of people there. we ended up only staying for an hour and then deciding it best that we walk back to our campground. we clocked it at 1.1 miles in the car earlier that day. but that night, after a case of beer and the knee getting sore, it seemed like 6 miles. luckily we made it back before the storm blew in. caught a couple songs from the kevin black dude - it was as i expected, SUCKY. so i threw some ice on the knee & climbed in the back of the truck for some shut-eye.

that didn't last long. the band decided to move into the little snack hut to play since it was storming.
the snack hut is right by our campsite.
they kept us up with some god-awful hick music until 4 a.m.
and they took our extension cord.

packed up yesterday & came home (took back the extension cord).
only took us 4 hrs & 45 minutes to get home. i even stopped in hillsboro & exchanged some shox that my mom bought me for some cute black & pink ones.

good weekend...i'll post pics shortly.
unfortunately, none on the river, b/c i forgot to buy a disposable.

"beer is proof that God loves us & wants us to be happy"
i have no idea who said this. but i like it.

peace out
