See ya' later, suckers!!
I had forgetten about my nice 4 day weekend this week and decided Monday that I need to get the heck outta the midwest. I figured I had three options: I had preferred to grab a flight to Denver and visit Rocky Mt. National Park for the first time since I moved; or, I could fly to Phoenix and drive to the Grand Canyon (or even Glen Canyon/Lake Powell); or, I could drive to the southeast and see what trouble I could get into!
Flights were too pricey, so I thought Hmmm, West Virginia seems wild and rugged... Should I go rafting, climbing, mt. biking...?? Then it hit me - a whitewater kayaking class!
It's not cheap, but I'm kayaking on Saturday and Sunday and filling the rest of that time with hiking and bouldering at the New River Gorge. Yeah, I'm going by myself. Everybody else is either broke, or isn't in to that sort of stuff. I'm sure it will be easy to meet some fun people down there!
In other news; got my motorcycle license; the house I was gonna buy SOLD the day before I was going to put in an offer; I will have a motorcycle here waiting for me when I get home; and I got to take down my first tree using the boom truck all by myself this week! Maybe that doesn't sound exciting, but to be up in a tree cutting off branches and dropping them without landing them on the truck - yeah, I'm a dork. Oh, I'm also now officially a certfied Arborist (aka a tree professional).
Found out that our Scotty dog Wilson blew out his knee! He has been limping and I've felt so bad for him, but it was worse than we thought. $1500 surgery! And there's a very high risk that if he keeps walking on his good leg, that one will go out too... So they told us to crate him 24 hrs a day! Isn't that horrible! For the next 3 months essentially. I feel so horrible for the poor guy. Our other alternative is to dope him up on Benadryl and hope he just lies around sleeping... :(
Anyway, time to pack and get the heck outta here! Enjoy the holiday weekend!
