long since last entry, i forget what i was gonna say in this one, so don't be surprised if i leave something out...
Lauren's grad party was great. moonbounce was alotta fun, even though i managed to fall off the side twice, which caused the whole thing to collapse temporarily.
i got a new digital camera, and have been taking pictures of everything. i now have a webshots account too, so some stuff should be posted up on that.
went biking up at attitash for a 2day trip a couple weeks ago. that was amazing. gotta get back soon. especially now taht i have a season pass, any excuse i get to go, basicly as long as i can get someone to split gas money, i'll go.1 day, 2 day, whatever, if anyone wants to go, just give me a call and i'll go if i can get off work. bhile up there, i did alot of downhill biking through some technical trails. i also went on the alpine slide, which is this mile long plastic slide that you get this sled and go zipping thorugh the corners on. this sled has a brake and everything. it's like a small plastic tobogan. the usual top speed on these things is about 13mph or so. on my second time down the track, i had mastered how to go fast on the thing. with a modified position and no use of the brake whatsoever, i think i got the thing up to about 27mph at least. there's mostly embanked turns, but there;s this one part with 3 unbanked turns, and i went into em at about top speed. the first turn, i realize i'm going to fast to actually stay inside this cement/fiberglass track the sleds run on, so i try slowing down, but the rear end washes out, i dismount teh sled, the sled flies off the track, i continue sliding down the track on my frontside but i pushed off with my arm to get on my back and butt (i've developed an instinct to get upright when crashing at highspeeds from biking...). in the process of sliding and turning myself, i manage to slice off several layers of topskin on my inner arm and 2 spots on me legs, so now i'll get some new interesting scars. the ones on my legs shouldn't be noticeable that much cause they'll blend in with the others. besides that, camping out up there was fun, cept the rain. went up there with geoff who's still in the boyscouts and i thought might be able to get th fire going promptly, but we ended up stealing fire from another fire already going. the campground was great, we were right on the river, as in i could throw a rock into the river from my tent. they ahd a pool, gameroom, tennis courts, showers, a playground, a small store, and about 200 campsites. it was fun. looking forward to the next trip, maybe go up with more of the people from the bike team...lol, the bikergang of the campsite...oh and it rained both days, first shutting teh lift downa nd hour early and the enxt clsoing it 4 hours early
on a similiar note, i'll be getting my new bike soon hopefully. finally selling my old xc bike and getting a new one.
being with Lauren is absolutely amazing! she's truly amazing! hanging out at the beach was great! castle island was fun while the rain held off... hopefully next time it'll be good weather. oh, and she's nasty at pool too.
4th of july cookout was amazing! but i forgot to bring back my pillow...
i got alot of home projects i'm working on too. i got some bookshelves i'm finishing up, replaceing the stairs on the porch, some roof siding, installing wood floors, window siding, rescreening some porch, etc.
work: still just one job, looking for a second that i can get flexible hours with, as i still want to do some traveling during summer to the adirondacks, the group trip to NH, plus try to get down to NYC to visit my sis. i do want to have spending money while at college though... maybe just just get a decent part-time job while at college...
uh...i forget what else i was gonna add, so amybe in a later entry or i'll update this one.
hammocks are great things. bugs are not.
