Woot.
I went out bike riding today.
Goal - 25 Miles : Actuall - 28.4 Miles
South Boulevard and Crooks south to Square Lake, then Square Lake to Adams, Adams to Long lake, Long lake to Coolidge, Coolidge to 13, 13 to Ryan, Ryan to Long Lake, Long Lake to Crooks, and Crooks home. Not bad if I do say so myself. My arms and face got sunburnt. The stripe on my wrist is cleary visible. It didn't occur to me to take sunscreen in mid-april. My goal for next week is 30 miles.
Easter weekend went well. The usual madhouse driving between families but I'm used to it. Friday I went to Saginaw because it was my little brother (Patrick's) 11th birthday. I stayed there friday night and got up Saturday and went with my stepdad and litle bro to shoot a round of sporting clays before driving back to Troy. I did decently (28 out of 50) for not having been out in over a year. Saturday night I went to the Easter Service at Kensignton then to a LAN party. I also got a new mouse, because my old one was on the fritz, and it's really hard to play WCIII without a mouse. Sunday I actually got to sleep in a bit and then had easter lunch here in Troy and then went back to Saginaw for Easter dinner. As usual the Troy celebration consisted of about 5 people and the Saginaw one of about 20. Though we did comment how family gatherings (Mom's house) have evolved now that pretty much everybody is out of baby/toddler stage. Myself and my cousins took off to play street hockey for awhile and the adults commented how weird it was with none of the kids around. And the Easter bunny brought me two Easter backets (one at each house) :P
So...my next few months are pretty busy.
April 22-23 - Saginaw (Need to go watch little bro compete in DI states)
April 26th-29th - Atlanta for the FIRST championships (Only 9 Days till we leave....EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE)
May 6-7 - Wilderness First Aid Training
May 13-14 - Saginaw (Mother's Day weekend and all)
May 19-21 - DAC Shakedown trip to prepare for Philmont
May 26-29 - Caving Trip (Woot)
June 6th - Work Sarts (Mon-Fri, 8:00-5:00)
June 16-18 - Venturing Regional/Cook-a-thon
June 26-July 9 - Vacation with Dad's family (someplace warm with a beach, probably Hawaii or the Caribean)
July 3 - 21st Birthday (will be away though)
July 16-22 - Vacation with Mom's family (Hopefully anyway, may be scheduling conflicts, but this is the only week I have free. Up north to the Keewenaw if it does work out.)
July 23-August 6th - Philmont trip (Another Woot)
TBD - Mackinaw Island for a weekend and Cedar Point for a weekend. (Let me know if you're interested in either or both)
I'm looking forward to it.
Thanks everyone that listened to me the last few weeks. I was a smidge stressed.
