Fast Weekend

This weekend went fast.  Its not like wee did much. I mean we did stuff, and I will share that in a sec, but I blinked and it is late Monday night.

Summer is here. We are in the mid 80s and the humidity is here. But there has generally been gentle zephyrs to keep it from being uncomfortable.

Yet another pair of cyclists came through Saturday and stayed through Sunday.  Same Trans-America route from VA to OR.  These folks, however, are taking it much slower; touring more than cycling alone.   The take more days off and are moving at a slower pace.  Out of PA they have school and stuff waiting for them in Laramie, WY so they plan on doing the bike run then drive back to WY.   A fun couple, Linda and Phil.  Phil was a punster so James and I had fun with him. My friend JC would have enjoyed his company very much.

Saturday was more of a day of rest than Sunday.  We stuck around the camp and practiced, did laundry, and generally goofed off. Sunday, however, we hot church where they honored those who died in service to our country and the pastor gave a wonderful message on Greed, ending the series of the Seven deadly sins.  The whole series was very cool and very very interesting.  One of the resources the pastor mentioned was a book called Sinning Like a Christian, a look at the Seven Deadly Sins.  On my Amazon list.

After church Miles took us again to the pinnacles. Called pinnacles for five reason; five pinnacles.   This time we went out to the East Pinnacle. It was only a nearly 2 mile walk from parking to the peak, but the first  mile is straight up with tree roots, rocks, and fallen branches ready to trip you. The whole area is forest owned by the college but  over 160 years ago it was corn fields and homesteads.  Its crazy to think someone thought it a good idea to put a cornfield into the side of a steep hill.   Yes, compared to California foothills and mountains these were just hills.  And the pinnacle we went to was like a very very small version of our own Bald Rock in California. However,  the view was lush and green and beautiful.

We were all wiped out from the walk due to the steep climb and the humidity. So the rest of the day was indeed rest.

Today was preparation for our Michigan shows so the trapeze and other equipment was packed and the vehicles checked. I gave Tator tot a grooming today as well. In fact, each of the last three days I gave each dog their summer cut.  Tator had gotten so fuzzy that the clippers, even after hours of brushing just couldn't give him a teddy bear cut so he had to be taken down to skin.   He walks around as though he has been humiliated.

The three younger ones and Kyle decided to have a water-gun fight tonight. But not with any old water.  They took rabbit poo and mixed it with water and used it.  Now bunnies are cute and cuddly but I bet you did not know their poop and pee is very pungent or is it pugniant?  Anyway.  They all stunk at then end of it and Mami was none to happy. Another load of wash tomorrow.

No there might have been more going on these past three days, but to tell you the truth, I can't recall. So If I do remember I will mention it next time.

Cheers.
