Stuff and things, mudpuppie. Stuff and things.

yay mudpuppie is back! How was camping?

I killed jonmc, wrapped him in cheese, fried him, and ate him.

After scanning all posts, the only one I see that's applicable to you is that if your wedding dress fails while on the altar, thereby exposing your bare behind, then divorce will probably follow in your intermediate future.

Other than that, rainbaby has had a shitty week so far, taz is hot, possible meetups in SF and Chicago and maybe a beer in Honolulu, and we seem to have missed hadjiboy's bday.

How was the trip?

I killed jonmc, wrapped him in cheese, fried him, and ate him.

I don't think he would want to go any other way.

Pips suspect anything?

Oh, and bacon. I wrapped him in bacon.

In the last five days, I've eaten about ten pounds of watermelon. Seriously.

Mmm, watermelon.

The camping was great. We got to our reserved campsite on Thursday evening and it was so smoky, we didn't stay. Drove 40 minutes into Reno and spent the night there. Next day, took off in search of a less smoky spot. Ended up in a beautiful campground outside of Sierra City, CA, which is absolutely gorgeous.

The smoke was a constant threat, depending on the hour of the day, but it never really got bad in our campground (which was in a high, narrow valley). There were a couple days, though, were we couldn't really drive 5 miles in either direction without it getting terribly smoky.

On the way home yesterday -- dirty, sweaty, smelly, exhausted -- we stopped in Nevada City for a late lunch. Finally found place that was open, after wandering the streets in 100+ heat, and sat down to order. My mouth was watering, thinking about the cold, cold beer I was about to request. Waiter came along, asked what we wanted. As soon as I said "I'll have...", the electricity went out. In the entire town. So we drove on to Grass Valley, found a joint there, and had a huge, cold salad. It hit the spot.

Now we're back in the flatlands, facing an entire week of temps ranging from 105-108, with lots of smoke still hanging in the air. (As you well know, special-k!)

It was really good to take a loooooong shower, but I'm not sure I'm glad to be back.

I'll match your ten pounds of watermelon with 3 whole bags of grapes, box.

Welcome back, 'pupps!

Yeah pups, I know. That's why I escaped to the coast where it's a pleasant 78 and just a tad bit smokey.

So we drove on to Grass Valley, found a joint there

I think this line appears in an Arlo Guthrie song.

Also explains all the smoke...

Oh, my (unmarried)daughter's new love interest finally manned up and asked her out. :D

As it's prone to, shit happened.

I killed jonmc, wrapped him in cheese, fried him, and ate him.... Oh, and bacon. I wrapped him in bacon.
