Really, Really Quick

I guess it is true that hope never dies. More than three weeks have passed and yet people still come here hoping for something new. Far be it from me to crush that hope, so here is a quick update.

First, the other week on the way home from work we had a bunch of people pulling up beside us, honking and waving. Nothing seemed to be wrong, but when we looked back a bucket of string had fallen over and we had a nice little tail coming off the end of the truck. We weren't going to pull over just for some string, so we kept on going to the park and ride. I have no idea how long the string had been slowly stretching out, but by the time we got to the parking lot we had several hundred feet on string trailing out behind us. Needless to say we were all laughing pretty hard as we gathered it all in.



Next I've been having some more fun with shooting. Mostly just researching online and looking things up, but also stopping by here and trying out a couple of different 9MM's. (Check out some of the pictures, their collection is pretty impressive)

I've also gone sailing with some friends from church. I think it was the best sailing trip I've been on to date. The weather was perfect, the wind was fairly kind to us, and I even got to pilot for a while. (You'll have to take my word for that as the pictures don't show the wheel.





Last weekend I had an incredible time with a couple of friends going to a concert at the Verizon Center in Manchester. I like country music and Martina Mcbride is probably one of my top three favorite country artists. To make it even better, apparently the show didn't sell very well, so we got a free seat upgrade! The weren't spectacular seats but still better than what we originally bought. It was my first big concert and I had a great time yelling, cheering, and being part of the crowd.


And finally I just got back a couple of hours ago from hiking up the infamous Mt. Monadnock with a couple of friends. It was hot and humid, and we even got rained on a little bit but it was still a great time of being with friends. It was especially good since two of them were up visiting from Pennsylvania and I hadn't seen them since last December.




And of course there has been work, and life, and cooking, and such. Just as a reminder to myself in years to come, I made strawberry rhubarb pie for the first time last weekend, and mmm-mmm was it good. So there you have it. Thanks for your patience and your comments. Hopefully soon I can return the favor on your site.

Free seat upgrades are always good. :-)

Thanks for the update, Wes. It was most entertaining. Glad you enjoyed your first big concert.
Live music is so amazing.

That hat has GOT to go! You aren't an old salty seadog nor an old curmudgeon.

Of course, you also like country.

Sigh, I guess my faith just wasn't enough ;-)

OK, here's my all-important opinion. ;)

The hat is good.

The terms "seadog" and "curmudgeon" don't seem to fit you somehow.

Martina McBride is awesome.

Thanks for the new post! :)

Dj, say what you will, but the opinions of three beautiful women mean a little more than yours when it comes to my clothes. :D

Why, thank you!

;)

Eh, they're just trying to butter you up, Wes...

heh heh heh :)

Flattery will get you everywhere, Wes. The opinions of not one, not two, but three beautiful women are totally valid.
