Friday is When the Weekend Starts

We spent a fair bit of Friday morning cleaning up and packing. Still. Everything seemed to take longer than it should.

I got up at 6:30, fer goodnessakes! Went to a bootcamp, trying for a bit of preventative medicine. An hour of sweating more than balance out an entire weekend of eating and drinking to excess, right? So I got up early and got my motor running, and still we didn't get out of the city till after 2. I thought for sure that someone would be out there already, waiting for me. Luckily, that was not the case.

We unloaded the car and waited for others to show. After about an hour, Trev Kim and Nate showed up. They brought the rain with them. The rain didn't stick around too long, it just kept the heat of the day away.

Others arrived and soon the cabin was filled with the sound of laughter and booze.

Shut up, booze does so have a sound.

I think there may have been over 30 people out at some point. They didn't all stay overnight, thank goodness.

What were the highlights? Hard to say...

The food, as ever, was delicious. Cabin air makes food taste better. This is a fact. Science would back me up on this, but it is too busy eating delicious food.

I think I may have mentioned that instead of buying many steaks we instead bought one big slab of meat that we cut ourselves. It seemed less solid, more squishy. Less easy to juggle. But it cooked up just fine. Better than fine. SUPA FOINE! reddish pink all the way through. Best steak I've had all year. And potatoes to go along with it.

Breakfast each day was greasy and good. Jury is still out on the ham steaks, some liked 'em, others thought they were over-rated. I liked 'em.

Speaking of breakfasts, morning this year were not as bad as last year. No puke at all this year. Big change from last year. Big change. Really cut down on the clean up time. Gatorade and a massive jug of water are permanently added to the roster.

Back to food - stir fry also rocked. That griddle is god send.

Some people, not I, ping ponged.

Actually spent a decent amount of time on the baech this year. The lack of puking and hangovers this year probably helped. The not stupid heat was also nice. And I got to go for a swim. I would like to go for a couple more of those before the summer is done.

What else...?

Oh yeah, THIS!!!!!

Most fun anyone has ever had because of Family Circus. There is some truly filthy stuff in there. Provided you provide the filth. Which I always do.

The time just flew and before I knew it I was in an near empty cabin with too much food and booze left over and a whole lotta empties.
