Since we last spoke...
Had a BBQ. Invited a few of my friend, a few of Susan's and my parents. I believe it was a success. Oh yeah and it's always good when your house is full of hot girls.
Oh yeah and Cameron was there too.
Then I bought my parent's motor home so I could camp in luxury this year.
We stocked it full of camp wood and hit the road.
Things went pretty good. Susan got some much needed rest and even though it rained we managed to have a good time.
Dinner on the first night (self portrait via the mirror on the bathroom door.
So Saturday morning was a little bit nicer so we packed up some survival supplies and hit a trail at the campground. I was planning on getting in a couple hikes this trip to build up a reserve but we only managed the one due to weather, time, constraints.
Anyway off to the hike.
Right at the start I noticed something above my head that I found very cool. Not often do you see a tree fall yet manage to wedge itself in other trees so that it never actually hits the ground.
Then about half way down the trail I spotted a little critter on the trail. Of course due to Susan's slimy scaley fetish she made friends.
It was a really nice hike, minus the wet feet part. We got to experience some of the true pacific northwest forest. Moss hanging from trees, devil's club taller then me with leaves at least 2.5 feet across, stinging neddles that came up to eye level, birds, chipmunks etc etc.
Then all of a sudden we came around a corner and...
Clear cut../cry the beauty was gone and all that was left was a stripped hillside.
So we went back to the camper and took an afternoon nap.
Looks cozy eh?
So there's my May hike, Hope to get my June hike in while it's still June. OH WAIT! I'm going white water rafting in Wenatchee this weekend, I'll take my camera and try to pawn that off as a trip. I mean it's physical exercise, fresh air, and pics. I think I can actually argue with Bryce to get that to count.
So the diet side...I've been bouncing between 170 and 174 all month long. Still eating the healthier foods but you can't really eat healthy when you go camping. It was burgers and hot dogs for lunch and dinner, and eggs and pancakes for breakfast each morning. I'm sure I can come in at 172 by the end of the month, even if I have to skip a dinner or two to get there. All in all pretty happy with my weight and diet at the moment.
And, yes I'm still doing yard work. Hence the title of this post. Spent every sunny day out there this month and I'm almost to the back yard.
Looking good to me, even if the pic is a bit fuzzy.
I'll try to get a post up about the rafting trip by the end of the month.
As usual if you'd like to see all my pics and not just my selected few http://picasaweb.google.com/JamesBentow
