I normally have Fridays off, but I stepped up and offered to cover for someones vacancy so that cut into my weekend. I left work Friday and did a bunch of errands at home, just trying to get everything straightened up. I resisted the urge to go see 'The Dark Knight,' but may not be able to much longer. Kept doing chores and tried to get to bed at a decent hour since I was going boating Saturday.
Saturday morning came and I was barely ready when Kelly let me know they were leaving so I could meet them at the boat launch. I grabbed my stuff as fast as I could and got on the road, but I still had to do a couple errands before I got out of town. I did those and right when I was getting out of town, Kelly asked me to grab a few things from the store. I grabbed those and was on my way. I had bought one of those Styrofoam coolers and was filling it with ice and soda, from the store, when I noticed Kelly unloading at the dock, this was about 10:30. I ran over to see if I could assist and immediately got in the water, which was surprisingly warmer than I expected. As we were loading the cooler onto the boat it totally exploded and the contents went everywhere.... It wasn't a total loss, but it was a mess. We got that cleaned up and got out on the boat, heading up river to a little bank where quite a few others were out partying and having a good time.
We stopped in and hung out with everyone there listening to music dancing, and just gathering the rays. People came and went, but overall we stuck around that area. We did some runs back to the dock a couple of times to get or drop off people and when we did that we would fool around int he wake or jump off the boat or whatever. It was fun and I was still amazed the water wasn't half freezing. It was really nice. On the 'beach' some of the boats had awesome stereos and they were playing tunes. Overall it was pretty mellow and enjoyable. No big problems were encountered to my knowledge and drama was minimal, thank goodness. I did a lot of mingling and trying to be conversational for the duration. At about sunset we started to head in and I helped them load the boat back up, set up their camp and fire and just hung out chatting. It was important to me to make some form of an apology to Kelly for being a jerk that last time I saw her, so I did that. I'm glad to have another friend again! While we wer sitting around chatting and eating I was sitting by the camp fire and I heard a rustling but thought it was the wind. All of a suddent eh girls jumped up and took off running the opposite direction shouting that there was a skunk, I couldn't believe it! I was affraid to get sprayed so I sat still for a while and then slowly made my way to the picnic table to grab a flashlight. I made it to the light and scanned aroudn for the skunk and finaly saw it down by the tall grass gnawing on something, it looked like a hot dog. I tried to scare the thing off but was afraid it would spray. It was actually kind of cute. It finally decided to move off when the girls came over after I said it was cute. I grabbed what it had been eating and threw it out towards the water. I finally pulled myself away at midnight and drove home, it was a great day! thank you Kelly, Tiffany, and Michelle!
Proof I'm pretty dang lucky(yes, I'm in there somewhere)!
