Good Morning FO folk. Yipee, Friday and pay day. A special shout out to Joe Rocket for a good laugh this morning, "duty free".... now THAT is funny. Moved the boat out into the achorage last night, slept deep and peaceful... as the boat rides to the wind and waves and there is much less motion and noise. Nice, very nice. Very well rested and high spirited today. ;-) What's up for the weekend?

HA! Duty Free? Fooling around on the net this morning killing time waiting on a delivery, found a photo of Adventure which will be my ride for the schooner race. She is a beauty.

Today is my darling's 24th Birthday Big celebration. The rest of the weekend is, um, same 'ol.

very nice BR. :) Weekend plans include seeing my sister for the first time in a couple of years (YAY!), going to a friend's birthday party, going shopping for wet-weather clothing, taking the dogs for a really, really long walk and possibly seeing a mooooovie. Depends. Oh, and I got a recommendation from a cab driver this week for an Ethiopian restaurant that apparently roasts and serves Ethiopian coffee the traditional way. We're very excited to try that out.

I am excited for you dogs. What did you decide on for foul weather clothing? When is the actual move?

Actual move is end of October, arriving early November. Last day at work is next Wednesday WOOOO HOOOOO! We're going to see what MEC has in terms of rain gear, since they have some decent goretex raincoats. We'll be picking up some more base layers in silk and wool, and some polypropelene for the little dog. We won't get *everything* this weekend, we'll just see what's available. Sailing gear would be totally perfect, but it a bit too pricey right now. We can upgrade after a while. We will both be getting a pair of these, sooner or later:

Hmmm... those look interesting. I can't seem to master that the brake is on the back.

better than the front stop - you could go head over heels if you had to stop quickly

I like to try new things so I am going to go to the bar on campus after classes today. Class ends at 5:10 I am not sure it is even open at that time but... I am sure they are not going to have good scotch so I will do a shot of jagermeister in the spirit of a college student. As for the rest of the weekend I will be studying as much as I can.

Might I suggest a "red headed slut", jager, cranberry and a bit of triple sec. Tasty, but as the name implies... quite toxic so some temperance is in order. Have fun.

Sounds tasty/sweet. All I need is the cran.

Another wedding on my calendar. Took Saturday night off for a childhood friend's wedding. It's the first wedding, in quite some time, that I'm not photographing and I actually get to enjoy. Will be nice to coo at the next generation (before handing them back to their parents) and spend some quality drinking time with the rest of my old friends. Enjoy your weekend.

sounds awesome. weddings can bring out the best in friends and family.
