Crazy bike ride

We got back from camping, rested a bit, and headed out for a bike ride down to the Canal and up the riverwalk.

On the Riverwalk/190 overpass, right after the tunnel we heard someone yelling. All of the sudden, this kid comes flying around the corner on his bike way too fast. He nicks (e:yesthatcasey)'s bike and slams head first into Terry's chest.

It was terrifying. (e:Terry) was scraped but up and walking quickly while the kid took a while longer. Besides asking if he needed help I didn't know what to do. The kid said he was fine, and when I asked him about his bike's broken brakes, he said he they haven't been working. It seems so behindert that he would go flying down an incline like that with no brakes - if he didn't hit Terry he would have gone head first into a concrete wall.

The kid didn't want any help and rode off. Poor Terry hurt his knee and sprained his hand - I guess it could have been worse.

Afterwards, we cut the ride short to get groceries and make dinner at home. We grilled, had corn on the cob, cheesy potatoes and white bean hummus. I was so full.

A year

A day late but I met (e:paul) and (e:terry) one year ago (5/25/13).
Who knew that so much could happen in just a year? I feel so lucky. I can't wait to see everything we can do together.

I don't think I've ever felt so much love, and felt so loved.

Jones Pond Pt II

After the cleanup, (e:joe,59017), we headed out to go c(gl)amping with (e:yesthatcasey). We ended up deciding to go back to Jones Pond again, the other option being Brushwood. I have to give props to Casey for being open minded and coming to gay camp with us. It was very tame but he did have to put up with straight jokes and come ons from the resident senior citizens.

Almost the entire trip was a good time. The weather was amazing, we got plenty of swimming, football, beer and cheesesticks in. It was nice to relax and be outside in perfect temperatures. We found a good wooded camp site away from the open field.

On the other hand, I had fun hanging out among ourselves, but there weren't many people there I had interest in hanging out with. Getting looked at and talked about like pieces of meat gets old pretty fast. Obviously things were busier and a little less crazy for us than last week, but it's not a place I'd want to go back to very often.

We got to wear sarongs around - Paul and I had mini-sarongs.

There was a drag show the second night. Casey was outgayed at this point.

Spring planting

Saturday morning, before we went camping, (e:paul), (e:terry) and I did some work around the house. (e:Paul) finished painting and repainting the driveway side of the trim on the house - it looks so good now.

Terry and I did some gardening - we planted snapdragon, sedum, catmint among other things. We also finally turned over the compost - it's real good after you get below the winter's worth of food.

Basra is an idiot and got himself stuck under the firepit. Instead of walking out, he stood up and started draging it around the yard.

Lindsay's going away

Friday night, we headed out with (e:yesthatcasey) and (e:mike) to Casa Di Pizza to say goodbye to Lindsay. She got this 5 month forestry gig down in Kentucky, which is pretty awesome.

A wag of the finger to (e:terry)

We didn't stick around too long, but Mike and Paul got to go deer hunting at the bar.

Cooking with Terry

After all the shopping, (e:terry) gave a cooking lesson to (e:yesthatcasey) and me. We had a dinner of burritos and rice and beans (sorry (e:paul)). I want to start to learn cooking something a little more complicated than spaghetti and vegetables.

Paul goes to Aldi

(e:Paul) and I went on a shopping extravaganze yesterday. Target, Home Depot, and Pep Boys. I made him come check out Aldi. I used to be so obsessed with it but I haven't been back since October when I moved. I wonder why? They even have gluten free and organic things now. Boug on a budget.

We did cancel it out on the way home with a stop at the coop.

I used to eat so much of this. $0.39 a box

Why is this a thing?

Quick Letchworth hike

Going home from Jones Pond, we stopped at Letchworth for a short hike - (e:flacidness) had never been there before. It was a beautiful day. I wanted to just fall asleep laying in the sun for the rest of the day.
