screeeeeech!!!
Jul. 15th, 2002 08:46 amFriday - S and Al came over to our place for dinner. A wasn't feeling well. I had stopped at Haymarket and got lots of red snapper fillets, fruit and veggies for about 10 bucks. We had fish, spinach, potatoes and homemade cheese bread for dinner. Afterwards, we all headed out to M's place for a house cooling party. His lease is up and he's moving out, so it was the inverse of a house warming party. To keep with the theme of things, all the drinks involved ice or icecream. Some truely hideous but tasty concoctions came out of that man's blender Friday night.
Saturday - got up really late, since Boy stayed at M's till 2-3 in the morning. I left a little after midnight. After coming back from the farm, Boy and I went to see MIIB. I liked it but it was missing something. Maybe originality. I dunno.
Sunday - went back to the farm and rode. We didn't get to on Saturday since we got there so late and it was in the lower 90s. I didn't want to work so I wasn't willing to make the horses work either. Had a good ride and got both horses across the stream. We had to get off and walk/pull/push them across but they got there.
Afterwards, we went up to Pawtuckaway to go climbing. I didn't make it up any of the climbs this time. Slab climbing just doesn't work when your entire body is shaking badly. I couldn't seem to keep enough steady weight on my toes to friction my way up. The one time I slipped, I managed to do a full body slide down the rock. Knees, thighs, elbows and stomach (go crop top) all have rockburn on them now. It hurt like hell once the bleeding stopped and the sweat starting getting into it.
We finished up our climb with about 45 minutes of swimming. Most of the ponds at Pawtuckaway are pretty nasty, dead trees all through them and stuff. The one beside our wall was nice and rock bottomed (in the 2 feet near shore where you can touch) and didn't smell funny. The top foot and a half of water was about 75 degrees. It quickly got colder, the lower you went. Out in the deeper areas, body length down was about 45 degrees. You could lay on top and swirl the really cold water up and over you, yet getting in was easy because the top was so warm. Definitely the best of both swimming worlds.
Note to self - bring bathing suit next time. A white sports bra and jean shorts (forgot climbing pants) do not a bathing suit make. And jeans take forever to dry...
