squatting log and moose dropping are such a tease....

So for 19 hours yesterday i was once again apart of all that was mass exodus journeymen. Alas, even though it was short lived we we made the most of it. It began as S.L and M.D arrived at 8pm sweaty and tired (possible from the car ride, possibly from the previous nights festivities). Our first activity began as a "cool off" swim but turned into a war of "floaties". There was hitting there was smacking there was water blowing but in the end there were just three people who had escaped from the repressing heat of the southern california sun.

From there we migrated to dinner, which was 15 ft away on the porch. There we sat in candlelight with the stars above us as we ate calzones that my mom made. Accompanied with our calzones were tall frosty mugs filled with the magnificent pyramid hefe. We stayed on the porch for at least 3 hours watching stars, shooting stars, and satellites until the orange harvest moon came out.

After, we tried to go asleep in the smoldering heat from the Santa Anna winds. S.L and M.D. passed out from exhaustion but i lay awake sweating,wishing that my house had air conditioning. In the morning we arose to more heat and jumped in the pool again.

For breakfast I took S.L and M.D to Minows. A great breakfast burrito place in the harbor. From there we met Flying Squirrel Sr. and went sailing on the beautiful blue pacific. (the first time for S.L and M.D) The only problem was that there was minimal wind and the Curhanic needed assistance as S.L and I had to paddle the schooner out to sea (just like at Maloney's).

Then just as soon as it started, just 19 hours earlier, I departed from mass exodus journeymen AGAIN. It was the second time in a week and I have to tell you goodbye's don't get easier with time.

I wish the remaining journeymen good luck in vegas and safe journeys home
