MUD, MUD, AND MORE MUD!

WOW WHAT A TRIP. THE TRAILS WERE THE BEST EVER. MY UNCLE BILL EVEN SUNG THE NATIONAL ANTHEM BEFORE THE RACE.
THERE IS ME HEADING THROUGH THIS HUGE STREAM.

AND HERE IS PAUL FORDING THROUGH!

UP AND COMING

WELL THE WEEKS MOVE BY AT A LIGHTNING SPEED THESE DAYS. ESPECIALLY WITH THE NICER WEATHER. EVEN THOUGH THAT IT HAS RAINED MORE DAYS THAN IT HAS BEEN SUNNY SINCE I GOT MY CAR A FEW MONTHS BACK. I HAVEN'T HAD A LONG ENOUGH STRETCH OF NICE WEATHER TO EVEN GET MY NEW CAR WASHED. WELL THIS WEEKEND SHOULD BE INTERESTING. FINALLY GETTING TO GO QUADING AGAIN. IT HAS BEEN AWHILE. THOUGH THE FORECAST IS SAYING RAIN, IT SHOULD STILL BE A LOT OF FUN. RAIN MEANS PLENTY OF MUD. AND WITH THE ALL THE RAIN WE HAVE BEEN HAVING, IT SHOULD BE REAL FRIGGIN MUDDY. MONTICELLO POKER RUN, HERE WE COME!

THE PARTY

WELL THE PARTY WAS GREAT. THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO SHOWED UP TO SAY GOOD BYE TO OUR GREAT FRIEND BRETT. MISS YOU ALREADY BRO. GOOD LUCK OUT THERE.

GETTING READY FOR THE FIRST PARTY OF THE SUMMER

IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE WE THREW A BASH AT OUR HOUSE. IT SHOULD BE A LOT OF FUN. BUT IT IS UNDER SAD TERMS THOUGH. BRETT, MY LONGTIME FRIEND IS LEAVING US ALL HERE IN NEW YORK AS HE EMBARKS ON THE NEXT CHAPTER OF HIS LIFE. HE HEADS OUT TO CALIFORNIA. HE AND HIS WIFE AND SON WILL BE STARTING A NEW LIFE OUT THERE. I WISH THEM THE BEST. WE NEVER DID GET TO HANG OUT MUCH WHEN HE DID LIVE HERE THESE PAST FEW YEARS. EVERYONE GETS SO BUSY WITH LIFE THAT IT IS HARD TO SEE EACH OTHER AS OFTEN AS WE USED TO. IT WILL BE EVEN HARDER NOW FOR US TO HANG OUT. I AM HOPING THAT AS TIME MOVES FORWARD, WE ARE AFFORDED A LITTLE MORE FINANCIAL SECURITY AND FREEDOM TO VISIT MORE FREQUENTLY. BUT I KNOW FROM A COST AND TIME POINT OF VIEW THAT IT WILL SOMETIME BEFORE WE WILL BE ABLE TO CHILL AGAIN. HOPEFULLY NOT TOO LONG. MISS YOU ALREADY BRO...

NEVER AGAIN

WELL THE WEEKEND WENT BY WAY TOO FAST. IT DIDN'T HELP THAT ME AND THE GUYS DRANK AN ENTIRE BOTTLE OF CHEAP WHISKEY ON FRIDAY. OH MAN. THE HANG OVER WAS HORRIBLE. I SLEPT UNTIL 1PM ON SATURDAY. I HAD DIFFICULTY DOING ANYTHING OTHER THAN LAY ON THE COUCH. NEVER AGAIN

finally

well the cat is out of the bag. i told my father and my step mother. they were so excited. it is nice to see that some people in this world are genuinely excited for us
