Eight months ago on September 11th, we made our 200th post. Today we hit 300! I don't have a whole lot to talk about, but I just happened to notice that we were sitting at 299 and I just had to add one.
I spent all morning playing Paul Bunyan with the chainsaw, finishing up the clearing of that punk tree that DARED fall on our car. I don't know how old-timey lumberjacks did it. I just spent 2 or 3 hours with the help of a chainsaw and I felt like I'd run a marathon with a 50 pound pack on my back.
This is my second night of being a bachelor and it's stormy AGAIN! Last night, there was some wicked thunder and lightning that kept me up for about an hour. I spent most of that hour curled up in the corner crying softly.* I'll never understand how kids can sleep through that stuff.
Tomorrow, a friend of mine is taking me flying in his Beechcraft Bonanza. He tells me his plane is an aerobatic version that is beefed up for fancy maneuvers like loops and rolls. Since this is the first time I've ever flown in a light plane, I hope he doesn't feel the need to show me any of those. Needless to say, I'm super-pumped. I'm taking a small camcorder and a point-n-shoot digicam up with me. I'm sure there will be a post or two all about it soon.
*may not be true
UPDATE -- Crappy weather on Saturday morning so we postponed our flight for a couple of weeks. At least Myra and Chris will get to go this time.
