I went on vacation, as some of you know. There was a family reunion at my great grandfather's place in Oroville, Washington. On the way up, we stayed at my great aunt's place in Redmond, OR. They have a nice sized beef cattle farm going there. I went a lot of places and took a lot of pics. I will put some up tonight or tomorrow. Megan has the camera right now and is getting all the pics printed out. (I find it odd to say developed when there's no real film)

We broke our Kodak 6MP camera on the way up and set to walmart where we got a Sony 14.1MP that I like a CrapTon (US Standard) more.

My mother is terrified, DEATHLY, of flying so we drove the entire way. We planned on leaving on a Friday afternoon and going to Oregon through California on the 5. So I got up at 3 on Friday, worked, came home and packed. Then I waited until 1AM Saturday for my mom to show up. We didn't leave until 2 am. I was tired already but we already lost half a day so I just packed the car and we all left. I drove straight through stopping only for gas, and we arrived Saturday night at ten pm. I was cramped up in that car from the drive that it was actually painful to stand. We stayed in OR for three full days and left at 8pm to my grandpa's place in WA and arrived there at 4 or 5am. We had breakfast and went on with our day.

I took Megan fishing up in Wannacut Lake where, between five people, we had 24 trout in less than three hours. Megan had never gone fishing before and she caught the first fish and the biggest. She was the only one that didn't get her five fish limit though. That was fine with her, since we cleaned the fish right off the hook. My uncle has the meat up there still. He is having it smoked and vacuum sealed then shipped down to us.

We also went up to Bonaparte Lake and rented those paddle boats that you pedal like a bike. That was all kinds of fun. I will be sure to put up picks of those and of the fish we caught.

Oh, and we hiked Smith Rock in OR. That was awesome. I managed to get to the very peak, where on three sides is a shear cliff to the river over 500 feet down and the only footing you have is five feet round and the path down is eight inches wide at the narrowest. A gust of wind nearly pushed me over. Needless to say we took our pics and got off the peak.

anywho, more later, pics later

It sounds like you had a hell of a time, man. That's awesome. I don't see how you weren't tired as f*ck the entire time though. Flying would have been much easier on you.

And yeah, pics are mandatory.

Welcome back, Bot! I've been wondering why you weren't on XBL for some Battlefield. Now I remember why!

Here are the pics, I was a bit lazy and just dumped the camera into Picasa so you get all 207 pics.

I think that's the first time I've seen a really good pic of you. At least compared to the McGangbang pic a few months ago. But holy crap, man... that all looked awesome. And out of all of those pictures, all I want to do now is make 6½ gallons of whiskey.

But yeah, that looked like a load of fun... and it seemed you visited a ton of places.

Yeah, I am actually looking for a fifty gallon drum. I am checking around at grocery stores but I think I will have to go to a cement factory. They use chemicals that are food grade in some products. I just need to get one of the drums they use that used to house them, like tartar powder, TiO2, or something similar.

Insult, could you have posted MORE pictures? 200 is not nearly enough.

And all that just to make 6.5 gallons of moonshine?
