Capture the flag was fun last Sunday. I invited a couple people from off the streets to play, so maybe I will see them. I played a mix of defense and offense this time. The first game we won pretty soon, Brian and I running with the flag. The second game, though. They had such a hard defense to penetrate on the Ellis parking ramp. I was the ( Read more... )

Ahhh Capture the Flag was fun. Two Sundays ago Brian and I were on the Yellow team, and we won both games. Last Sunday, I found out that apparently Yellow had won won five games, and tied three, so they hadn't lost yet. So Brian, Ruby, and I went on the Red team, and we won both games! Ha ha. So we might stay on Red for a while. Brian and I ( Read more... )

Hmm. Visited Ruby's dad and stepmom in Laingsburg again. Very fun. Climbed trees with Robin and Wren. I got to hold a garter snake! (Ruby has some good pictures ( Read more... )

I had a nice week at the cottages. We built a patio, steps, and a retaining wall on the beach. It took a long time, and the weather wasn't all that nice. The water was very cold, too. We barely got it done in time. It costed a couple hundred dollars to make, too. Every time I help build a structure, though, it really expands my idea of things ( Read more... )

Well, I picked Ruby up from the airport on Sunday. She told me on the phone that her flight number was 320, and that she would be arriving at 3:01. So Sunday I go to look at the flights online, and I can't find any 320 flight. There is a 260 flight coming in at 3:13 though, so i assume it must be that one. I get the the airport at about 2:40, ( Read more... )

Ruby started another contest in Africa a while ago. It was a sit-up/push-up contest. it went up by 5 everyday, and the two losers of it had to get tattoos. So I started in on it, but I've been pretty inconsistent with it. I finally decided to just stop at 100's of push ups and sit ups. I haven't even been doing them every day I should (they ( Read more... )

Ah, I got my old bike fixed up. One of Emily's friends has a bike repair shop, and i guess she works on bikes all the time. Their apartment is filled with bikes. Like at least 20, and they own all of them. So I got some minor problems fixed. I realized how heavy my bike was. It must be about %50 heavier than other bikes. But I like it a lot ( Read more... )

Someone stole my bike yesterday. I got out of work, and looked down the steps to find my bike, and all that was there was the bike helmet. So they stole the bike, but didn't want the helmet. Maybe karma will get them. ha ha. It sucks, though, to bike all over the city, and if you ever forget to lock up once, your bike is gone. Especially at ( Read more... )
