The hospital is no place to rest
All of us were worried and downright scared as out mother went into the hospital for chest pain. Judy White, spent 4 days in 2 different hospitals getting angioplasty.
We stayed with her in shifts, 24 hours a day during her stay. This is not the way to quit smoking, but she has. Aside from some bleeding from the small insision sites she did just fine and should be much better now. Time for me to quit smoking too, if I want to keep Amber from suffering thru my demise.
Recon - Lake Juliette
Our 8 mile recon of the lake proved very valuable. We learned our craft was sturdy, a little beat up, but will do just fine. The lake is pretty big when you are paddling a canoe. Considering the upcoming race will be at night, the lake will be huge !
The power plant will be a great nav tool, those stacks will be lit up at night. The water is great, mostly clear and no sign of gators, some pretty good sized fish though. We both had some soreness afterwords, but nothing major.
Lake Juliette
Headed to Lake Juliette early today with my Bro. Need to scout out the area for the upcoming adventure race. We will be testing out the canoe and doing some open water navigation. Temps are supposed to reach near 100 so an early start is a good idea.
Also, this post is a test from my Fedora box. Using Linux gets better and easier everyday.
OAR prep begins
52 days and counting...... the Ocmulgee Adventure Race, or OAR is suddenly getting close. At least it seems that way when much still needs to be done in preparation. I have got off and running, gathering the gear needed. Going down the gear list, I was very pleased to already have a survival mirror and water purification tablets. Now, the real adventure begins.... how to carry it all and my big *ss over the river and thru the woods to grandmother's house in the middle of the night.
Working we my Bro will be fun, probably aggravating and frustrating too. But when it comes down to it, I could not trust nor count on no other. So, I am sure I will be a pain in my own way.
At least I can put that " ARMY TRAINING, SIR ! " to good use. I have at least gotten lost in the dark, in the woods more times than most people. That experience will help. I have added a boat horn to list......
