OT: How I spent my summer vacation?

[pixburgher66]

Thanks for reminding me.

"I also did not get stabbed or beat up in an elevator"

And forced to apologize for your involvement in getting beat up in said elevator.

Headed up to B-E-A-UTIFUL Glen Lake tomorrow morn. Had an interview today, so I missed the first few days of vacation, but happy to catch a few of them anyway...and I really need a job.

Oh, at one family party my cousin's brother in law showed up. Keep in mind my cousin has been married to this guy's brother for almost 35 years. I've pretty much known him my whole life. So I remember his massive Colts fandom.

He was wearing a "Win lose or tie, I'm a Ravens fan til I die" T-shirt.

"So, unless they move huh?" I said. He was not amused.

Did he support the Baltimore CFL Colts?

No. Pretty much no one had any use for that commie football.

I do think he was pretty pissed off they couldn't use the name Colts, though.

I didn't follow them but the Stallions had the best attendance in the league one year, 2nd in another. A group of my friends took a big road trip to see them play and away game in Shreveport. I wanted no part of that drive.

I just returned from my vacation. 9 days in the driving hell hole that is Maryland.

It was mostly positives, though. Only spent about six hours total with the Inlaws, the rest was with my family. Got in three days at the beach and got to see some old Dew Tour compatriots, some I hadn't seen in 10+ years. Even got up on deck with my son and daughter during the skateboard park practice and met Caballero.

I had a Boog's pit beef sammich and Thrasher's fries. Twice. Only got body slammed into the sand by a wave once. Surfing slams outnumbered 2:1 by sammiches is a very positive ratio.

And no one shot me despite three whole days in Baltimore. I stayed off I-95 north though.

And not even a call or a pop in.

I went to most of the games myself.

I called 1-800-LAWYERS and they said you were out chasing an ambulance through Dupont Circle.

I spent a little bit trying to figure out that work is until I realized you were referring to Jon Krakauer.

I'm a complete idiot, lol.

Hahahha, I should've done Krakauer-ian...seeing as Krakauerian isn't actually a word.

A Nikitian effort, if I do say so myself.

True - I fell into the right answer eventually, but it wasn't pretty.

So I'm gone this summer and none of y'all have done ANYTHING? No pics? Nada?!?

C'mon, fellas and ladies. I went on an 8,000+ mile camping trip for a month across the country to Zion, Bryce Canyon, Yosemite, Mammoth Cave, Yellowstone, and Glacier National Parks. Here are some timelapses I shot on my adventure...



Curious what you all have been up to and can't wait for hockey season to start!
