Holy Mother of Vest-man! that was a mighty fuckoff pile of luggage! I cannot even begin to approach checking online to see our VISA bill for this festival... it's definitely going to be displayed in scientific notation as browsers get dicey with that many zeros. We went with three pieces and came back with 12+... mucho toys for cheffy as well so no real worries.
Wow great, great
GREAT time. Hooked up with some like minded foodie types and traded dinners five or six times, wonderful. I even thought I saw Velvett in a convertable on my way into town for the early morning bagel buy... followed that poor woman around for an hour... of course, it wasn't her and the hottie in the ragtop is prolly still in hiding... Sorry, Velv, the temptation was too great to pass up....
Did the monster eating fest and actually trained about 4 times a week, crazy: there is a new, small but nicely equiped gym about 10 minutes from the 'farm'. Opens at 5am so all was right, all was in train. I was at the tail end of a summer 'supplement program' and, I must say, was looking tragicly swolen: you should have seen the looks on the faces of the Berkshire Monies that work out there when I reached for the dusty 100's.... priceless.
Worked out with a guy that used to be on Murpy Brown, pretty cool fellow until he suggested we partake in hot man on man assplay action and then got offended when I said, 'not with a washed up character actor, no fucking way.... Got cash?...."
Brother in law bought the groovy bass boat and much fishing in multiple lakes was had by all. Did pretty good too, we had a run of brown trout at the end of Lake Otis that will go down in history (er... that is to say we caught more fish than donuts consumed, pretty amazing.)
Stopped off at the convention for the first night (sister has connections), what a sea of granola harvesting hair farmers! I was waiting for one of those seal kissing, whale felating, tree hugging, edyoukashun funding knee jerkers to lambaste me for wearing leather...
Had a few bizzare run in's with the law/customs, but that's for a another thread...
