Camping with the Devans (Saturday night)

Saturday was a cool as hell despite starting out on the wrong foot (or leg).

Kim and I slept in the tent Friday night and I woke up probably 4 times, once yelling in pain kinda loud. My leg cramped up and it sucked. I couldn't even walk it off like when I was going to the gym all the time. I thought that it was just because of all the running around that I did Friday, but it's more likely that I was dehydrated.

Kim, Michele, Bryan and I went to visit Bob and Lisa at Sherkston during the afternoon which was cool finally getting to see them and find out how Alaska was.

Kim, Michele and Bryan decided to go swimming at the Quarry, while Lisa, Bob and I went to the waterslides which was both fun and painful.

Yes, you heard me, painful...

I haven't done anything like that in probably over 20 years, so I decided to lay down in the slide and go faster (thanks for that advice, Bob) and I smashed my elbow into my side.

My chest is still hurting from it a couple of days later. If I stretch (or sneeze, blink, whatever) my chest hurts.

After that happened, we still went down the slides a couple more times. (I wasn't gonna let a little bit of pain stop me.)

Then, we went to the quarry...

I thought what better way to surprise Kim than to swim out to see her out in the middle of the lake (without a noodle). Let's just say that was one of the dumbest ideas I've EVER had. My leg cramped up (come on, you're kidding me, I should have been fine... That would NEVER happen to me.) Yes, I am a dumbass, I'll admit it now.

The whole point to me doing it wasn't that, it was to get over being in the water. I seem to be doing well with facing my other fears this year, why not get that one out of the way as well....

And while everyone was having a good time, I was trying to get rid of the cramp. :(

Once it started to feel better, I decided to jump off the peer (again, no noodle) because everyone else was. (And yes, I would jump off a cliff if the cool kids were doing it too.)

After that we had London Broil at the cabin which was incredible. I never had that before, and it was great. We went back to Bob and Lisa's to see fireworks. (Yes, for those of you keeping track in the studio audience, I believe that's 4 times this year.)

I got to smoke the Cuban Montecristo cigar which was great and since I had my new shiny flask filled with Green Label Jack Daniels.

Just hanging out with Kim and my friends, some Jack Daniels, and a cuban cigar it was a fun night...
