Up to Speed

I have been getting some grief for not having any recent posts so I'm gonna hit you all with three in a row.

Lea and I after a wonderful stay at the Stuber family homestead moved to our new diggs just outside of Port Townsend, WA. In between here and there  I had one hell of a road trip back to Wisconsin for my sister in law's wedding. Like usual our family weddings do not disappoint,  it was an amazing time. I will say that for the near future (unless the wedding is on a river somewhere) I think I'll be avoiding the wedding scene. So Sara and Scott got the wedding thing out of the way.

I was also able to visit my family in La Crosse. Its a beautiful city I recommend a visit. After something like 70 hours of windshield time and a new water pump Mom and I were done with driving.

So what did I do after such a big road trip? Loaded the car up and headed out to our new place. For those of you who are geographically challenged from Marysville to Port Townsend Wa, there is a big hunk of water blocking the way. So unless you have the stomach to drive from Marysvill to Tacoma (through Seattle traffic), and around the Olympic Peninsula the ferry is much easier. Did I mention that Lea was gone for most of this? Anyhoo, she at least got to see the last load. It sums up what a Stubegge move is all about, a bunch of gear on boats on a boat.

So our new place kicks ass. Here are some pics of it.

It hasn't rained in something like 70 days here.  Just about like what heaven aught to be except all the rivers don't have enough water in them to paddle. If there isn't water in the rivers just jump in the sea kayak and go for a little tour. It is is strange being here for almost a month and not touching moving water. I am going to go ahead and count the tides. There we go, I feel much better.

What else has happened? Oh, some Lexingtonians showed up Bethany and Neil.

After Bethany lost a fight with a Cuban plantain from Chicago (it put her down for 17 hours) they were quite pleasant to be around, that is until the Portlandians showed up. 

Have you ever been to Portland? Do you remember 1998? Me neither. I have it on good authority that its a lot like Portland, grunged out and stoned. So in Walk Massy and Rocio. As we would say in ol' Kentuck "bless their hearts". I digress.


It was great! I hadn't seen these two for something like two years and it was with Bethany here.

So we basically bored the shit out of Neil talking about our Canyon trip the whole time. All was not lost however as a spring break trip is shaping up for the Grande Rhonde. On a funny note, Lea was not here for the Portlandians to meet. so Rocio thinks she is a fabrication.  I dont think I would go to an imaginary sister in law's wedding unless I went completely bonkers. So the time of the great Rocio-Lea meeting  has yet to come, so it goes.

Neil and Bethany went camping in some super boring place called the Hoh Rain Forest. I know, I know walking, stupid. Than Lea got home from her Alaskan adventures and there was drinking and reminiscing with friends. Then they were gone, back to the somewhat south-land of horses, stacked rock walls, and bourbon, god speed. I miss y'all all ready.

Couple of days hanging out with a visit from my parents tossed in for fun and that brings us to now. At my desk with an IPA typing this blog.

Cheers!

Shout out to the Skypers, Jess, Luke, Sara, and Scott. Sup y'all?!
