I have been craving Fruity Pebbles for a few weeks now and decided it was time to give into those cravings after week two of totally kicking ass at the gym.
Today to top off my week of kicking ass, I ran 2 full miles non stop which is a first for me, and to make me feel even better, I could have ran another 1/2 mile. After that I did 500 situps which I have done before, but my normal is 400.
All while thinking how much I was looking forward to a good BBQ dinner of chicken breast and fresh corn on the cob, and after that some good vodka and Fruity Pebbles as I watch the ‘Wings win their 12th cup on the 12th…
Can you believe the fucking store was completly out of Fruity Pebbles…
Fuckingdamnshitfuckshitcockfuckingfuckfuck!!!!!!!!!
And no, I am still not over it.

Some of you may know it as Redwoods National Park, but geeks will know it as Endor. We left Monday morning around 715 am and made really good time, We was driving down town Grants Pass when the F15’s did a flyover for Memorial Day so we timed that perfectly, but of course had no time to get a camera since it happen so fast.
Driving though Jedediah Smith State Park was fun, we stopped at a rest stop and ran into a family reunion (yeah, at a rest stop) which turned out to be a bunch of bible thumpers and we even had a 10 woman prayer circle in front of our Jeep as we was leaving. They was all in line for lunch (had to be 50+) and I was getting whiffs of the toilets they was next to, so I’m sure god must have told them that is where he wanted them to eat just so he could get a good laugh since he is a sick and sadistic fucker.
We stopped in Crescent City and got some Starbucks which was much needed and wanted and made numerous stops all the way down to our camp site which was called Elk Prairie and it lived up to the name, we saw 12 or so elk the minute we got there. We bought some really expensive firewood and made camp.
Tuesday we drove down to Orick, CA which was smaller than I expected and since Google maps was fucked, they did not have the Starbucks it said they had (which I just edited BTW on Google map) the marker was 40+ miles too far south… fuckers.
We also took a hike down to the Tall Tree Grove which was really cool to see trees that fucking big. What ticked us off was we wanted to get a toy Ewok to have some pictures with but of course we forgot it. I also dropped my shitty telephoto lens, so now it’s even shittyier and won’t work, so at least I have a legit reason to replace it other than “I want a better one†which was a good enough reason anyway.
Wednesday we wanted to drive to Cannon Beach if not all the way home via 101, we made a few stops and was just blown away by the views, but after 6 hours of driving in shitty traffic at times, we realized Newport was as far as we wanted to go and we grabbed a room next to the aquarium and just chilled out for the night.
Thursday we visited the Newport aquarium and we both really liked it, it wasn’t as packed as it could have been, but the kids screaming made up for it, but still it’s a very nice aquarium. Afterwards we took 20 to 34 to I5 and got home around 2 pm.
Pics are ok, my camera skills are ok at best and my lenses are cheap, but from what I’ve seen on video I like what I see.
I am not in the mood to write as I thought I was, so this is the end…

Not too much to say, we slept in as we usually do on weekends, well I should say we slept in as much as we can with 3 cats and neighbors who think its normal to talk/yell outside at 6:00 am which Im sure is ok since no one ever sleeps past 5:30 am right? Anyway its nice to have a iPhone so we can stay in bed and surf the net as we normally do when we get out of bed, so I feel like I am multi tasking.
Today we are just doing our normal Sunday routine, we hit Starbucks and grabbed some much needed caffeine and breakfast sandwich’s that are way over priced but still more convenient than making something on our own.
I really like where we live, but we really need a diner within walking distance, some place that we can get a decent breakfast and caffeine without having to drive to get it. If we ever move into/closer to Portland this would be the main reason, we both love the idea of walking a few blocks to get a bite to eat and maybe, dare I say, socialize with the commoners.
Right now we are just watching our Sunday talk shows (“Meet the Press” and “This Week”) as we surf the internets of tubes.
We made yet another trip to REI Friday night and spent yet more $ getting yet more crap for camping/hiking which we will be making our first trip in 2 weeks to the Redwoods National Park in the Northern California coast.
We get to go back to REI this week since they screwed up our bill and gave us the 20% discount on the cheap item and not the expensive item like they was suppose to do, and I need to get a $8 adapter that I read online that I didn’t need, but actually do need, so that is another 20-30 min drive there and back that I am looking forward to.
We leave here on a Monday and either will come back on Wednesday or Friday, all depending on the weather and the mood. We will stay 2 nights in California and the idea is to drive back to Portland via the 101 which I am told is the greatest drive ever.
Our main reason to go camping is to celebrate what will be our 12th anniversary but it will be 6 days early since, back in 1997 we didnt think about the fact that our wedding date is on a holiday weekend which hindsite is the worse thing ever, you can never go anywhere without a million people all over, so this year we are going after the holiday on a Monday so hopefully everyone will be back to work.
Last year we drove to Seaside and Cannon Beach and we drove to Astoria and back to Portland via the Washington side of the Columbia river, this year we will drive the Oregon side of the Columbia. Unless of course the weather hates us and/or we want to get home sooner than later, we are pretty much just taking this as we go.
Today we will do another test run with the tent and go over our gear once again to make sure we have everything we need or think we need.
The kittens will be staying home for at least 2 days on their own and as much as 4 days which will be the longest amount of time of being alone ever for them. Alexis has been left (with Reggie) as long as a week on their own and she didn’t really seem to care too much. The wonder twins will be a different story since they are so incredibly spoiled and demanding.
Yesterday we planted yet more plants and cleaned up the backyard some more but of course we have 1 large yard waste bin that is completely full so it will be at least another week before we can finish getting rid of that huge pile of yard waste that has been rotting back there for at least 5 years since the owner didn’t seem to want to improve anything she has.
