alabama hot pocket...?

Evrything's been really crazy the past week or so. Thing's are smoothing out and all, so that's good.

Well, last Fri/Sat Austin, Stephen, KP, and I went camping. Lot's of fun. Todd, David, and Seth went up the day before (Thurs) but got bored and came back. We didn't get up to Stella til like 5:00 or 6:00 or something like that. We pretty much just set up camp: put the tents up, rebuilt the fire pit, and got stuff in order. Then we pittled around shooting guns. We started with taking out weeds with the .22's. Actually, the first thing we did was pull out the 16 gauge and each pop off a round at the fallen tree's roots. I really love that gun. Anyway. That night we all got in my tent and chilled and talked. Saturday was rather slow. KP and Austin got up at something like 5:00; Kenneth to fish and Austin to watch the sun rise and pester cows. When the rest of us got up we decided it was time to make our dry-ice bombs. So we did. While waiting for the explosion, I pulled out the 16 and 12 and we proceeded to blast the crap out of a couple dead logs. There was a wasp nest on the roots of a fallen tree; only one wasp survived. It was great fun. The first dry ice bomb didn't go off after a while, so we shot it with a .22 to relieve the pressure and proceeded to make a new one. It was funny 'cause we sat down to eat after tossing it in the field, and while we were chattin and chowin, BOOM it goes off. We all jumped 'cause it sounded like someone shooting off a shotgun close to the camp. After a sec we realized what it was. The 16 or 12 ounce Mountain Dew bottle was reduced to shrapnel and the place where it rested was grassless and bare. That was cool. Later we did that again in the pond with a 20 ounce bottle. It was like a water mine going off and it sent a shockwave through the pond violent enough to 'cause the water to muddy up at the edge of the pond. Awesome cool stuff. But before that we shot skeet. That's alotta fun.

Well, I'm tired of typing right now. Maybe I'll find a cool picture or something to put up on here.

And evryone should try a white chocolate vanilla bean frappachino from Starbucks. mmm so good.

ok, you need to come catch a Cichlid from our tank. they're spiney fish and it hurts when you only have about 3x7 inches worth of container to hold them down in and they thrash. they can stick you and even lightly slice the insides of your palms. it hurts a bit, but they're so neat.

we got our blackmask lovebirds back in their cage and then...Andrew let a spice finch out by accident...we don't dare say a word to Chris. but there's not a chance in Mordor that we're getting him back down.
