Odds and Ends

I'm getting ready for my next two weekends away from home. Up first is of course the High Sierra Music Festival! Great advice from Paula:

-Nalgene bottles: There are no cans or bottles allowed in the main stage area (they're ok at all the other stages). We typically pour beers into a nalgene bottle and take it in. Do not buy an expensive one, and if you already have a nice one, do not use it. Your bottle will smell of beer, no matter how many times you wash it.

-Beer and Water: It can get kinda expensive if you buy all your drinks from the festival vendors. You can always pick some up in town, but keep in mind that you don't want to run out at 2am when everyone is in super party mode. (And don't forget to be prepared for Shot O' Clock).

I'm always prepared for Shot O'Clock, although my tolerance has gone way down as of late due in part to losing weight, drinking less and exercising more. (Side note- anyone think that I'm losing weight because I'm drinking less and exercising more? Hmmm...)

My quote to Paula last night about the festival: "I'm placing personal hygiene low priority for my Festival experience."

Although I am planning on working out, so I'll probably take at least one shower. So everyone in our camp "The Coop" hopes.

I had a fantastic run Monday night on the Iron Horse. I walked out the distance I wanted to run, and ran back home. Why hadn't I thought of this sooner? Coated my legs in Tiger Balm and went for it. Doing the same tonight.

Lunch is over, back to it!
