meet Chip/Nate's dude day/bbq

it's the stupid stuff that gets you hurt and the little stuff that hurts the worst

only my second time this year. I am seriously slacking on my beach time this summer



home style cooking

extended dog duty in West Chester while Brian and Allison were on some much needed vaca

Mom got a new pup. meet Chip












Nate's moving to Texas in a few so obviously a hot and sweaty Dude's Day was in order. 56 Noble til death


the Pushkar men

the Ms'ssises

tent city

I spy Eek Eek




after a session at Pops a bbq was in order



quite the spread

Rich had never seen the world's greatest Freakout

dog walk on the mountain/various big lakes

Brian and I were both "back home" so a hike around Bear Creek with the hounds was in order

Hawkeye and Brian on point. Mazzy and me bringing up the rear

detour


oh shit!


since the 'Squatch is basically vertical, I didn't want to get too close to the edge.


pit stop


we came out on the trail that we pretty much stay on all winter long. it has all the fun stuff to get worked on

notice Brian's favorite tree hip on the left and the "cliff" that always looks a lot more fun and exciting from the lift than when you actually ride off of it. where's the mailbox?

I told Mazzy I jibbed that piece so she had to get hers as well

then we found the graveyard. damn, where was this piece when we were trying to learn inverts?

it's obviously mobile. we'll have to haul it out next season




this kinda reminds me of the scene where Lance tosses the tail fin off the caddy. "Later Dog." movie?

met up with Jim for a quick session at the Tractor pad

turned into a slappy session

leave your mark kids

Blue Marsh Lake for some urban swimming!


pheasant


dashboard dining and storm watching at the original big lake, Lake Ontelaunee




double order of veggie burgers for me. I was starving

then it was off to Cedar Lake in New Jersey. this is where Claire's parents (of new friends, Jeremy and Claire live. peep Jeremy and Claire's website at http://www.day19.com/v6/ . they were beyond nice and super accommodating hosts. cheers to the Weiss's!




George going for the catch of the day

then it was over to Lake Hopatcong (I think) for a mortgage burning party/bbq at Jeremy's dad's lakehouse

didn't take long for the action to move to the dock. here is Karaoke Ryan testing out the newest configuration of immproperly used floatation devices

Jeremy



time to switch up the technique



everybody was out getting theirs on the dock



Crocodile Mile?






yeah, I think I wanna live on a lake

Eli found the hose which meant he'd be occupied for the next 4 hours


dead soldiers. for some reason I think Gassler and Lowdown would have enjoyed themselves at this party


uh oh, hairspray and a spud...you know what time it is




Eli had the honors of the first deployment


Bob gets a physics lesson




Pat was up next



car ferry back to the mainland at the end of a stellar day


fire pit back at Cedar Lake


what's bitin'?



I believe this is my first vertical natural occuring 3

long overdue



thanks again to the the Weiss's. check out http://www.day19.com/v6/
