A short, text-based wrap-up of the past few days, since I am too tired to edit pictures and upload them to my overloaded webspace. I should make use of my personal domains once I set up a hosting plan. I keep putting that off.

Hillside this past weekend was great. New truck hauled the trailer effortlessly, we got set up in no time and enjoyed some uncharacteristically rain-free good weather. We once again played last-trip-of-the-season hosts to [livejournal.com profile] buffalobear and his sexy, enigmatic partner "The Pork". We also had the good fortune to bring along our good friend Doug along as well, and found out it was his birthday that weekend as well. Lots of good food was cooked and had by our little group, we were able to catch up with some people we had not seen in a while, missed out on meeting one LJer ([livejournal.com profile] angry_alan and his partner) but socialized with [livejournal.com profile] rockybear02 and his partner. Repeatedly attacked [livejournal.com profile] buffalobear with the Nippleizer 9000 much to his delight. Did not roam the campgrounds like we normally do since I was still wobbling around on my bad ankle, but the relaxing weekend did me some good in that respect. Kodi had a great time as well, especially when we took him to the creek again for some romping in the water. He's got a whole lot better at traveling, seemingly gone are the days when he'd toss his cookies in the car even on short trips. The new truck thanks him.

This weekend is going to be another one of traveling, on Saturday, me, Jeff, his mom and one nephew are heading up to a Penn State football game. Jeff is a huge PSU fan, and the opportunity arose to get tix and we jumped on them. Sunday will find us and a bunch of friends hanging out at Knoebels Amusement Park. It's been a while since I've been there. Anyone else game? I am slacking as far as getting my coaster fixes. Maybe I can make it to Cedar Point this year as well. Halloweekends, anyone?

Knoebels is a holdout from a forgotten era, when an amusement park was a simple walk-in affair, where you bought your food and rides as you wanted them, unlike the megaparks that charge an arm and a leg to get in. It's old-fashioned, but that's the charm. Despite being low key, there are lots of awesome rides to be had. I wish there was more like these.

I will write about the upcoming weekend as well. I'll try to take pictures too.

Welcome to my blog, btw!
