So much to post, yet so lacking in a decent PC to post them with...
Well, it's official now. Jeff and I are back to a long distance relationship, as work and family needs brought him back to PA. We did it before, and I guess we'll do it again. Wasnt easy then, wont be much easier now. We'll make it though. Even our fortune cookies at lunchtime today attested to that fact.
While in PA this weekend, me, Jeff and our buddy Dean (not to be confused with Buddy Dean) piled into the Mini on Saturday and scooted up to The Woods campground for the day to check the place out. Jeff's friends were there for the weekend and invited us out to unwind and see how the place is set up. Niiiiice. With Hillside becoming an increasing nightmare to get reservations for, and with so many of the prime spots already taken even before the registration even begins, it's looking like it's time to find new digs. Dont get me wrong, I enjoy Hillside and all the fun times we have there. I am just sick of being told that there is no 'special' treatment given to the campers there (except for the permanent sites, which is understandable). Wearing out the redial button on the telephones in the beginning of March for days to try and get through for registration has gotten old. You'd think that Jeff, after his 15 years of regular business there and our bringing extras onto our sites would amount to something, but it doesnt. And to top it off, some who have gone to The Woods after being longtime Hillside campers have found out they are no longer welcome at Hillside once their trip to the other place was made known.
Next year should be interesting, to say the least.
The Woods has new accomodations, ample, modern facilities and a lot more to offer. I give the place two tentpoles up.
I've been buried with projects, hence not being able to tend to the PCs. As long as the old server remains working and this crummy laptop holds out, I'll be trying to keep up with my friend's posts when I can. I need to spend about five grand on new doors for the house (plus one for the garage). Installing these will tear up a weekend or two, plus I need to get clamboring around in the trees with my chainsaws among other things to get the yard in shape.
Whoever came up with the phrase "Time Is Money" should realize that the two are diametrically opposite at least as far as I'm concerned. When I had lots of time on my hands during my injuries, I had no money. Now that the money is not an issue, time is nowhere to be found.
In better news, Jeff and I finally gave each other committment rings a couple weeks ago after nearly 5 years together. It feels good seeing that band on my finger.
Much, much more to come...
