Weddings, X-Games, and Radios

John & Brenda were married last Saturday; David was the best man and I performed the ceremony. BBQ followed the ceremony in the back yard. The best of all was that the weather held.

Unlike for X-Games, which was RAIN, RAIN, RAIN. I got "easy" duty. I manned one of the stations from 9 pm to 7 am. The kids used GPS coordinates to find each location and performed some task - Mountain Biking, Swimming, team building activities, or in the case of the station I was assigned to, identify what was wrong with the model camp site. We had visitors at 10 pm, midnight, 1am 3am and 6am checking out the "model" camp site - the rest of the time we "slept" in the Festiva. The most obvious problem was the tarp pitched over the fire pit; the least obvious problem was silicon gasket compound in the first aid kit. The kids were creative in finding things wrong - and came up with answers that weren't on the answer sheet, such as the camp doesn't have a latrine, and there's only one tent / sleeping bag, so the buddy system is not being observed.

And for the radio - I was on my way to the wedding and found an audio store that had the antenna conversion cable for a 2003 PT Cruiser. The radio is now fully installed.

Mileage: Rehersal & Wedding: 24 mi; Church trips: 8/5 welfare check; 8/6 Mutual; 8/7 Bpric Trng; 8/10 Sun, 8/13 Bpric Mtg (8.5 X 5 = 42.5); Temple 8/12 76 mi; 8/15-16 X-Games: 156 mi. Total Aug to date: 389.5.
