Tug Fest 2004
On Friday Marv organized our first RC Regatta on the Pioneer campus pond. It was a ton of fun. First we raced the little boats, then a few of us got to race the big boats. Awesome.
After work, Kari and I drove to my parent's house for Tug Fest, which is a tug-o-war competition across the Mississippi River between Iowa and Illinois. It was fun. Friday night, Rich, Mitch, Kari and I watched fireworks from my dad's little "beach." Then we did a lot of walking around down town. It's weird to run into my H.S. friends.
Saturday we hung out on my dad's newly built patio/fish pond. Then Kari and I went down to watch the Tugs. Ben tugged this year, which was awesome. I also saw my old buddy Josh tug.
It's so funny how serious the fest is. Kari was in awe by the whole thing. Especially things like this, this, this, and people screaming, "PULL! PULL! PULL! PULL!" Haha, I LOVE IT!
Anyway, there are 11 Tugs in the fest... we left after we were beating Iowa 6-0, haha. Iowa won 1 out of 11... lamers ;)
I missed my 5 year Riverdale High School class reunion. I didn't even hear about it until last week, ha. I sorta wanted to go and see what everyone was up to... but everyone I'd already ran into was the same, still living at home, and/or jobless. It sucks and I feel bad. It would have been lame to be like, "oh that sucks, I landed a really dope job where I race boats n stuff."
So yeah, I just got back from an Iowa Cubs game which was really really boring, but the weekend was oh so fun.
