Getting ready for the camping trip this weekend; I have four blankets lined up and both sleeping bags packed; I was up making burritos (8 beautiful round specimens) and getting a tub of Guacamole together. The camping tub is packed; my bag is packed, and there are three gallons of clean water in the Scout good to go. Today at lunch I’m getting the Scout Jiffy-Lubed in prep for her adventure; other than that I think I’m ready. I have the unmistakeable feeling that I’m forgetting something-I figure that’s because usually I pack four billion pounds of food, but this time I only have the burritos and some snack foods. Hopefully the food other folks bring will be enough.

Jen is battling a cold and trying to recover for the trip; I hope she can come along but I’m terrified she will be miserable and sick if she does come. I’m crossing my fingers and praying to the great Sinus God of the sky to provide divine intervention on her behalf.

I found this interesting page on Google(the bestest search engine out there) about search trends for past weeks. Fascinating information, some of it. Wish I could remember what the command is to find what strings people enter to find this site. As of April (Dan still hasn’t fixed our webtracker to update my logs) it was scratchboard, ih scout II, scratchboard art and bill dugan.
