So I thought I would put up a quick post.

School has been keeping me busy most of the time, senior design is going to be a demeaning course, but the results will be satisfying (hopefully). This weekend should be a good one. Going out to Wilson to drive Dan around in the back of Puta for a XC R/C flight, then Sunday I will get back in the swing of Orienteering. We'll see how my running legs hold up.

The following weekend I'll head home to see everyone at a small family reunion, Spencer's clan is even coming!!! That Saturday is the annual COK Canoe-Orineteering meet so I plan on doing that, possibly with Lesley, a cousin. The following Monday is a proposal for Senior Design, and then the next Saturday is another team NORSA event in the Uwharrie mountains. Adam, Alan, Tim, and I are going to participate in the 2007 Gold Nugget Adventure Race; we will have to paddle, bike, run, orienteer, and think our way through an estimated 12 hour course. It should be a blast from teh past!

And then last, but the best is the fact that I am going out to CO for Fall break to spend a day and some with the folks, Spencer, Rose, and their kids. This should be a great time; I hope to take some of them up for a glide over Boulder. But even better yet I am going to see Alice for the first time since July. I can't believe it has been that long, but it has been so long since we last laid eyes on one another. Right now the plan is to meet up with her for breakfast/brunch on Friday and then the two of us will drive down to C Springs for the remainder of the weekend. I can't wait for fall break!!!

Also this weekend I'm rebuilding the wheels for my mountain bike (Giant Yukon). This is something I've been meaning to do since August, but time and desire only allows for it to happen now. After having ridden by new road bike for a couple weeks, it was a shock to get back on the mountain bike with crappy wheels. Either way I feel like an absurd SUV driver when I make the switch to the Giant; it's also taken some time to re-acclimate to the turning characteristics, but the track stand is still there. I love being able to pull up to a light and just sit there without having to dismount; the track stand is progressing on the Trek, but is a bit tougher.

Anyway I shall go now. Hopefully pictures will be abundant for the next few weekends.

Music and life are great.
