That ice cold beer looked so good after George and Bobby destroyed me on that 4 hour hike which,by the way,was remarkably lacking in downhill respites. You know I'm exhausted when Pat can't make me laugh.

Today it was nothing but electrolyted water,2 salads and 20 minutes on the stationary bike. They taught me a valuable lesson for which I'm grateful.

You missed a great 4 days David and you do need to have that BBQ cook-off with Pat and Bart. Get in on the next one,if possible.
