Good times

Since being back in boulder...

I have mysteriously obtained a Protected Wetlands Area sign

Played poker with 5 guys on a porch until 5 in the morning. Twice.

Had both my neighbors show up in their underwear, when apparently she locked them both out. I cooked them pancakes.

Skateboarding, I tried to ditch a 5-0 grind on a ledge only to end up flying off my board and doing a flip, landing 5 feet down on my back. Good karma/bad karma?

Walked outside the door to my carport to find my other neighbors and some friends barbecuing in my parking spot, which turned into a 4 hour conversation on photography while eating paella.

Walked directly under a lightning storm dropping bolts of lightning in every direction around me. My hair had actually started to stand up.

Had shots of Jack Daniels shot at me from a water ball gun. That's right, it shoots balls of water.. or other substances.

Skated the famous X-Games park in Golden. Four hours later I couldn't stand without shaking and couldn't sit without getting leg cramps.

Stood in a pouring rainstorm while it was 90 degrees out.

Went offroading with my friend Travis, who has a Cherokee with 35 in. tires, huge lift, front and rear locking differential. One of the highlights was when he climbed a 4 foot rock on his front left tire, until both his front right and back left tires were teeter-tottering.

Went skinny dipping in Boulder Creek.

Got stuck in the mud with about 20 other people in trucks on the 4th of July. The cancelled fireworks show was replaced by a lightning storm. I prefer lightning to fireworks anyway.

It's only been a few weeks.. and they say Boulder is boring during the summer. I'm going to try to document all the little things that happens in life, they seem to be the most easy to forget.
