just a sponge...

wore the pants...put on the sunblock and insect repellent...and for what?!?

right after we got up to the Caribou area, it started clouding over. slathered the sunblock (since UV rays are worse when it's overcast) and got out the raincoat, knowing it would be a long day. well, as soon as we made it to the center of the meadow, there was a big flash and a massive boom - almost instantaneous. tell me, how many expletives escape your mouth when you're stuck in a meadow...with a Marshalltown trowel in one hand...metal flags in the other...and the freakin' car is at least 200 yards away? i usually settle for a few lungfuls of 'fuckfuckfuck' while i hightail my ass to the car. that seems to work...

today was a constant drizzle that showered us with a spray similar to the spot-free rinse when you're at the car wash. i hear that it didn't rain one drop in either Denver or Boulder. that's because the rain decided to park its happy ass above two human sponges who were busily locating old fire pits and railroad platforms...bleh. i shouldn't have used sunblock...especially when some 3M waterproofing would have been more appropriate! is that good for six hours? of idiocy?

argh, too tired to finish. will definitely pick it up tomorrow...as if you care :)
