I did have one golden moment whether the boys wanna give me credit for it or not. We were building a criple, and the one piece was only 2 inches long. When you used the nail gun, it split the wood right away. So they were stuck and I had an idea. We needed a 3.5 x 2 inch block, so I cut the wood so the grain would run the long end (3.5 in) and suggested we hand hammer because it's less pressure. Dennis initially said it wouldn't work, but I went and cut the piece anyways, and gave it to him, and what do you know...we had a cripple. Success!
After the build, I put new brakes on my bike and cleaned it up. Then I got sent on a chocolate donut scavenger hunt for my Sadie hawkens date...(I volunteered to be a 'guy' so that there would be even numbers). And also so that I wouldn't have to ask anyone :). It was awesome. I grabed a glass of milk and followed the clues to AK! Best ride buddy ever!!
Oh and Aunt Mary Faith said take more pictures, so this is our view -
I folded up all the tents also so that they wouldn't get wet tomorrow morning, making drying them useless.

Look at you, boss engineer with technical ingenuity. Guess Dad's recessive genes weren't completely overwhelmed by mom's fiery, (she gave birth to all the fire signs) dark, (relatively melanistic skin for caucasians) dominance. (the higher frequency of her phenotypic expression)
