Freeman's Journey

So it appears I can blog via Opera on my phone, though in a somewhat limited fashion at this moment.

My dear Watson and I went on an amazing journey, starting last Sunday. To celebrate her last day of retail Hell, we had decided to go camping. What was originally to be a simple trip out into familiar territory became a 3 day trek as freemen, going wherever our whims took us and taking what travel brought us. We went to Bear Mountain, but the trail was closed so we slept in the car. It rained anyway.

The next day Watson awoke bright eyed while I was tough to start. Turns out it was barely 6am at the time. We decided against mountain hiking, perhaps influenced by our late night and early start, and headed out for coffee and a hot breakfast.

On the way we encountered a Revolutionary War battle site, something dearest enjoys very much, so we went there. We met a very friendly turkey while enjoying the view of the Hudson. The gas prices were horrible, so we stopped in Jersey to make someone fill up the tank. (Ha ha ha.) How they mandate by law attendants fill the tanks while being 30c cheaper I do not know.

We decided on another whim to try camping again, and went to Beaver Lake (or something like that). The camp was so froufrou! There was a well maintained outhouse near our site with plumbing and showers! Also, we got to park the car at our campsite! A beautiful lake full of lifeguards and sandy beaches awaited us, and then we cooked hotdogs on a fire pit with a grill. I've got to practice starting fires. Wet wood is horribly difficult. We slept so well that night.

This adventure gave us so much more than memories. It gave us confidence, experience, and most importantly, bonding. We worked as a team. We spoke from our hearts. We never got tired of each other. I learned we should bring lighter fluid and mouthwash.

I'm a little sick from a jaw infection caused by my wisdom tooth. Oh, and Frankenputer (my computer made of many parts) is dead, hence my need to post via mobile. Fried hard drive. Do motherboards sometimes fry HDs? This is number 3. There will not be any high quality art updates at this moment. Apologies. At least I didn't lose anything this time. I may post cell pictures if I can figure out how.
