Shew. Hibernating until it's cooler out.

Gosh dang it's hot out.  Too hot for writing.  Have some pictures instead.

System Administrator's Day isn't until next week.  I got gifts early.  Pink noise canceling hearing protection!

And a new multitool!

And burgers with my beloved

My husband has a big one. I mean HUGE.

I'm talking about his tent.  You pervert.

In no particular order:

My lounging in the tent outfit - the bottom half, anyway

The view from said (enormous) tent

My hot pink trail runners tucked away in one corner of cavernous tent

JD and Beauty, about to embark on their first backpacking trip.  My little blue backpack.  JD's enormous black backpack.

Snake!  JD found a very long branch and tossed it safely into the woods after it refused to move.  After that, I walked in front so the dog would not be the first to greet any other snakes.  Then we didn't see another snake.

JD adjusting the many straps of his enormous backpack.

Day 2, it rained and so I took no pictures.

We went to Six Flags and it was good

We went to Six Flags America today.  I am not sure yet if I am sunburnt.  First I have to remove my clown makeup, then I'll be able to see my skin.

The best ride in the whole park - the Flying Carousel

 The Flying Carousel is the only ride I wanted to go back to.  We rode it twice.  I could have stayed on it all day.  We rode a couple of other things - a spinny raft water ride, some spine-destroying roller coaster - but the Flying Carousel was the best.  I am a simple woman with simple amusement park needs.

JD, upside down, on a ride I had no desire to try

I am actually too short for the funhouse mirrors to make much difference

See?  Different mirror.  I look the same.

Good god that's a handsome man

I am oddly formally dressed for somebody riding on a black panther

Um, just so you know, the saddle kind of puts you right up against the pole.  I wasn't trying to get personal with it.

PS - Mom?

I'm going hiking.  Don't expect a post for a day or two.
