Post work activities have me busy, but I will get some photo sets from the past weekend up sometime before Friday. Yup.

Meanwhile … I will be posting one or two for tasting purposes.

Back and Back and Stuff

So, I am back after having been gone for a few days. It was good trip but totally exhausting as I was on the go sightseeing and stuff the entire time. That plus the 13+ (round trip) hours in the Jeep makes for one tired Chas. Some photos will pop in in the next couple of days as I shot over 400 pictures in two days. One thing I did discover is that I want a bigger lens for the ole Digital Rebel XT. Where’s a “sugar daddy” when you need one?

I also discovered over the last few days that long-distance driving makes me a nervous wreck. It really does. Interstate driving is now like being on a race track … people whizzing by at 100 miles an hour … nobody observing any sort of safe following distance … everyone running right up on your bumper and passsing at the last second and then cutting right back in front of you. I am amazed that there just aren’t more accidents and major pile-ups on our interstate system. There doesn’t seem to be any room for us folks that observe a sane traveling speed and actually try and follow common sense rules of the road.

Anyhoo …

Tuesday Night Drinkin’

Trivia at the Brew Co.
Can you believe it? I got out of the house and actually associated with some fellow humans last night! The Livengood Boys and I went the Asheville Brew Co. for their trivia night. You play in teams and (obviously) the top three teams win prizes. We came in third which was good enough. Apparently the goal was to beat out the nerds that always win and then use their prize coupons to pay their bar tab and then tip the waitress badly. We at least acomplished that goal. The trivia wasn’t quite as hard as the Livengood Boys said it was gonna be … but that speed round which was all about current sports teams and their former locations/names kicked our asses good. If’n you so desire, you can see a few more pictures after the jump. Continue reading “Tuesday Night Drinkin’” →

Friday Post

Yeah. I have been in a super-duper, extra large funk for the past couple of weeks. You could probably tell that from the fact that I have posted nothing for this week and nothing of any signifigance for the past couple of weeks. If I could use one word to describe myself right now, it would be “self-contained.”

TGI-Fuckin’-F

You might have guessed from the lack of posts with any real content that it’s been a stressful and crappy week here in ye ole mountains. But, the weekend is here!

So …
My major case of sunburn from the hike last Saturday is finally starting to heal up and not hurt as much.

Plus …
I am less than two weeks away from a much needed road trip.

Alas …
Nobody loves me and now “The Owl Addict” is sold out. Boo-hoo.

And …
After the recent … er, news story … I am rethinking my whole dungeon idea for when the roomie moves out and I have a spare bedroom. Any suggestions are welcome.
