The first part of the summer whizzed by! Seems like graduation was yesterday and now the 'rents are already on my case about packing stuff for college. you know how moms can get. Lists for everything. Dorms-minus-thirty-days-and-counting. I've exchanged emails and done some IM's with my new roommate. He seems like a cool guy. I'm more interested in animal sciences and he's leaning towards agronomy and soil conservation. But we're both from farming families and backgrounds so we have lots in common.

Not too much vacation this year. Jon and I went sailing with the other guys for four days right after we gratuated, but from then on it's been steady work for all of us. What with the price of gas where we live I'm grateful for a job. The field crops are starting to come in and that's always a busy time. I spent all week cutting the rowen in the pasturage fields.

Been doing some RC plane flights, Jon's working on this wicked cool model of some German warship, we're working on our trucks some. Jon bought a set of old lake pipes from a guy up county and we fit them on his S-10. Then there's all the usual tidewater summer stuff. Sailin' some, and crabbin', and fishin', and swimmin' and sailin' some more. Most nights after work somebody will have a cookout and we'll do some swimming.

So that's the update. Hope you dudes are having a great summer too.

Cool
