Boy's Weekend

In August we had a "Boys Weekend" at my place, which is short for "Holy Hanna Horner the Hammer's He-man Hellraise" (I didn't come up with the name). It was a lot of fun and I thank you all for coming.
The fishermen made if back safely from their trip. I think they're talking about the one that got away....


I have no idea...and don't ask...


We played horseshoes...


Bocci Ball....


Archery.....don't ask. I have no idea what he is doing

Salmon steaks on the barbeque. Cooking by flashlight


Kevin and John have the same poker-face


Liars Dice...good game


And the winner for the stupidst thing done over the weekend goes to Carlos. This is a shot of
him heading off to retreave the arrow he purposely shot into the woods. I now have an arrow somewhere in the forest.


I have no idea...some sort of new sign language...


Roland showing Kevin how to hold a fishing rod...yes Kevin...the guy who just came back from a week of deep sea fishing just south of Alaska...


My beer is empty.....


Searching for arrows is tiring.....


I tried to tell them there were no fish on the property, but they wouldn't listen...


And the winner of the Holy Hanna Horner the Hammer's He-man Hellaise was...........

US Bike Trip

On July 12th 9 of us headed to the US for a week long motorcycle trip. By the time I got home I had travelled over 4000 km. We went through New York, Pennsilvania, Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland. It was a great trip an the weather was perfect!!!

Lunch stop at the Dam Inn, where we had some dam food served by the dam waitress:)

On your marks....

This place was neat. I've never seen a radio wave telescope.

The radio telescope below is huge. It is 485 feet tall, 17 million pounds in weight with a 110 meter reflector (bigger than a football field). It is the worlds largest steerable radio telescope.

I just loved this sign....

Entering the Blue Ridge Parkway. Beautiful views...


Another shameless photo of myself.

Camping at Presquille

The weather this year was the worst I can remember in the 22 years we have been coming here, but bad weather can't spoil a good time when you are with great friends and family. Below are some pictures.
