Another Weekend Down

Well I survived another weekend. How come Saturday and Sunday go so much faster than Monday and Tuesday?

Friday was marked by a trip to my local dive shop (LDS). I ran up to finally purchase a pony bottle that would be able to safely get up from the deeper dives that we have planned for this summer including the Straits, and Alpena. So, I splunked down 100 dollars for a deposit on each of the two charters. Then I paid up for my pony, a new international K valve and all the materials necessary for a new sling. Before I knew it my bill had quickly grown.The strange part is I spent all that money, and didnt end up taking anything tangible home with me.
After the fun at my LDS, I went to hang out with a friend in Lansing. It was nothing major, but it was great to catch up with a good friend. We watched the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. I think my favorite part was the whales or the mountain. I found it quite amazing what could be done with drapes and projectors.

So Saturday morning, I woke up and regrettably had to head home. I really enjoyed hanging out and just shooting the breeze with my buddy. Its not often that I just get to hang out and relax :D. I made the long drive back to the Apt, of course using my GPS for nav. My GPS froze again and I didnt realize for like 30 miles, luckily I noticed .5 miles before my turn. So I made it back to the apt, got all my dirty laundry and took a shower then headed back to Romeo.

Romeo is always pretty uneventful. Thats not a bad thing though. Life just seems to be slower and calmer there. Riley is always ecstatic to see me coming home and visiting with the family is also great. As usual, we had a big ol' Sunday dinner. I always regret having to head home. Its getting to the point where its just a necessary evil, and the longer you delay it the worse it is.

Well the only other big e event of the weekend was my sister getting sick. I have a pretty decent immune system. That being said, I am long due for a cold or something. I think the last time I had anything was more than 6 months ago. So, keep your fingers crossed for me.

On that note, I am going to head to bed which officially marks the end of another weekend. Only a dozen more until I start to see signs of spring. Well, another week of work starts early tomorrow. I need to get to bed to be at my best.
