• Yeeeee-ha!

  

  Last weekend I went to Cedar City to 1) accompany Aly on her business weekend 2) visit the in-laws.  It was very fun!  Carl had his first road trip.  He’s up to 1100+ miles!  What growing, young boy.
  
  

  There were two big events in Cedar this weekend.  First, there was a folk/country/blues/bluegrass (~CBGB) music festival.  There were pretty good bands, but I wished there was more bluegrass.  My favorite part was the Gyros, really good and chicken, not lamb.

  

  The other big event was the Rodeo.  It featured the #1 bull in the world.

  

  It was sponsered by a former employer, and thus Aly and her younger brothers helped out.  the funniest thing about the Rodeo was how ‘patriotic’ they tried to be.  Over and over the said how this was ‘America’s best sport’ and “g-d bless America,’ and yet they talked over the song “g-d bless America” and had a flag up in the dark.  I hate fake patriotism.

  

  All in all, it was a great weekend.  Everyone had lots of fun, and even though tthis was a business trip for Aly, we still had lots of great time together.

  This week, I’m working hard on my new well project.  I leave tomorrow morning for a two-day reconnasaince trip.  Next thursady, the fifth, I leave for the start of the extensive drilling project.  I will be gone for at least 10 days (including the Warped Tour…. Damn!), back for a few, then out again.  This will happen again and again until about September at the least.  I’ll try to share as many field pics as I can!
