I. The wedding and reception were lots of fun! Definitely an outlier on the wedding enjoy-o-meter scatter graph.

II. During various wedding-related activities, hung out a bit with my Brother-in-law’s girlfriend. Too bad she lives out in New York, so interaction is limited to potential Facebooking. We exchanged phone numbers before she left, and promised to plan some kind of outing to Traverse City for some tea-housing, and perhaps a midnight covert gate-installation op.

III. Saw said Brother-in-law off to New York. They are driving a rented Ford Explorer cross-country with the remains of his worldly possessions. He’s been quasi-living there for a couple of weeks already. Apparently the job transfer went smoothly, and his apartment in Brooklyn is very nice.

IV. Spent much of Sunday setting up tents. The inventory: Two 6-person tents, one newish and complete, one old without poles. Two 2-person tents, one newish without poles, and one old and complete. I am very proud of myself for being able to pack them all in their original packaging.

I’d like to take the newer two-person tent, since it’s very light and seems to be of good quality, but I’ll either need to find the poles for it (still a possibility), or order new ones from the company. The only difficulty is that it is out of production, and thus I’m having a fail of internet wrt finding pole dimension info. I have an email out to the company, asking what poles go with it. We’ll see if their customer support doesn’t suck.

V. Called my Dad on Sunday night to wish him Happy Fathers’ Day. Got through after a couple of tries. We talked about his new apartment (to be delivered soonish?), the economy (bad), what he did that day (not much).

VI. Ride talked about his yard work this morning.

VII. Looks like it’ll be a beautiful sunny day here.
