Annual river/fishing trip to Arkansas last week. Perfect weather the whole trip, which has basically never happened before. Too much fun! But I need to dry out - when you are starting to think that cookies and beer for breakfast is normal, it's time to back away :D.

Well... I have had a good run the last 8-9 weeks or so, that is for sure. I definitely won't be making it to 60 this year though. But no complaints here!
