Caver
Here’s LRN1, in a particularly dirty state. Explanation below. Great Art courtesy of one of his companions and part of my famous Guatemala series.
As promised, I’m not mentioning anything about how long it’s been since I last posted. Not a word.
Had a decent weekend. Friday afternoon, we went with our friends Don and Lynn – with whom we’re cruising next week – out to a place called Woodward Reservoir to try out their kayaks. We told them we’re kayaking in Hawaii and that we’ve never done that before, so they invited us to go get some experience. It’s easy, of course. Although perhaps just a bit tiring. I expect to have somewhat sore shoulders and arms after doing it for a couple of hours. Don and Lynn also brought their waverunner, which I availed myself of a few times, and their motorized kayak, which LRN4 and I both tried out. That thing is fun! It’s quiet, smooth, and relatively fast. You control the motor with a potentiometer (I used full forward and then a bit of reverse as I beached it when I was done) and steer it with aircraft-like rudder pedals. Easy and great fun. I want one!
Saturday and Sunday we watched general conference, which was very nice. I’m really curious to know what caused President Monson to arrive halfway through the first session. Must have been quite pressing, whatever it was. We washed all three cars between sessions, and that’s pretty much the sum total of what we got accomplished on the weekend. Sunday morning, our friends Doug and Connie came over for breakfast and conference, which was nice.
Enjoyed LRN1’s weekly letter today. He spent part of his preparation day exploring a nearby cave. Hope that was a safe and approved activity, incidentally. Especially the safe part. Anyway, he sent us the above picture of the muddy aftermath.
I’ll leave my Loyal Readers with this shocking food violence news: ice cream feud!
See you tomorrow.

Apparently it isn’t safe in New Zealand either! It seems unreasonable to me to expect a business to give you their product for free and even more unreasonable to beat them if they don’t!
