Additional Floating pics..

And here are some pics from our float of the yellowstone on Friday. The dogs loved being on the water and Moose ended up swimming so much that he had cold tail again. It didn't stop him from attending the Public Pool Closing last night, where they allow all the neighborhood dogs to come for a swim. We couldn't get him out of the pool!

August Rush

August was packed full of small trips, visits from the family, and a little field work.

My brother Travis and his family paid us a visit earlier this month and he gladly reminded us that we are not ready for kids yet. After his visit I went back into the field for a few days (see video here), bummed around a little, and then went on a couple of short trips with the wife and dogs. We visited a ghost town, went camping and hiking, and introduced Molly to Lewis and Clark Caverns. No more fun cause my last semester starts tomorrow. I'll let everyone know how Global Tectonics and Geophysics pans out.

Capin' the Cod

Molly and I just spent a week lounging around Cape Cod with the Bennett Family. I've never been and would now suggest it to everyone. We whale watched, swam in the Atlantic, visited a vineyard, a lighthouse, and many restaurants. I also managed to squeeze in a seminar concerning the erosion of the beaches on the Cape (I was the only member of my party to attend). We also spenta few nights in Provincetown where I found a marine supply store that sells steel ball-bearings by the handful. I got 21 for $4 and a Belgian army mechanics jacket for $5. What a steal.

Wine tasting at Truro Vineyard. Wine is still disgusting.

Why so serious?
