A very good weekend

So I had a very good weekend - sat morning - slept in, went to breakfast, reading the paper. Lila says "Sweetie, did you know about the maine state air show?" I didn't we read about it, and then went to it, and it was totally awesome. We arrived to see SOCOM jumping out of planes in formation and doing this crazy acrobatic stunt skydiving. Pretty ridiculous. This was followed by these biplanes that did various sorts of manuvers. One of the manuvers involved them speeding down the runway, only 20 or so feet from the ground, from opposite directions, towards each other. Right before they met each other a large truck, with two jet engines mounted on the back of it, roared past both planes, exceeding them in speed. According to the anouncer the truck was going over 300 mph.



Also participating at the air show were the Blue Angels. Let me tell you these guys are incredibly. When they fly in formation it looks as if they are one plane - there is zero margin for error at the distance they are flying at. Seriously incredible stuff.



So I realize no one has any idea what the house I live in looks like - so I took a picture of our living room common area which should give you some idea. It consists of two bedrooms (one is a GUEST room, that we also use for storing gear and such) Lila and I sleep in the other bedroom. We've also got a bath room, a mudroom, and a common room area. We've got a two burner hotplate, a fridge and a microwave. Some aquariums some tables, and we've got DSL. Lots of plants and artsy posters courtesy of lila.



On sunday lila and I did various things around Chewonki, then we went fishing in brunswick. Post fishing we went to the seadog and ordered the beer sampler. It was pretty cool. For two people its a good amount of beer too, and you get to try all sorts. Let me tell you, I don't like the blueberry ale. If you want beer that looks like pee and doesn't taste like beer get the blueberry. Ugh.
