July 4 Long Weekend in West Virginia

[bjarvis]

We spent an extended weekend at the trailer, July 4 through 8. This was the first time in many months where I had nothing to do but rest & relax for such an extended period.

While my batteries aren't fully recharged currently --I didn't sleep well last night-- I'm in better shape than in any point in the past few months. I need more vacations like this.

it looks like you got just what you needed....i would love to have a place to escape too...damn the internet. leave it all behind.

[allanh.livejournal.com]

Where are the NOT safe for work pictures, dammit?!

[bjarvis.livejournal.com]

I just wish we had more vacation time to enjoy it. And it's only affordable because we split the costs with jearbear65oh & David. *sigh*

[bjarvis.livejournal.com]

Alas, they are not for me to reveal as I'm not in any of them. :-)

[allanh.livejournal.com]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

[excessor.livejournal.com]

Those are nice pictures. I'm glad you all got a chance to relax.

I hadn't realized that Dave & Jerry would be there too. Imagine my surprise to see two photos of jerbear65oh in neither of which is he talking. Is that a record? :-)

You're all just adorable.

[excessor.livejournal.com]

That just means he was the photographer / lube boy.

[bjarvis.livejournal.com]

Well, someone had to record the proceedings for posterity.

And bear the repeated verbal onslaught of "Get that goddamn electronic flash out of my face!"

Meant with love, I'm sure.

[bjarvis.livejournal.com]

Is that a record? :-)

Yes. :-)

[paigemom.livejournal.com]

:snicker:

[kent4str.livejournal.com]

No, it's a bloody fucking miracle!

But he was very sweet and understanding about us needing a quiet weekend, and we still love him.

we want NSFW pix! we want NSFW pix!

[trawnapanda.livejournal.com]

Alas, they are not for me to reveal as I'm not in any of them.

well can you get permission and then post?

I'm at work, but it's safe anyway. go on, g'head. I'm sure I speak for legions when I plead for NSFW pix. I'm every so anxious to see SOMEone's -er- posterity as recorded.

[jss]

You forgot "Fluffer."

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[jearbear65oh.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking of a word....

Re: hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

(raising hand) Oh! Oh! I know what it is! Pick me! Pick me! :-)
