Young Blood

While cruisin' up to the Ottawa Rapids in my Cruz, I was rawkin to SiriusXM Radio's BPM station. And I couldn't get enough of this tune:

I came home and downloaded all of the Naked and Famous tunes (plus another remix) which stand well on their own. (Hey, you never know! Sometimes the remixes are way better!) Awesome tunes to play while cookin' up a storm or chilling on the patio at home.

I have blisters on my hand from clutching too tight to my golf clubs Friday and the centre of my back is still on fire from paddling my ass off Saturday - so wonderful! These little aches are reminders of big memories. Now my legs are sore from stair climbing and one-leg presses at the gym. Ahhh ... the feeling of being alive!!

Rafting was an excellent adventure! I had a super cool guide and the other folks in my raft were really easy going and fun to joke around with. The older guys were a little lazy, I have to admit. Me and my girl T were doing far better on the rowing - lean forward/pull back! A couple weeks prior I was focusing on the rowing machine at the gym and I think it paid off. The DOMS would likely be a lot worse if I hadn't prepared my body for it beforehand.

 

But nothing could prepare me for the humongous bloated dead moose we saw. We couldn't tell if it was a horse or not, but the antlers were a give away. There were loads of bugs and birds around. And in one spot the size of my fist, the skin had been ripped off, so you could see the yellowy mush inside. Then our guide told us about the time she stepped in a dead cow while she was rafting in Ecuador. Oh man, so gross.

 

I can't wait to go rafting again!!
