So it was time for the yearly camping trip with the boys, and since Star’s mom had a birthday that week I was informed to stay for the whole week in Utah.  Truth be told I was worried I would be very bored about the 3rd day, but I did as I was told.

Camping with the boys was as usual an awesome time, we seem to be getting better and better at it, this year we all slept in tents and despite it being cold it was a good time, lots of beer and coyotes as usual, for breakfast we decided to go to an old diner that was shipped from some other state back east, I am not sure the back story but it was suppose to be some big deal, and I co-worker from the University of Utah setup their network and music selection system, and thus had a dish named after him, the “Turner Taco”  and so  recommended the place to us.  It was good food for sure and was fun in general.

After that I stayed with Ryan (aka lunchie, Lunchb0x) for the week and to be honest had a great time, his condo was comfortable and cozy, he took time off most of the week to keep me company and we played games, drank a lot and watched lots of Netflix on demand, think I made it through most of “coupling”  Also played lots of games with friends who would come over his house or we would go over there.  I really wasn’t bored at all! I also introduced and got lunchie addicted to Munchkin the card games.  *sigh*  good times.

With all that said, I was happy to leave on Sunday, I don’t like Utah, it’s very hot and very dry there, the people all seem so angry and closed off, not the normal smiles and greetings found in Eugene, and my god their is a lot of people in Utah!  And when you have nothing to do there isn’t an ocean to run to just to watch the waves and sea-lions.  I don’t ever want to move back, but I will keep encouraging lunchie and other friends to move to Oregon, I love this state and even more so now.

Thanks again to all my friends who made a real effort to come out and play, it was nice seeing you all!  I will be back in Nov and Dec!
