Drove around to VT Route 11 and up a National Forest road, then off into the woods and marshes. Seera was standing on her hind legs for a few seconds, looking over the tall grass.

It's hard to get a clear picture of Teco...

Meadow at ultimate.

Purple flowers outside of the Jackson Gore Inn.

My disc in the grass.

I left work early and started my one-week vacation by driving down to the Albany airport to pick up Charlie. We stopped at a burger place along NY route 7 for dinner. The grand opening of the Okemo disc golf course was going on that evening and i was asked to be there (since i designed the course), but i didn't really want to be there and the fact that i was off picking up Charlie was a good excuse not to be.

Charlie and i drove to Hanover, NH for the White Mountain Mixed ultimate tournament. We played 4 games and lost them all, had pizza at the fields, then drove home.

Lost to BLU 15-6
Lost to Disaster 15-5
Lost to Retartar Sauce 15-11
Lost to No Grass For U 15-10

Drove back to Hanover for day 2 of the tournament. We played 3 games (in the losers bracket) and won them all, which was fun. Afterwards, Charlie and i made a spaghetti dinner and one carload of our teammates (Wheaton, Sarah, Sara, Jesse, and Eugene) came over to eat and hang out.

Beat UFX Nekud 13-6
Beat Spice 13-5
Beat Hellgate 13-4

Charlie, Sarah, Wheaton, Jake, and i drove over to Okemo to play a round of disc golf. I wanted to stick around and play ultimate in the evening, but Charlie was eager to get on the road, so we loaded up and drove down to Shunk.

We went through a torrential rainstorm coming into Binghamton, then stopped at a Wegman's supermarket to get some breads for the folks in Shunk. We also had some delicious sandwiches for dinner.

I had meant to get gas when we stopped for food, but i completely forgot and as i was about to drive by the exit for Towanda on US 220 i noticed that my gas guage was solidly on empty and the little fuel light was on. Eek! Pulled off, made it to a gas station, and put 20.1 gallons into what i thought was a 20 gallon tank.

Caught Seera mid-shake.

The sign over the geologic marker near the old Hogobone place.

Paddling around the lake. Seera in pose.

There was dew all over these multitudes of spiderwebs in the woods this morning. I never realized how many webs were all over the forest floor. I got some good pictures of this big spiderweb with beads of dew all over it. The third picture is a zoomed-in section of the second pic.

Not very many blueberries this year.

Happy Naima.

Headed back to VT in the morning. It was a nice drive because it was the first trip in a long time that i had a working CD player in my car for the entire trip.

Back to work.

Berries.

Out on the tracks.

Took the dogs out for a round of golf. That evening Jen and i went to see Inglorious Basterds. I ran into Sarah and Nora outside the theater as we were coming out and they were going in. Jen and i had pizza at Ramunto's, then sat in my driveway talking for about an hour. Went to bed late.
