Gotta kill the pain

Filed under: — By bill @ 7:04 pm

The rain continues with another ripping storm hitting the campground last night and punishing all the poor bastards camping in tents as we laughed at their misfortune. Trailer parks are cruel places. It was raining harder than a cow pissing on a flat rock and the winds were scattering tents and tree branches everywhere. A leaky trailer is pretty luxurious in comparison with tent camping, if you can believe it. This morning, I went out for a 10k run and just beat the first thunderstorm back to the campground at 8:30am. Needless to say the day did not look good for flying. After a few meeting they canceled the day without making us go up the hill. Between the US and Canadian teams, the entire stock of Jonny Walker Red has been wiped out in Manila, and a car had to be sent to the next town for resupply. I hope new supplies hold till the end of the meet. My liver needs a rest day

    I feel bad for you guys. Reminds me of Pinzgau. Red Bull and Vodka every night for 2 weeks.
