Bolder Boulder
Passed through Boulder, CO back in March. Was there for a wilderness first aid and other things class. Got to see the folks and a cousin there, too. It was awesome. We did some drills and wrapped it up with yet another day of survival training. I attended this class a few years ago and my Red Cross stuff expired so, time to go back.
The first day of class I made the mistake of going for a drink of water in the afternoon after a day of training. Here's the before and after on what we learned that day:
It wasn't all serious though. I do love to shop. Here I am waiting for Emily to buy some stuff at the army surplus store. Last time around I bought a anti-tank missle tube here but things were slightly more conventional this time around.
Who can't get enough of the garbage bag jacket? Yeah, an alternate design I've seen some other places but these guys claim to be the inventors. The bonus is you get a sweet hood:
Wrapped up the awesome trip with an awesome concert. Went to see The Pharcyde with my cousin Nick. It seems my crash the stage skills work all over this great nation of ours. Here's the look from the stage:
My take home from this concert was a broken drum stick and a CD I caught that one of the earlier bands was pitching to the audience. Live music rules!
Well, that's probably it for the moment since we'll be flying soon but since I finally have a minute wanted to get some more stuff online. I'm back!
