What a fun weekend! The new season tickets for WSU football are under cover; what a great bonus for rainy or snowy games. This one was gloriously sunny! From high up on the western 5 yard line, Annie and I celebrated a lot of great Cougar plays after hooking up with the Ericksons for some tasty tailgating. Then we rescued Nick from his job for an enjoyable late dinner.
After dropping Nick and Jaslyn off on campus and Annie at Lauren’s apartment, I picked a spot to park my subcompact RV. Okay, it’s really a 4Runner. It makes amazing mileage compared to RV’s! Comfort is a relative thing. A sleeping pad fits in the back. Next time I’ll park on a slight downslope to level the bed. I might have opened the windows a little wider and perhaps put a little less air in the mattress. A 24 hour bathroom would have been nice, but I made it to one just in time!
Annie and I worked out at the WSU Recreation Center; it’s fun to have someone help me push a little harder. Nick couldn’t join us but he sure did inspire us! He’s added amazing amounts of muscle in the past month. We were so inspired by his physique that we toasted our arms and tortured our legs. I could barely stumble around. Then we hopped on elliptical/stair hybrid machines for some cardio work. I pushed to my theoretical maximum heart rate, near the end, at 166 beats per minute. I suspect my heart will beat faster, but the machine was dancing and the readout said “maximum speed attained.” It may have translated to “slow down and quit abusing me!” Who’s to know?

Whenever I hop in to drive, I get these “man I’m lucky to drive this rig” & “all is well” feelings sweeping over me. Knowing I’m prepared to drive anywhere I want whenever I want opens many adventurous opportunities! I never have to pack carefully if I’m driving; there’s plenty of room! 🙂
