(Day 35) Recovering from the 4th

Jackie got us up around 11:00 so we could get to the cafe across the street before they stopped serving breakfast. Everyone felt pretty good, we'd kept up on the water drinking last night so no one had a hangover. Breakfast was good, especially the hash browns. It remided me how good they are when you put onions and peppers in and how easy they are to make.

The highlight of the day was taking the short hike up behind the cabins to Silver Falls. There wasn't much water cominq over but that meant we could get up real close and into the spray. It was so relaxing to just sit and watch the wind blow the water around as it fell onto the rocks below. In the fifty plus foot fall the column of water would visibly accelerate and turn into vapor, very cool.

Jackie had to work a half day so while she was gone Brad and I entertained ourselves by reading and sending postcards. I even got to help Carey (I'm not sure what his role there was but he was the acting computerguy) get some stuff fixed on their computers. They started watching Rob Roy, I was tryinq to get caught up with these emails but I got interested in the movie and spent two and a half hours watching it. I'd offered to help Brad make Jackie dinner but it ended up being Brad helping Jackie make dinner. What makes it worse was it was a stupid movie too.

If you'll recall my web server went down, the long and short was the hard drlve went out. My friend Chris Petrell had offered to bring the computer and a new hard drive up and meet me. I was a bit suprised by the offer but he seemed up for the drive so I wasn't going to argue. I wasn't sure where we'd be when we tried to meet him but it worked out pretty well. I got a room for him at the motel next to the YES cabins and he rolled in after midnight. We chitchated a bit and then I started trying to get the data copied off the old hard drive onto the new one. It didn't go well, by the time I started it was too far gone, the only thing left was my MP3 collection.
