Wow what a great weekend so far! Today the weather continued to hold and we all got an early start to the river. There are two river hang outs and today we went to a different one then yesterday. On our way to the river, I noticed a few old cars junked in the creek running along the road. Joe, Jeremy, and I rode over to them and started picking through the cars looking for emblems. Then we see two more cars up the river that were not visible from the road, then once at those two we saw two more, and then one by itself. All in all there were 7 old cars. We got some pretty cool emblems that I’m going to put on Ebay and see if I can get any of them sold. Maybe it will pay the beer for our next cabin trip!
The girls headed home once we got back to the river and then it was just the guys chilling. More just time by the fire drinking beer, singing, and bs’ing. I have to head home tomorrow and I’m not looking forward to it! Back to work, back to the Eagles, back to the real world! Oh well, it was a wonderful weekend to just relax!!!
Oh, by the way, Happy Birthday Jeremy! ;-)

2010 – Cabin trip – Night 1.5/2
Well, I headed off to bed around 12:30 am this morning. Around 3:30 I heard some banging around. I look outside and I could see Jeremy and Joe unpacking their things into the cabin. I get up and head over there to hang out with them. We start drinking and Jeremy gets his guitar out. Joe crashed around 5 but Jeremy and I stayed up until daylight. Then we figured we better be crashing because we were expecting James and BJ by 10 am.
True to form when I finally rolled out of bed at 10:30, James and BJ was already at the cabin. Within the hour Jeanie and Sonya had made it up too. We all get everything unpacked and then we got to some chores. BJ and I went up the four wheeler trails and cut up some trees that had fell down over the trails.
Around 1:00, after some lunch, we all packed the beer up into riding coolers and headed off to the river. What a blast!!! I literally could spend all day there. Hit the mud holes, get dirty, 2 minute ride to the river and clean off, repeat! LOL
We headed back to the cabin and got the fire going. The rain set in and then we all crammed into the cabin and Jeremy got his guitar back out. Beer, music, and friends…what a great relaxing time!

2010 - Cabin trip - Night 1
Well after a full day at work I finally hit the road to the cabin around 7:00 and made it here around 8:45. After unpacking and getting everything setup it was well after 10:00.
It's so quiet and peaceful here...that may be one of the reasons I decided to come up alone for the first night. Everyone else is coming up tomorrow. I didn't have any plans for tonight so I decided to leave earlier. I can't say I'm completely alone - I brought Coal with me. His snorting and licking does interrupt the crackling of the fire every now and then, but I'm so glad he's here. He didn't seem to mind the ride up.
Speaking of ride - the new ride performed awesome! I got to try out most of the off-road bells and whistles (electronic locking rear differential, off-road lights, etc.). We crawled through the mud holes and up cabin falls (a pretty big hill) with no problems - even towing a trailer. I'm so glad I finally got my Xterra! ;-)
Sitting up here alone (well, the only person) really makes me think about my step-father. He built this cabin and, god rest his soul, he's not buried too far from here. I didn't think about it until now, but coming up here alone is the "Milford" thing to do. Everyone was surprised that I was coming up here a night before anyone else...though it wasn't my intentions. When I made my plans for this weekend I really expected a few people to come up tonight. But oh well, I'll enjoy the peace and quiet!
This is also the 1st trip to the cabin for me in over a year where I'm not thinking about some woman that just did me wrong. The last two times I've came up here I was supposed to be bringing a date with me, but they backed out at the last minute. I haven't even had time to date these last few months...so this weekend will just be about relaxing and hanging with friends.
Waiting for me back home...The Pop Evil concert is two weeks from tonight! I really hope that we have a kick ass show! We're over 145 tickets sold with 50 extra being given away on 103.1 "The Bear". So we're already looking at 200 people and I'm optimistic that we'll sell another 200 tickets. That's going to put us around break-even for the band and lighting/sound. So it'll be up to the bar to make our money.
Maybe after I get done promoting these rock shows for the Eagles I can start focusing on my personal life again. Who knows?!?! I haven't been on a date since late February and honestly that was a waste of my time! I guess when the time is right I'll meet Mrs. Right, or so I've been told.
Well, enough staring at an iPhone that doesn't get any service! LOL
I'll post this and all my blogs from this weekend when I get back home. I hope you all have a great weekend!!!
Peace out. ;-)

Busy, busy, busy...
Sorry everybody for not posting the last month...
Things have been ccccrazy busy for me lately. If you haven't heard, I was able to score a national rock back to come play at the Eagles. Pop Evil will be play on May 7th! This will hopefully be a huge draw to our club and only the beginning. Stay tuned to what the next band we're getting! I already have them booked, but I want to wait until after Pop Evil to announce. If you're in the Parkersburg area, the Pop Evil concert is $10 tickets and will have Jinx'd opening up for them.
So I have spent my last month either at the radio station in meetings, at the Eagles in meetings, or at work. Very little time for anything else!
I did manage to squeeze in a Poker run last Saturday. It was 60 miles and took about 6 hours. Me, my brother, and the Lynch boys (Aaron, Jeff, and Josh) had a great time! No one broke down and it was just an absolutely great time.
This weekend I'm heading to the cabin to do some more riding and camping. This will be my first time to try out my new pop-up tent! LOL - oh yeah, I guess I forgot to mention that I bought a new vehicle last month. I traded my truck in for a 2010 X-terra Off Road. I'm soooo looking forward to what it can do on the trails to the cabin! ;-) Plus I'm planning on camping in the back of it ("pop-up tent").
I hope all is well with each of you. Sorry again for not posting lately. I hope you can make it to the Pop Evil concert. Let me know if you need tickets and I'll get them to you!
Take care,
Jr.
P.S. - No dates and/or no women to complain or talk about. I've just been too busy, but it's actually been kind of nice! ;-) I might have a cruise in my near future! Talk to you all later!
