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. ;-)
