Whew! A little tired this morning. Guess that 4 day rest was definitely what made me go that extra mile (almost literally) yesterday. I still did the same route and amount today but it wasn't as easy as yesterday. Ah well, you'll have those days. Drive, Drive, Drive.
David got burnt yesterday at work. He was changing a valve on a machine and all the sudden his arm was covered in boiling water. He ended up at the ER, but he's fine. He has 2nd degree burns on his wrist and 1st degree up his forearm. Hey, he even got his tetanus shot. Kind of ironic because I was just thinking the other day when his last tetanus was given because of the risks he has with his job. Well, no need to worry because now he's up to date. And just like me, we didn't even have to pay for it because our injuries both happened while on the job. I guess that's something positive that comes out of getting injured while you're at work.
On a different note, we had planned to go to CP last night and David still felt up to going. So we got our passes and headed into the park. I got my first corn dog of the season...yum! We figured we'd check out the line for Maverick because we might as well ride it now while the lines are shorter. The park wasn't empty but it definitely wasn't full either. The Maverick line sign said it was 1 and 1/4 hours wait but we were in and out of the line/ride in 45 minutes. It's definitely a cool ride. The hill's not high but you go real fast up the thing and then the drop over is over a 90 degree fall, making you feel like you're going to turn over. Then the rest of the ride you're flyin' and rollin'. It's a good ride. I definitely want to ride it again. Then we headed over to David's newest favorite, the Skyhawk. If you've never seen it basically envision a gigantic kid's swing that is all you ever wanted as a kid. You keep going higher and faster and it's just great. After that we headed back to the front to try finding the 25 cent cotton candy. FYI they no longer have this "deal". Bummer. So we settled for a donut from Donut Time (where the front arcade used to be next to the ice cream parlor). They were very good and surprisingly not all that expensive considering it's CP. We had the place all to ourselves which I'm figuring will not happen in the near future again. So it was nice to soak up all that was around us. It's a cute little place. Kind of like a coffee shop thing with Starbucks coffee and even internet access. So we had a fun time and it will definitely be nice to go over there here and there and spend a few hours to unwind at the end of a long day.
David's up now. Time to go re-wrap the arm. Have a good day!
