4) Well, Scott bought me a wetsuit. This might be a step in the direction of this.
16) This fall, Scott and I are going camping, and this will happen. :)
17) See above.
19) LOL, I got my guitar from my parents' house, and now SCOTT is learning how to play it. I'll probably play with the training videos at some point.
47) Friday, the rest of my stuff is gotten from Rob's and put into storage. Saturday, I will be getting most if not all of my stuff from Jake's. Blotto, everything will then be at Scott's or in the storage shed.
51) The last weekend of this month, right before I go back to work? I am seriously considering it.
