epic weekend #2!

wow, two in a row!
who would have thunk it?!

so friday i had to work late, cause we are starting our moves to the burnaby location.
the peeps from the 20th floor went last friday and i stayed to help out.
i get paid overtime at least.

afterwards, i headed home and got ready to go out.
met up with karina and tanis, and went to a house party that was mostly people from a different gaming studio.
a nice change from partying with my guys.
made some new friends and had fun!

darryl and tanis

new friend neil and old friend karina
(she isnt old but you know what i mean...)

saturday i woke up a bit hung over.
i walked to canadian tire and bought a wire brush and some kerosene.
also orange hand wash cause my hands get filthy with all this motor work.
i had posted on facebook when i got up that i wanted to go and do the grouse grind, and my friend Corey (same spelling and same birthday! but he's a year older) responded almost right away saying he was down.
so he came and picked me up and off we went!

the grouse grind is this steep man made trail up the side of grouse mountain.
its like, the thing to do here for some reason, and after living here for five years, ive never done it.
its about 3 km up the mountain. and its hard!
i thought i was going to pass out a few times, but i just stopped and drank loads of water.
and boy did i ever feel good when i got to the top!
i cant wait to do it again!!!

on the trail

we made it!
