By the fire

Today was supposed to be a relaxing day on the river but we ended up tubing down the rapids instead. If you're not familiar with tubing. basically you take a giant rubber ring (a bit like a tractor tyre) and use it to cruise down river. Most of the time it is quite sedate until you hit the rapids and it turns into white water rafting. Unfortunately for me I ended up being thrown off my tube three times, face planting the water and getting some seriously bruised ribs from the rocks, much the the amusement of those watching. All good fun tho and good exercise carrying your tube back up river. In the end we managed three runs of about a mile each run.
This evening I sat by the fire taking medicinal bourbon.
