David and I found this tree that fell on another tree, breaking it off at 9 ft or so, and resting on the still standing trunk. We gathered logs with John and Nick to create a skeleton for a debris fort.


Ah yes, another Company Convention. Complete with talks, PT and even Beastie Boys Bachelor Party (and Manchos); in short, delightful. The 26 guys spent Dec 31-Jan 3 together, one of our longest Conventions to date, we helped with the Bachelor Party, Rehearsal Dinner and Reception for one of the founding members of the Company, Sean Connelly.
To all Company guys: our water heater exploded the day we got back to Indy and John and I were totally "on call" to get the job done. We rigged up a funnel and old piece of tubing I use for cars and tied with some yarn we borrowed to the pressure release valve seen above spewing water into a tupperware. Between hauling the tupperware out the basement as it filled up, John and I shoveled pooling water into cleaning buckets using dust pans. Total clean up time: 30 min.
