Monday....

That 41 hours I went without eating didn't work out too well.  Turns out food and sleep are important, even if you're having fun.  Eight pounds in 3 days isn't such a big deal, if you're at the top of a weight range.  The problem wasn't so much the weight loss as it was the lack of energy.  Sunday reminded me of Guiness,  my really awesome dog that died after 14 years, eleven of which were in my care.  She could run like a deer.  She actually ran after them and in the first one hundred yards, closed the gap on them in her first year at my harn. She was like a streamlined gazelle.  Little puffs of cloudy dirt erupted as she ran.  Her back stayed completely straight, but her legs moved like lightning.  Her strides were gorgeous.  Ok, so the only part that applies to me and that Sunday in question is that she would lay on my couch for a complete day after running like that after a deer.  I spent the same amount of energy chasing waves as Guiness did deer.  My lower back ached.  Lethargy took over.  I was smoked.  It was a beautiful Sunday here, most of them are.  My kiting buddies all took off to go camping somewhere up in the lagoon.  They  took their Zodiac boats and headed up about 2 hours north of Kwaj to some deserted island.  They took a beating to get there, but I hear it was great.  It worked out perfectly because I needed time to just lay on the bed like Guiness, even if I didn't.

Here are some random pics that have nothing to do with any of that...

This would be my little corner of the shoebox. 

this is the other side of my half, which has yet to be filled.  I'm happy about that, but if we have a third person move in our company pays us each and extra $750 a month.  My room mate tried to sell me on getting two other roomates, where he would rent out his bed and live outside in a tent for $2250 a month....funny...but not going to happen
 

This is shot from the Surfspot on the west side of the island.....no surfing this night
 

A shot of the cement pile by the batch plant...because I know people wanted to see it
