The logs come and go…

Every day I go by this log yard.
It is 3 blocks from my place of work.
Some days it is full and others it is close to empty.

The logs come and go...

Both ways bother me.
My family goes a long way back in this dieing  port town.
Logging and fishing and mills are what built and kept us alive.

Now the trees are disappearing and so are the fish.
The logging industry (and the mills that feed off of it) are pretty much toast.
Fishing has went the same way over the last decade.
My town is a shell of what it once was.

When I see the logs I know people are working.
I know my town will survive a while longer.
When the logs are not there I worry.
How much longer until it is really ended?

At the same time however I hate logging.
I hate that we in the pacific northwest didn’t start farming our trees until it was to late.
I hate that what we are cutting can never be replaced.
I love the trees. I love the forests.
I don’t want them destroyed.

Living with the national park in my back yard is cool.
It is protected for sure… but it still gets cut.
They do it for other reasons. Fire lines and such.

Yet we have private timber stands out here that are 10 times bigger than most parks.
Vast stretches of forest that are not protected.
I have watched them slowly disappear over the course of my life.
It sucks.
Soon they will be gone. Maybe 10 years at most I think.
The world sucks.
We are all shit.

I want the mills to keep running so my family and friends can support themselves.
I want the forests left alone so when my daughter is grown she can hike into a place that was made by God instead of man.

I want to preserve what we have left… yet I want hardwood floors.

Who amongst us is not either a hypocrite or a self righteous murderer of our earth?

The Rundown On Our Big Weekend

Obviously I survived the weekend or I wouldn’t be posting, but survive is about it.
Because of over-taxing myself  I am still sick as a dog.

We arrived in Ocean Shores Friday around 2:pm and our hotel room wasn’t ready.
I argued with the desk people a while and they shuffled some rooms and got us all checked in.
We called the couple we had made our plans with and agreed to meet at 3:30 at some place with a big shark for a front door.
I showered, shaved,etc… Took a ton of cold medicine and away we went.

Anxiety was big because we had been planning this all year and I was very excited to meet with the girl of the couple.
We had been texting/talking daily for months.

When we arrived the male half was waiting outside.
He didn’t look happy.
“Oh-no”
Turned out he was just a tad nervous himself.
The girl was very happy and outgoing however and made it all good.
She was also gorgeous beyond what I had imagined and I had seen over a hundred pictures of her.

We went and got some fish-n-chips and chatted a bit.
All was good.
I had been worried my wife was not going to get along with the hubby.
They hadn’t had much communication and what they had was average to say the least.
They did get along however so I relaxed a bit.

We checked out the town a bit and went to the triathlon registration.
After that it was cocktails and dinner, then quik trip back to our hotel to freshen up before going to their room.

The tension was pretty high.
My wife and the hubby had hit it off huge by this point and both of them pretty much ignored myself and the pretty girl I had been waiting to see all year.

We began kissing and slowly undressing each-other.
She was heavenly.
My cold was all of a sudden hardly bugging me.
We got frenzied and she teased me and made me want her more.
When she went down on me she did it perfect.
Everything she did was perfect.
Ahh… to much.
When we finally got to the intercourse part I was way to built up.
I was having super huge feelings of wanting to orgasm and couldn’t get rid of them.
The foreplay had lasted about an hour.
I lasted about a minute.
She didn’t seem to mind and told me that it made her feel sexy and desired because of they way I lost it.
I didn’t believe her at the time, and because of my cold I was not able to get it back up for round two.
My wife however was already done with her round one and came over to help out.
Even with her help it was a no go.

I sent my wife back to play with her new boy toy and I made shure my new friend got a second orgasm.
(She had already had one during our earlier oral play)

My wife had the best time ever.
I was a bit stressed though over my performance and figured I better do dang good on the next night.

We headed back to our room to get a few hours sleep before the triathlon in the morning.
I was so stressed over my performance with my swingers fantasy girl that I couldn’t sleep at all.
Not a wink.
I was up the entire night.

I headed out at 6:am with zero sleep and sick as hell to compete in a triathlon.
Pure stubborn.
I was dizzy even walking and my wife said I looked like the living dead.

We met our friends and set up our transition areas.

I put on my wet suit and went to the lake to await death.

When my wave started I felt o.k. for about the first 200 yards and then my sickness and weakness over took me.
I got kicked pretty hard in my already stuffed up nose and my goggles got messed up.
I thought “Fuck, I am gonna drown I am so tired.”
Somehow I slugged through the swim though and made it to shore.

This is me walking (not running) out of the water after the swim leg of the triathlon.

 

I took it super easy on the bike leg and just cruised it.
Bike is what I am good at though, so even just trying to chill because of sickness I still got a better than average time.

The run however was what I was worried about and the primary reason I chilled on the bike.
I chugged along super slow with a bout a 9 minute mile average.
Somehow I finished.

finished the triathlon

Looking as bad as I felt, but still happy that I stubbornly pushed myself through even when sick.

 
Note:
My wife took third overall in the 10k running in her vibrams five fingers.
It was her first 10k running in them and she said she was happy about their performance.

After the races we all went and showered up.

It was decided I needed a nap.
I stayed on the bed trying to sleep for 2 hours while we heard crashing and booming and yelling maids.
Finally my wife freaked out and went to the desk.
We ended up moving rooms.
The result was NO nap.

Note:
The Lighthouse Best Western in Ocean Shores was the worst hotel experience of my life.
I wont go into detail about it, but the noise and rude staff was enough to make me say that.
I used to travel as part of my work.
I have stayed in literally thousands of hotels.
So being the worst is quite an accomplishment.

No sleep, sick, worn out, and stressed form the night before.
What a great way to feel as I start to get ready for our night.

We did some more site seeing and some beach walking.
Even in my stupor of sick, tired , and medicine dosing I was captivated by the girl.
My wife was acting like a giddy teenager because of her husband so she didn’t seem to mind that I had tunnel vision for this beaty.

Eventually it was time for coctails (I skipped them because i was already punch drunk dizzy)
We sat around a couple hours talking about swinging, swingers and funny adventures.

The time came to go upstairs to a room and my anxiety went crazy.
What if I fail to perform?
What if I repeate last nights performance?
I’m to sick, to stressed, to worried.

My wife just told me to chill out and not worry.
“It never happened before, and it wont again.” she said.
Her words didn’t help.

My fantasy girl went to the bathroom to get dressed in something special.
My wife just continued flirting with her new friend.
I just continued stressing.

When the pretty summer fantasy girl came out of the bathroom my jaw dropped.
She was dressed in a sexy , strappy, black, almost nothing outfit, with F-Me heals and her hair in pigtails (because she knows I liked them)

She came to me and asked me if I liked it.
A few stammered compliments later she shut me up with a kiss.
I began exploring her body from head to toe.
I worked my way down until I was on the floor with her above me and then back up again.
We began to get serious and her dazzling beauty took me away.
It was dream like.

No problems this time.
I forgot to be nervous, I forgot I was tired and sick.
I was lost in the moment.
It was amazing.
I built to that just about to orgasm point and held it there for about a half an hour.
Only after she begged me to cum for close to 10 minutes did I let it happen.

I laid there for a while with her and we talked.
We turned to watch our spouses for a while until they told us to stop.
Then this sexy creature laying on top of me worked her way down and used her mouth to bring me to another incredible orgasm.

Afterwards I tried to return the favor, but she wouldn’t let me and said i had to wait.
We just talked quietly for a half hour or so.
Our spouses seemed to be doing the same between bouts of wrestling and hitting each-other and other funny behavior.

The beauty then said she wanted me to fuck her.
I said 2 was my limit, and that I was even surprised I got that with being so tired.
She said o.k. and preceded to kiss me, touch me, rub on me…
I slowly grew as she rubbed her warmth on me and made my desire rise.
She pushed softly on my now hard cock – teasing with her wetness.
I grabbed a condom and put it on.
She slid down on it and rode me until we both came again.

A beautiful angel with sex ninja skills!
That is what she was.

We hung out for another hour or so.
They wanted us to stay, but we like privacy in the morning.

We met for breakfast and decided to fly kites on the beach.
After our kite flying we all went our separate ways.

We have talked with this couple daily since (as I did before) and they had just as wonderful of an experience as we did.
Both have called us their favorites ever and said our sexual fun was the best ever.

My wife smiles whenever the guy texts, and is still giddy from her overly fun weekend.

As for me… My summer fantasy girl turned out to be ten times more wonderful than even my fantasy had painted her.

It is very rare for all 4 people to clique so perfectly in the lifestyle.

We are already making plans to get together again.

Sick For The Big Weekend

I have had a cold for almost 2 weeks.
It is a crappy ass cold that has stopped me from training and sucked every bit of energy from my body.
My nose is plugged up, but still runny.
It sucks!

The cold however will not stop me from having fun.

We leave tomorrow for our big weekend.
Actually it is Ocean Shores Big Weekend to be precise.
Thrown by Tri Freaks It is a big athletic weekend featuring many races.

Lucky for me – I signed up for the sprint triathlon rather than the olympic distance I had originally considered… because I know that I would not be able to finish it with this blasted cold.
My lovely wife (who doesn’t swim will be competing in the 10k run.

Oh this cold pisses me off.

Not just because of messing up my triathlon… nope, not just that.

You see we also have a couples date.

Way back in January I made a post about missing the pajama jammy jam party and how we would most likely not get to meet up with a certain sexy couple until summer.
Yep, summer is here.
Yep, they are meeting us in Ocean shores.
Yep, I have a fucking terrible cold with all the nasty symptoms on the cold medication box plus a few more they don’t cover.
Ain’t life grand?

To much planning and time involved for any of us to consider cancelling.
To long of a wait already.
We have all wanted to meet since last October and I have wanted to do the Ocean Shores big weekend for 2 years.

Yep, the cold sucks.
Hopefully by some magic or grace of God I will get better super fast.
Even with the cold though I am excited.
I am excited for a weekend at the beach.
I am excited for a nice hotel on the beach.
I am excited for a mini vacation from work.
I am excited for my wife to get a break from her stresses.
I am excited for the triathlon. (even if I will do terrible)
I am excited to finally get to meet a pretty girl I have been texting with for many months.
I am NOT excited about my cold… but mind over matter – I am gonna have a blast anyway.

Besides the race and the sex we have plans to build sand castles, fly kites, play on the beach and enjoy a fabulously relaxing time.

Wish me luck!

Eating At The Space Needle Restaurant

My wife told me she had never been up in the Seattle Space needle so we just had to go.

I had not been  in many years…

The food was excellent, the service was excellent, the view was excellent.

great view while eating at the seattle space needle

What a view

If you have never dined at the top of the needle you really should.

If you are visiting Seattle make it part of your trip.
It is a famous part of the Seattle sky-scape that shouldn’t be missed…
and if you live in the area you certainly should if for no other reason than to eat some great food while checking out the Emerald City from above.

A word of advice…
You will need reservations and the cost is on the high end for Seattle dining.

Survived Rhody Run XXXII

After just a few practice runs… I survived the Rhody Run.

I had figured because of being a couch potato all year that I would have to walk about half of it, but I actually ran the whole thing.
I didn’t run very fast… but I ran.
The weather was perfect and the people on the side of the road had a lot of encouragement as always.

The Port Townsend Rhody Run is definitely one of the nicest beginner friendly fun runs I have done.

This year however I must say that they skimped out on the food at the end.
Huge, slow moving line to get to some bananas and oranges and a few bagels.
The refreshments (besides the always present beer) was just soda. No other options.

They could have spread the tables to keep people moving, but they clumped them all together so as to cause a traffic jam. That is the kind of thing I expect to see at a new – small – unorganized charity run.
Not at a long time running popular run. It sucked.
I have done the Rhody before and they didn’t have that problem.
To alleviate such a problem all that needs be done is spread the tables so that people don’t stop and eat in front of them.

I heard people complain that they didn’t get the little pin that usually comes with the run… but so what.
A year without a pin ain’t gonna hurt you and the shirts more than made up for it.

The Rhody had really great Adidas tech shirts this year.

Anyways… enough of my complaints.
Besides the finish /food/drink issue… It was a great run as always.
I highly recommend the Rhody Run to anybody who is interested in fun runs.
Beginner to elite… it is a great race with many friendly people.

This years general stats…
Number of Finishers: 2,469
Number of Females: 1,401
Number of Males: 1,068
Average Time: 1:32:54
Top Male Time: 36:48
Top Female Time: 45:53

If you live in the NW plan on doing it next year.
You will be glad you did.
