Misnomer

If this is "labor" day I gotta tell you, I love it.

We slept in this morning then enjoyed a leisurely breakfast before heading out for a hike. The one we did today was classified as "difficult" and there were some great rocky ascents and descents. It took us an hour and 45 minutes to hike about two miles. That's either a testament to the difficulty or too our casual mindset.

After hiking, we hung out on the deck a bit and Scouter got a wild hair and started popping chillies. (Those are beers in Scouter lingo.) We lit the grill for chops and corn. I opened a bottle of Blue Mountain Brewery Mandolin artisanal ale. Now Scouter and I are both very mellow while Taz and Rainbow run circles around the house.

Taz tasted a sip of beer and now he says he wants to live in the mountains forever so that all he has to do for the rest of his life is hike and drink beer.
