> Weather yesterday was in the 70's and very sunny. Did yard work, but thought all day about getting wet. Kept kicking myself for not doing something. Today we passed the 80 degree mark - rare for Maine this time of year - so the minute I got out of work I headed home and changed into a pair of fairly new dark blue Levi 501s, black cowboy boots and belt, navy, gray and black striped long sleeved shirt, navy tie and black cowboy hat. Drove to the next town. About two weeks ago they had a mud race there and I was hoping there might be some left. It's a nice trail that follows a stream pretty closely. When I came to the stream I waded in until the water poured into my boots and filled them. Cold, as I knew it would be. The stream is shallow, up to my knees at the deepest, but there are some little pools where one can get wet. Sat down in the cold water and soaked my Levis. Then got up and walked down the path a ways enjoying the wet shiny jeans and water sloshing in my boots. Eventually I came to the mud pit. It is a naturally boggy area next to the stream that is used as a major obstacle in the race. Lots of water on top. Waded in, mud up to my knees, sucking at my boots. Not my favorite kind of mud, more like peat and filled with old leaves and mulchy stuff - but any mud is better than no mud - so sat down in it and and covered my Levis with it. Then into the stream to wash off. At this point I was only wet up to my waist. Found a decent sized pool, bit the bullet and laid down in it. The cold water on my chest and back was a shock, but the look of the wet shirt, jeans and tie was worth it. Took the hat off, filled it with water and poured it over my head. Again a shock, but now I was totally wet. Kept walking down the stream bed and everytime I came to a decent sized pool I laid down and resoaked myself. Not so bad now, I had gotten used to the cold. Did this several times and finally got out and walked back through the woods to the car. Jeans, shirt, tie and hat dripping and water sloshing ion my boots. The wet cloths felt awesome, and the sunshine was very warm. Of course when I got inside the car it was like an oven, so not cold at all. Did my signature routine of stopping at a local convenience store and bought a soda. I was obviously wet, but not dripping, as most of the water had dripped out of my clothes during the long walk back to the car. Drove around for while then home to write this. Next stop - the shower. YIPPEE!
