rietzapalooza

rietzapalooza was this weekend so i drove up to lafayette, grabbed nick, and we went up to MN for the event (comprising of the activites of nick, the rietz's, and i over the weekend)
we stopped at a hotel partway there because we had such a late start and got in to MN saturday afternoon
after we arrived we went golfing (my second time ever), after an AMAZING sports-center-esque putt on the first hole (that left me 2 over par) i continued to average 2 over for all 9 holes (i kept hitting the ball 1ft towards the hole and 4ft behind me when i was on the fairway...)
once we got back they finished up making dinner (egg rolls and fried cheese filled things mmmm fat) and we watched some futurama before bed
sunday we got fishing permits and went around to different docks looking for things to catch, unfortunately it had jsut rained so we didn't end up having any luck (i was the only one to even get bites)
after we got back we went on a tour of the factory where adam works, they make high-end farming sprayers (those tall machines with 4 wheels on stilts that are hydraulically driven and distribute stuff on the fields) and it was neat to see a LEAN factory and how they did things
after another wonderful meal we watched pirates 3
it was really entertaining, but my favorite part was goeffrey rush's laugh (perfect)
monday we drove back after some more hanging out
good times
