yukihiro goes pee.
oh yeah, as we're going down river, just past gorilla rock we hear "you guys want a beer!?!?" to which we reply with a solid "hell yes!" we paddled over to the left shore and hopped out and introduced ourselves to these fine young gentlemen. they then proceeded to pop open a brand new bottle of whiskey as well as produce a hand full of buds (the beer). while the boys chatted with them i took off into the dust after their dog. we ran in circles for a while, just long enough for me to feel like my heart was going to pop out of my temples. after i joined dempsey and these two boys for a little trash talking and dirty jokes. all of a sudden, the bigger guy turns to me and says something along the lines of, "you know, you have the dreamiest eyes" or something like that. dempsey and i look at each other. sensing the weirdness of his statement he then says, "i don't wanna sound gay or nothing, but...." then he tries to get his bro in law to back him up. he asks him, "if you had to give me one word to describe his eyes what would it be?" with out skipping a beat his brother in law says "blue". plain and simple. anyway, it was about to get weirder so i went chasing after the dog again and then we all hopped in the boat and paddled off. 
jump lady, jump. 
splat!
cohen says it's peanut butter-jelly time, peanut butter-jelly time.
dempsey done.
i've been trying to get dempsey to learn to guide for some time now. this past weekend, after a few cans of courage, i just told him to get in the guide seat and guide the hardest rapid (trouble maker) on the river. we didn't go through perfectly but he showed that he was in control the whole time.
