I delievered that fixed computer back to the camp caretaker yesterday. He works at an animal clinic. While I was there, he wanted me to solve another computer problem. This one consisted of “We have an update on this CDR, but we can’t get it to read it.” Solution: Write another CDR because this one is obviously not written properly. (I tried it in 2 different computers and neither could read it).
Also while I was there, I got to witness and a spay and neuter on 2 different dogs. Pretty nasty. Makes me not want to get an animal.
So while I was in town, I sanded the bunks at camp to get rid of the graffiti on them. The oldest graffiti I saw was from ’98. So I didn’t shed too many tears over it. Most was from 2002. Hopefully this will put a stop to it.
And girls seem to leave their mark more often than guys. That cabin 15 had tons of graffiti on it. And it’s usually the cabin that has the high school girls on it. Whereas I only had to clean off one bunk in the boys’ cabins.
I did find some graffiti from MJ’s retreat up there. So I’m pondering what to do about it. Given my current status, I doubt much will be said. Still it is bothersome to have kids doing that. Why the double standard? Why is it ok to leave your mark at a church camp, but not ok to do the same thing in your own church or your own home?
Anyways the sander did good. I know it wasn’t that big of a deal. It won’t stop it. A couple of guys showed up from Simpson County trying to lay out the soccer field and nature trail. I mentioned what I was up there doing and they said it was the least of their problems. But thanked me for my help.
The water slide still isn’t done. I’m beginning to have doubts on whether or not it will get done. Maybe I’ll be proven wrong.
So it was nice and peaceful at camp. Very calming. It reminded me that what makes camp isn’t the facilities necessarily, although it can play a role in building up memories. It’s the people. Otherwise you’re just left with an empty set of cabins with no one.
I saw Matrix Reloaded with Brian, Daniel, Cody, and John and a couple of other people. I still don’t get the movie. Must be way over my head.
