Every once in a while it’s good to get out of your normal element and do something completely opposite to your day to day routine.  This last couple days, I did just that.  I didn’t know I was doing it.  I thought I was going to Missouri to meet with a guy about some web nerd stuff, and while I did have dinner with a guy and talk some web nerd stuff, the most of what I was doing was riding that four wheeler around through rivers and mud and climbing mountain trails at Bricks Off Road Park.  And it was exactly what I needed to do for a day or two.

It’s been too long since I’ve done some ‘outdoorsy’ stuff.  You know, where you come back freezing and covered in mud and it doesn’t matter that you didn’t brush your teeth that morning.

I also drove this crazy machine for the first time ever.  Now, I’m in no way a big machine operator or anything like that, but this thing was fun.  I tore out (up) a tree and completely destroyed the root systems of all the surrounding trees, but at least no one died and I didn’t ruin anything with physical value.  Anyway, I had a great time doing some “man” stuff, and can’t wait to bring the boys next time.

So what’s your “I don’t normally get to do this but I love it – break from the normal” thing to do?
