Day 3 - On the Waterfront...

Day 3 started a little slower compared to the past two days, with davening led by Adam (Billy), and then a quick breakfast, where we were joined by two friendly dogs.

We had a quick morning seder afterwards, and then heard a chabura from Gil (Lenny) and a shiur from Art before making our way to the activity for the day – boating on the Clear Lake. Once arriving in the town of Lockport we made a stop to pick up our boats, tubes and skis and made our way to the water. Buns’ (Garth ) boat consisted of Kirschner (Chip), Kaye (Timmy), Knoll (Timmy Tom Jr. III), Milgraum (Dale), Brooks (Fred) and Mutty (Bob), while Dan’s (Art) boat consisted of Gil (Lenny), Schwartz (Harris), Rafi (Gordon), Keith (Trudy) and Adam (Billy). Each boat had their own stories to tell over the course of dinner at highlights ranging from anchoring the boat in the middle for no reason to Milgraum throwing everyone across the boat with the most insane turn ever to Dani bugging-out that there were sharks in the water.

After a very relaxing day on the water we decided it was time to head home, making a pit-stop ate Safeway (third Safeway we’ve been to in CA) to pick up some more food and daven Mincha. Once our arrival at our headquarters, we rocked out to with a solid rikud for a half hour, whereupon Rafi (Gordon) took the initiative and cooked us a "Texeria" BBQ dinner, somehow managing after the grill broke. At dinner all the suggestions that were placed in the suggestion box today were read, some included naming the van and changing the Art’s name to Chuck. After highlight were completed and everyone had calmed down, Knoll gave a chaburah to end the night. Kirsch whose has been renamed Richard* is expected to arrive tonight, we’re looking forward to all the ridiculousness he adds to our already ridiculous crew.

* - As per a suggestion that was passed in the suggestion box, Kirsch has officially been renamed Dick.
