So one weekend I decided to go up to matt W.'s sisters boyfriends cousins cabin up in McBain MI. I took friday off of work because I planned on Skiing with matt at some sweet mountain up north in Michigan.

The drive was fine and I called him when I was at some random party store. He came to get me about 10 minutes later and boy am I glad that he did get me because this cabin was wayy back in the woods.

Okay so back to the rest of this memory.

Once Matt picked me up I followed him to this amazing property out in the middle of nowhere. This place had all of the ammenities that you could possibly want in an up north cabin! There were tons of guns, a bunch of 4 wheelers and snow mobiles, about 20 bunk beds, lots of room, TV, a nice kitchen and everything.

Matt and I soon left for our skiing and snowboarding adventure. We brought along the portable podcast if we felt random and felt like talking to lots of people, but that never felt right at the lodge or on the slopes.

It was very cold throughout the day and wind was almost unbearable at times. We skiied for maybe an hour and then grabbed lunch and warmed up. After that it began to warm up more and we hit the second mountain side at Caberfae. This was the best and we had the most fun here because we found many unique slopes in the woods. One was at the top of a hill and we had to go down some steep slopes dodging trees to get to the chair lift.

At one point matt brought his apple pie out on the lift and wanted to eat it, but the damn thing smashed all over the place in his pocket and there was apple pie all over his checkbook and everything. We wiped it on the chair to be assholes because we were laughing so hard at how gross it looked.

Eventually Matt and I went back in to warm up. And of course, he was hungry again for these salty salty fries! They were so damn tasty. Matt bought two glass drinks and pulled them out of his pocket when he got downstairs. As he pulled them out like he was slinging guns, one came crashing to the ground shattering all over the place. Matt being the nice guy that he is, cleaned it up with the mop that the people that worked gave him.

The rest of the adventure was a lot of fun too. Check out the video of us skiing and snowboarding. Matt of course hurt himself doing a douche bag jump of which had no merit or skill.

When we got back to the cabin, we relaxed and I assisted everyone (being Johnny on the spot as someone put it) in cooking dinner. Matt was downstairs passed out. We couldnt even get him out of bed the rest of the night. But we all just drank and played cards and had fun while he slept.

The next day we chilled until about 2:30 until people finally decided to get on the snowmobiles. This was the first time I had ever ridden one. And with a few problems with the idoling of my engine and the fact that it stalled many times. It still was interesting.

Eventually we relaxed and warmed up and then went out again, but this time we brought a gun to shoot at popcans. This was also the first time that I ever shot a gun. I totally forgot to cover my ears when the first round came out and my ears were ringing. I shot probably an entire clip out and hit the can many times. It was very interesting to shoot a gun and it prompted me to think about whether I would ever want a gun in my house. I am still unsure about how I feel about that.

After that, I pretty much left the house to drive home back to see Susan and her family to have a wonderful dinner. I barely made it on time because of highly dangerous winds and jerks riding on my ass. But what else is new in Michigan in the winter? Thats pretty much life for the locals. Is jerks that dont know how to be courteous in the snow.
