So they've repealed the 9/80 schedule at LANL as of August 30th. So I have three more three-day weekends including this one, and I plan to make the most of them. Nina and I are out the door right now to go up to Colorado and do some backpacking.

The plan is to hike up to Willow Lake just north of Great Sand Dunes National Park and make camp. In the morning, we're going to try to climb Kit Carson Mountain. This will be Nina's first 14er. Sunday, maybe we'll visit the sand dunes.

Extended Weekends 2 and 3 have not yet had their plans finalized, but I plan to make them extraordinary. Wish me luck.
