Completed: #3: Volunteer at BARN. I've been itching to get involved in this organization for about a year.

Chili Test Run
This is my deck at the moment. I’m testing outdoor chili cooking on a propane camping grill (a grill which is 30 years old and I’ve never used, might I add).

Go Horseback Riding With Kris
Also in Lake Tahoe, I went on a horseback ride with Kris and my dad, which counts toward me completing #32: Go horseback riding with Kris. Helmets were worn. Safety first.

Work at a Fast Food Chain for One Day
That’s right, folks. Goal #6 was completed this afternoon by working at a local Burger King (location undisclosed). I made sure I did this on a day where Lyssa was working and no one knew it was coming. I got to mop the whole store and I also got to checkout/give people their food. Don’t … Continue reading Work at a Fast Food Chain for One Day
