Woo, we’re on vacation! That’s right, the bro’s drove down from Downers Grove last night, and we’re Georgia-bound this morning. The next 8 days are to be spent hiking, fishing, swimming, canoeing, and all-around have a good time. We’ve got a few competitions laid out so far, but I think the whole week will be competitive craziness. I’m talkin’ watermelon seed spitting contest, Euchre tournament, and “who will-jump-over-the-fire-naked” bets. Anything goes this week. We are on the road in less than 35 minutes. Later, automaticable.
PS: In case you weren’t following, yes, Kyle does owe me 22.22 beers this vacation. And yes, I did make my 50 mile goal. And yes, I am doing the Chicago Half Marathon in September (more on that later). I’m not really sure what kind of beer it’ll be yet– any suggestions?

Adding to the first annaul Mountain Man Competition, Brian suggested we have a whittling competition. He actually suggested we whittle with butter knives just to make things difficult, but I think that would just be frustrating and tedious…we will handle those details later. Anyway, over the course of our week in the woods we will use whatever tools we can find to whittle the most impressive pieces of wood you have ever seen. We’ll post pictures when we get back and have a poll for whose carving is the best. Like this idea? Have your own?
Help us come up with more ideas!
How do you want to see the Wegner brothers compete over a week in the mountains? Leave your ideas in the comments. We only have a few days left, but any great ideas will have their own post created (which includes a link to your site, if you have one) and the competition photo-documented if possible.
This is open to everyone: automaticable readers, vacation attendees, random extended family members…anyone really. There is only 1 rule: no running competitions! (grrr…)
We are only a few days away from the Wegner summer vacation and it is about time I announce our first annual Mountain Man Competition. Not only am I announcing this to the folks here on automaticable, but this is the first time the other vacationers are hearing of the idea as well. If you want to help participate, make sure to read through the end of the post to find out how you can be a part of the Mountain Man Competition.
For the first aspect of the Mountain Man Competition, we are going to have a beard growing contest. I’m not sure what the state of all the participants’ facial hair is, but for everyone participating we will have a final clean shave Friday morning and document our spikey growth over the entire week. Expect a photo-blog of our facial evolution when we get back. The winner gets to bask in his (or her?) manly glory as the most masculine (and hairy) person of the bunch.
