Sometimes we go to Moab and H has to work. That's what happened the last weekend we went down. We'd planned to go Thursday, taking Friday off, but deadlines didn't allow it and we drove down Friday afternoon instead. (When H let the people he was dealing with know that he would be unavailable for four hours that afternoon/evening, they were all, are you kidding? Like it is inconceivable to city folks that there are place where you can't be online - like whilst driving through Price Canyon and the desert, for example).
So H was pretty much tied to his computer all weekend. He was able to get out for a trail run Saturday and Sunday, and I dragged him off for a Woody's beer Saturday late afternoon, but other than that, he didn't get to have much fun.
Milton and I managed to enjoy ourselves a bit more. Saturday we went out for a Pipe Dream/Pipeline trail loop. We didn't leave until 8:30 a.m., however, and it ended up being a little too warm for M with the strong sunshine (6 miles). On Sunday, we went to Millcreek a bit earlier. There were lots of nice dogs to meet and Milton got snacks from three different people. He also played chase with another dog towards the end of the hike and very much overdid it. We just hung out at home for the rest of the day, reading, and it was very pleasant in the shade.
Since we hadn't gotten to take Friday off, we took Monday instead. Sort of. While H worked, Milton and I did a three+ mile town walk to give him some space. And as soon as we got back to SLC Monday afternoon, H got back on the phone/computer. Oh well. Sometimes it happens, and it hasn't happened much recently, so we're grateful for that.
