When Ian is dead set on something, its pretty near impossible to talk him out of it. Take this motorcycle for instance...
Last weekend we took our Intrigue, which was on its last leg, and drove it up to Indy to trade it for a motorcycle. Ian is now the proud owner of his own motorcycle, and I'm glad we bought it off of his dad rather than some stranger. The downside of this transaction was the fact that we were trading in the car, meaning the only way home for me was on the back of the motorcycle. My first big trip was less than comfortable. It was a beautiful sunny day to ride and we didn't have any major incidents. All I am saying is, I'll never do it again.

A hoosier return
I made a trip home this weekend. No reason really, just wanted to see the family. Highlights of the trip include meeting Vernie Verndog-Millionaire Madeoff Huff, visiting Klayton and Molly's apartment and school studios and such, hanging out with Dad at his work, filling in the right-center field position for Kalow's beer league softball game, hanging out with Mom and getting my hair done, visiting Renae, hanging out with Mozie and Lumpy Lucy, the list could just keep going on and on so I will stop it. I'm glad I got to visit and sorry I couldn't stay longer. Ian and Neit managed to survive without me, mostly on frozen pizzas I believe. I returned to Hokieville and am back in the swing of things again. Now we get to look forward to all of YOU coming to visit us the summer.
High above the clouds. I thought it was a neat picture
Visiting Klayton at his workshop. Klayton and a kiln for ceremics and such
I snuck a picture of Dad when he was working hard at work
Playtime for Mozie and Vernie
It was a good day for an oil change
Trying to get both Susie and Vernie to look at the camera was no easy task...here no one is looking
Susie is looking but not Vernie
Vernie is looking but not Susie
This could have gone on all day, you guys. I finally just gave up.
Kalow and Vernie leaving. Adious! See you next time!

Dragons Tooth
My apologies for not posting on our adventures a few weekends back. We went to a little hiking trail called Dragon's Tooth when the weather was nice a few Saturday's ago. This is probably the toughest trail we have done in the area. It meets up with the Appalachian Trail about a mile into it, so this was our first hike on the AT (I'm sure it won't be the last). It is pretty tame for the first 3/4 of the ascent, and then you hit the rocky area. It is necessary that you use both hands and feet to hoist yourself up and over quite a few areas and even do a tiny bit of climbing. It was actually a LOT of fun and worth the work when we saw the view from the top. I don't know if we regret taking Neit with us this time or not, especially since we had to hoist him up to get over some of the rockier terrain, but I think we would do it again. And now...the pictures...

Very good. I also need to post my stuff from my visit home this weekend. Get excited, I am posting another one immediately.
