Choose your own adventure.

The road goes on forever and the ADVENTURE never ends.

He knows a guys who used to work with a guy who knows a guy I know that set up a booth at this swap I also did that always goes to midohio and has a barn full of.......

For better or worse, old Japanese motorcycles are the glue that holds a strange subculture of dudes in their 20's to 80's together in Indiana and the Midwest.

Who do you know?

The quickest 2 hour drive is the one down to Awbreys.

Somewhere on 50, 58, 135.......

Going 50 or 60 through 35mph turns.

In an insight.  Is still fun.

 Connections.

Get rid of one of the 100 stupid froyo places in town and GIVE ME THIS!!!

Powder hop<+>Skate stop

Quick trip to southern Indiana.

 Awbrey's powder coating.

Family owned small business.

 Had to stop at the rainbow bakery on the way back.

Third weekend in 4 I have been to this place. 

It's not a good thing when the donut shop guy recognizes you. (When you live an hour away)

It's been 7 years since I lived in Bloomington.

It was interesting to see some of the same kids (grown up) at the park.

Couldn't have asked for a better skate day.

 Tshirt in November.

Sunny Sundays

Found the secret to the fluff.

Barber 2013 Volume 1

"BI's"

It all starts with the decision to make the trip.

7.5 hours one-way.  1000 miles plus round trip.

Sometimes there are tough decisions to be made.

BAD IDEAS

Chemical vegan.

My tongue is still slightly burned from the mixing of...whatever the hell is in this processed crap.

Bad Idea #1

The full of anticipation trip through Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee to Alabama wasn't too bad.

This guy decided to throw his cards in at the final hour.

Thanks for not letting me go alone.

It was 3:30?  4:30?  

I don't remember.  

2 hours of "sleep" above the battery.

Just before we rode through Birmingham and into the swap at 7:30 on Friday morning.

Bad Idea #2

 Fast Forward 12 hours.

It is time to drive home.

Delirious doesn't begin to describe the state we were both in.

Sunburns in October.

Swap meet high.

Road trip sore.

My little Insight is not made for the hills of the deep south.

Edith.  

You will be missed.

Boobie Bungalow?

Everybody else's bad idea.

 Bad Idea #5 or so?

No lard, so full of "flavor."

 Bad Idea #6

 Bad Idea #7

 Bad Idea #8

The only redeeming quality of this food was that it was hot. 

Kind of.

Just outside Nashville?

 Bad Idea #9

Only "let" this dude drive for an hour or so.

 Justin's PB cups to the rescue.

Damn, I look old.

Bad Idea #10

Bad Idea #11.....

....was deciding to drive home after all that.

The last 2 or 3 hours consisted of Zac playing Queen.

I sang in Japanese as best I could.

Gonna start a youtube channel.

Or not.

This post itself was probably a bad idea.

Swap, Paddocks, and Grounds posts coming soonish.

Yogurt

170+

Time to let them go.

Peanut butter and apples

Unfamiliar places

I rode my bicycle to Whole Foods yesterday....

I stopped at the river to reflect....

and remembered how close to the skatepark this is

Sunset

I grew up with a good sized creek in my front yard

 ..and the Wabash river in the woods in my backyard

As a kid I spent a lot of time at the water's edge

Making boats to float down it

Looking for snakes, frogs, fish and crawdads....

 It's strange to remember those feelings and sounds as an adult

I can't help but hope that if I ever have a family, my children will get to experience the same thing

and not just on weekend visits to the grandparent's house........

I am glad this wasn't plugged in

Moyou needs a friend during the day--no amount of chew toys can prevent this...

Parent teacher conferences till 8 tomorrow....that is a 14 hour day folks..... 

Going to miss first Thursdays at Thai Taste again so I made my own green curry tonight

The new normal.........

B for L

"The haunted man"

Monday night

Dinner and a movie....

I meant dinner and lathe.....

Secret sauce?

No, not really

Mmm...Seitan......

 Doesn't look as good as it was.......

I could eat this every night

 These eyes kill me

My little horse

She can always tell what is going on in my head

 "You are not following protocol!"

-Moyou

Preparing for the sissy bar

4.5mm wide 6mm I.D. spacers to welding it to

Hope I have time to clean up some welds...

..and start taking care of this ugliness tomorrow.
