Leaving Seattle.

Woo. Clean Room. And I don't even get to enjoy it.


Try carrying that onto a plane.




Super deluxe potholder. Notice the sliding locking action. Sweet.

Bye bike. See you in Tennessee.









Ahhh. What great friends.

Bye Seattle.

More Trip Prep.

Stove construction.







Hey Look at that. My keens weigh 1 pound 11 ounces. How interesting.

Sleeping bag. 2 pounds 4 ounces. I'm afraid I weighed a lot of things.

Connecting the dots.

Camping out in the Backyard in Seattle.

Here's the new tent drying in the basement. A luxury that will soon not be available to me.

Bought a journal today, and a pen. Woohoo!

So you've created a Blog.

Yes. In fact I have. I'm slow to adopt the new trendy things, (cellphones fall into this category for me) but I'm thinking that a blog will be a great way to get out news of my whereabouts and exploits this summer.

My first task will be to play with photos. This blog should be super photo heavy. My idea is that even the text will be in the form of photos of my journal. We'll see how that works out. Formatting may be an issue.
