Yes, the thing on the left is not actually a tree, it is my wife mimicking her environment in an attempt to become invisible. We had a great weekend, staying in Plattsburg on Friday night and then at a bed and breakfast in Elizabethtown for Saturday night. We went to Ausable Chasm on Saturday morning and then did a short hike up Baxter mountain in the afternoon. We had dinner in Lake Placid at one of our favorite restaurants, and then grabbed a pint of ice cream and some whoppers to bring back to the inn. Sunday, we had breakfast at the in and drove down to Slingerlands to visit with family. We hung out with relatives and stuffed ourselves with home cooked goodies, and then I slept for half the car ride, while Mary managed to make fantastic time on the throughway. I am a slow driver, but she has pretty heavy boots, so we make better time with her behind the wheel. I tend to want to stop and see stuff, get a soda, go to a yard sale, ya know all the stuff that keeps you from getting to your destination. We love visiting New York, and have high hopes to get back over there to enjoy some climbing in the Adirondacks.

Winter is a coming!
So.. My sister sent me an email today that read something to the effect that my blog was dying. it must have been some kind of reference to the fact that I have not written on here in quite some time. If anybody actually reads this blog o mine, they must be very disappointed in me. Now is when I make up excuses.... you see, I have been very busy at work, and I just come home and go to bed. Nah, that isn't very believable. How about my fish ate through my computer wiring? Okay, here is the truth. I have been goofing off, riding every chance that I get with my beautiful wife, and spending way too much time on facebook. I will try not to disappoint again.
Life is going very well, in fact. The wife and I have really been enjoying the cooler weather, and this past weekend, we lounged around, and even got around to detailing our cars! I think I managed to suck up about 5 pounds of dirt and gravel from my interior. I even found a water bottle under my seat and 87 cents. I have a few projects to attend to this weekend. I need to do some brake work on the VW Golf, and also build the wife something to hang all of her necklaces on. She thinks it is going to be made out of wood, but I am toying with the idea of using metal instead. I haven't done much welding lately:)
