Ice, comedy, skateboarding, cold

The ice, snow, and cold has been trying to keep us down lately, but we won't let it.  The fires have been burning in the garage, the ramp has been being skated, and there seems to be so much going on every night.  I finally have a car that I can drive distances and not have to worry about using a weeks pay to get there.  I am again, a mini van man.  

the photo doesn't do it justice but the smoke was trying to come out the door but the draw wouldn't let it.

Souper Bowls! Next saturday there will be an event were you can purchase bowls made by friends of Corey Jefferson to support hungry folks.  Its a pretty cool idea.  I am always interested in what Corey has going on.

Sorry about the crappy photo.  Tim Wilson at the Murat.  VIP baby!

The attic is filling up.

Ramp Rules.  Fun session Saturday night with the boys.  Its cool to see what comes through Ben Ettinger's lens.  I like seeing Ben's videos, always keepin it hyphy.

Bloomington, IN got ICED.

This one goes out to da goon.  Funny I found this in bloomington where there are a lot of awesome memories with bobby.

Finally got out to the park to enjoy the snow.  I hope Georgie appreciated it, I did.

Fall Trip 2012

Every once in a while some of us Indiana boys get together and do something awesome.  This week was one of those times.  Farmer Ben came through and rallied the troops for a two van, fourteen man trip.  We hit the road on friday night as soon as we were all off work.  Louisville was our first stop.  We arrived as the session was going on.  We jumped in as well as we could but kept it going until late and then were invited to set up camp in a friend's back yard.  As soon as we set up we headed out to get some pizza at Spinellis.  In the morning we headed to Bowling Greene then on to Nashville.

I had hurt my back so I was worried I wouldn't be able to skate but I guess the three weeks off really helped.  We shredded every park and everyone had fun.  After skating was done we were awarded the best campsite in existence.  Farmer Ben had some friends outside of Nashville that had build some cabins on their farm property.  Clay and his wife were the best hosts you could ever imagine.  We had our own private campground with firepit, outhouse, cows, goats, mini horses, llamas, chickens, and the amazing Tennessee weather.

It was hard to leave in the morning.  I have been thinking for a long time now where I want to be.  I know Indianapolis is great but someday you gotta move on.  Being able to have some land and still be 10 minutes from a big city sounds ideal.  We'll see maybe someday.  Thanks again to everyone on the trip.  It was a great time and thanks to Farmer Ben for putting it all together!

The animals.  This farm was amazing.  Maybe someday this will be my life.

Clay and the boys sharing stories.

I could have listened to these two talk all day.

chilling.

Some shots of the cabins in Nashville.  This was the biggest cabin.  They found a guy that was tearing down a cabin and burning the wood.  They took it and set it up.

Every Saturday they have people come and play music here.

This was really cool.  A little breakfast nook.

The bridge.

This was my favorite part.  It looks like Clay needed a place to watch the sunrise and drink his coffee.
