    Can't believe the 3000 KM I rode this year did not prepare me for 2 hours of bowling. I can barely walk today. How can that be?

    Got home and, like X, pretty much went straight to bed. A little dinner, made the bed, into the pjs, and bed. 8 hrs and still a little tired, but it's all good.

    Missin' the ladies already. Had a dream abt the trip where BMo3 was telling me how to make a special burner for the scented wax, and more hanging out and another ride w/ X. Lots of fun.

    Just gotta wait 'til the next mini-reunion, I suppose! (and wishing I had a camera) but all the pics up on here are going to be saved and photoshopped. Muahahahahahahaha!

    Yeah, I got home last night, didn't even unpack the car. Stumbled in, grabbed a quick 5 minute shower (Jen would be so pleased, only 5 minutes) and crawled directly into bed. Slept like the dead for 8 hours and I'm still tired... we should do this again real soon. (Next time I may fly though. )

    Here's the final trip mileage on the Jeep.


    A few extra pics too...
    Jen baking in the kitchen...


    Kit - mtb babe extraordinaire


    Cincinnati (edit: Jen says I was no where Cincy - it's columbus. D'oh!)


    Cincinnati... (edit: nope still Columbus... ) I wouldn't advise trying a shot like this while driving, talking on the cell and shooting pics out the back window I loved the perspective though...


    A few more pics later when I have time. Anyone wanting to see Kit flicking me the bird as she lands in Ohio, PM me on that one. It's fuzzy but not fuzzy enough to be able to post on TE. (ya punk!)
    Well, back to reality now. Gotta go to work. Blech.

    see ya TD! Have a blast today and be safe...

    X.

    When the heck did you go to Cinci? I know you are directionally challenged and all. You passed Dayton and Columbus...

    Mimi,
    I just need to know when and how she managed to get there. My kids, especially the twins, loved both of them. They are already planning family trips to PA and OR.

    Hmmm, maybe it was Columbus... I dunno. All of Ohio looks the same to me, flat. I'll check my map and figure out where I was then.
    Now since you corrected me on that one, I have another pic to post before work...

    Notice who's done first?


    see ya

    Get to work! No more pics of me. Computer monitors around the globe will crack. That is Columbus.
