Eventful Day

Wow today was a busy day.  I planned to get a lot of accomplished today, but I got caught up this afternoon when my friend came over and told me if I hadn’t already seen in it I had to watch a documentary he just watched.  It’s another 911 documentary called “Loose Change”, but the entire documentary voices every single one of my thoughts about what really happened on 911 as well as a few other things I hadn’t thought about.  If you want to check it out, it’s on Youtube.  I’ve place it on my blog, but the full version is about an hour and 29 minutes.

After Hubby got home we took off to G Vegas to pick up his bike chain from Cycle Gear, and then we had to high tail it to see his little sis.  Today’s her 13th birthday, so we had to make a big deal out of it.  A girl only becomes a teenager once!

As soon as she unwrapped her present Tom the cat decided the tissue paper was his.  While the boys played video games in the background Tom posed for a few pictures.

He wrapped up in the tissue paper…

And fell asleep on us.  Man I want Tom’s life.  He’s got it so easy!

The Trip

Little A spent most of the day with me sitting at one of the pull offs. We parked so he could watch his mama riding up and down the mountain on her motorcycle.

Allison and Hubby wanted me to grab some pictures of them so they don’t have to wait for Killboy to get their photos up, but my little Kodak point and shoot just can’t keep up with the bikes. I seriously want a DSLR!

Allison went by in a blur.

She was followed by Hubby on our friend Rodney’s ‘06 GSXR 750.

Hubby has been debating on whether to upgrade to an R1 or a GSXR 750. I think he’s definitely sold on the 750 now. He really enjoyed it.

There was definitely a good bit of traffic this weekend. On our first trip through The Gap around 10:30am there was a nice group of Mazda’s going through. I videoed the first 6 minutes of our trip through so I could have some footage of the dragon, but I didn’t get the entire 11 miles. I stopped recording when we came up on a group of slow cars that kind of put an end to the enjoyable ride (even in the Blazer). By the afternoon there was a nice group of bikes.

We also passed a total of 5 Blunt Co. and 1 THP on the way through the first time. By the time we came back with the bikes a lot of the cars had headed out to check out the other roads in the area, and THP only had 1 trooper out. The cops were pretty nice for most of the day.

We did have a little trouble at the end of the day, but the trooper was pretty nice about it. We didn’t know that there’s an age limit in Tennessee for passengers. In SC you can ride as long as you can touch the pegs, but in Tennessee you have to be 14. Allison pulled over once we got out of the curvy roads to let Little A ride with her. We passed a THP sitting on the side of the road, so instead of pulling her over he just followed her back to our friend’s house to make sure nothing went wrong. We really need to get a list together of the different laws for the different states to be sure we aren’t doing something we’re not supposed to be doing.

We ended up back at our friend’s house for a BBQ, then we loaded up last night and made it home at 1am. I didn’t take any photos at the BBQ because my camera battery didn’t want to cooperate. Hopefully my new one will be here in a couple days.

At the end of the day we grabbed a few photos at the Deal’s Gap sign.

They Don’t Call Them The Smokies For Nothing

Looks like a volcano!

To My Little Sister

Happy 23rd birthday little sis! It’s hard to believe we’ve grown from this…

It seems like only yesterday we were running around playing dress up in silly little costumes getting into trouble annoying the hell out of each other!

Now you’ve become this!

 

You still annoy the hell out of me (like little sisters should), but I love you, and you’re still my Britt Brat! Happy Birthday!

Now you just need to tell me what you’d like for your birthday because you know I haven’t bought your gift yet.  I don’t have a clue what to buy you anymore!

Freddie The Pyro Strikes

Yes, Freddie tried to burn the house down tonight. Who is Freddie?

This is Freddie…

Freddie is my best friend’s snake. She’s had him for about a month, and tonight he took his chances on his first cage escape. In the process Freddie set the house on fire.

On his way out of his cage, he knocked his heat lamp over onto the living room floor. My friend came upstairs to find the living room full of smoke and the carpet burning.

Way to go Freddie!

Freddie is still AWOL at the moment, but we’re hoping he’ll come out of hiding sometime tonight.
