I've Moved

For those of you who have been following my blog, of which I still think there are a few, the latest update in my life is a move into a house. Yes, I am still in Kentucky, living, working, climbing, but the hostel life became too much, too expensive with no personal time. So, the end result was a move into a house behind the hostel, a house that required many hours of labor to render liveable, but has finally become so. We still have mice and set traps every night, we have a non-functional fridge and no hot water.. details to be worked out.. however, Jake and i have a space that is hours and we can say goodbye to the hostel and leave at the end of the day.
So, more details and pictures to follow.

The new truck.. Pretty cool that it turns into a convertible. Check out the other pics on my photo album.
I just figured out how to blog these photos, so I may play catch-up for those of you who don't go to my photo album.

4-Runners and dog treats

So, today was an interesting day in Kentucky. Who would have thought a trip to Arby's and the bank could be so profitable for a dog. I'm not sure what it is about down here, must be the small town.. but, at both the Arby's and the bank, they returned our food and cash with 2 dog bones for Whipper.. Talk about customer service..
Well, then to top off the day, Jake bought a Toyota 4-Runner. His Buick is about to die and a good deal came up, so after having it checked out at the mechanics, it was ours. I have yet to drive it, but Motherload hill here I come.. It will need some tweaking, but big enough to sleep and perfect for road-tripping.. I know, I'm already on a road-trip, but there is more to come..
Pics of our new ride to follow when it's daylight..
Oh yes, and climbing is finally going better. I'm starting to feel strong and got on something I had sent at the end of the fall and did pretty well. And, who can complain spending a hot and sunny 90 degree day on a Tuesday paddling down the river with a bunch of friends. Life is grand.
