Friday I accomplished something I've been meaning to do for a couple of years now. In fact I had started a journey a while back and bailed halfway through. Yes, I'm talking something of great life importance here. I finally circled the entire thumb of Michigan on my motorcycle. If you've ever met someone from here, when they tell you where they're from they always hold their hand up and point where their town is located. The lower part of Michigan somewhat resembles a mitten so this method usually works pretty well. Well I took Friday afternoon off, and began a 300 mile journey across farmland, beachland, and forests. Pretty cool ride, for most of the trip you're riding along lake Huron, which was absolutely awesome. I also stopped off on several little sidetrips along the way which was entertaining. At the end of the trip though, I was so sore, I couldn't stand to be on that bike another second. Overall it was a 7 hour ride. You can see some of the highligts, the big cow was the best.

On another motorcycle related topic, I finally sold my old bike. I used Craigslist.com for the first time and am here to sing its praises. For those of you unfamiliar with craigslist, its basically a huge online classified add, which is tailored for your metropolitan community. Well anyway, I put the bike up last Sunday, and by Monday afternoon I had already received 3 or 4 calls. By Tuesday night the bike was sold for 200 bucks more than I bought it for, over two years ago. It was the most painless transaction I've ever gone through when selling something, I highly recommend it.

Saturday, my buddy Mike had his annual Hokie/GM/Corvette barbeque. A very interesting group of people by the way. The party consisted of Virginia Tech people, along with people from work, and a large group of people from his local corvette club. Great weather, and we even managed to get in some semi-competive volleyball (semi, being the key word in the past sentence). Mike also got a keg, which we all drank, but only he seemed to induldge in, which made for some good entertainment at the end of the evening. Our buddy Jason, also brought over his 1948 Buick, which was his dad's first ever car. Pretty cool . The Corvettes also provided a little entertainment of their own.

Went to a very cool car show over the weekend. It was for the Detroit Institute of Opthalmology, and had some very rare cars all the way from back in the 1930's up to current generation concept cars. It was on the ground's of the Edsel Ford Estate, which was absolutely beautiful. Edsel was Henry Ford's only son, so he had a little money, and actually became president of Ford at the age of 27.
A Cadillac Sixteen, gorgeous

They certainly don't make em like this anymore, some sixteen year old would have this sucker off in like two minutes in any parking lot. This was a Pierce Arrow by the way.
This is the eight oldest Volkswagon Bug known to exist, kind of ugly, but cool non the less.One of the most georgeous paint jobs I have ever seen in my life, this guy did all his own work, wouldn't do it on my own car, but still outstanding.

My buddy Allen's car, a Subaru WRX, that he's sunk 80k into. Why would someone do this? Very cool licsence plate, probably wouldn't work on the Saab though.
