So we finally unloaded the moving truck into storage and returned it (not back across country, but locally). Once that was complete, then we packed to head to the cabin in Northwest Maine...

Here we are unpacking at the cabin.... had to use the chainsaw just to get to it... stupid wind in the winter knocks down too many trees...



The next morning we went to check out the beach after doing some work on the cabin's foundation, and noticed the Moose tracks on the beach... a calf and a cow moose... Looks like the bull moose had a productive fall...

After that we just relaxed a bit and tried to spot moose on the lake...

And we spotted some moose on the lake, but they were too far away for any good pictures...

And of course it got a little chilly that night and he made me split the wood for the wood stove... I STILL have blisters, but now the muscles I use for swinging my stick are much stronger...

Most of the next few days will be spent looking for a job, so we can start playing hockey again... I am starting to get out of shape...

So we only made it as far as Portsmouth NH on our way to Maine today.... a little over 13 1/2 hours of driving... I be thinking he is very tired....

Here, while somewhere in New York, I get to ride up front and this time I get to see what is going on...

BUT..... Little did I know... I think he is trying to get rid of me.... I am Canadian and here without a passport or a visa.... Notice the organization name on the side of the SUV... and here all this time
I thought we were tight....

That will do it for now.... I should have more later on....

A Cavalier on a Lake....

It used to be known as the Mistake on the Lake in the sports world... but as his sister-in-law informs me, that is no longer the case... With the Senior PGA Tour playing 8 blocks from their house, the Cavaliers playing in the NBA conference finals... This is no longer a mistake...

Only 6 hours of uneventful driving today.... I didn't even get out of the bag until his nieces wanted to take turns wearing me.. They are cute.... a little annoying at times, but what small child isn't... Here they are all goofy right before they start complaining that its too early for bed time... Sophie, Gracie and Zoe (from left to right)...


That will be enough for now... tomorrow Its a full day of driving and then another day after that...

Indiana.

Relaxed a little and spent more than 8 hours in a single place... We hung out with his niece and her husband in Indianapolis Indiana.... relaxed and watched a movie... I think he fell asleep half way though it...


Tonight, its Cleveland Ohio and the three headed blond monster called his nieces...

Here we are on the road... Day two... And I have to tell you that he is absolutely NUTS!!!! 15 hours or driving with no stops and 830 miles.... but I am still clear headed enough to make some observations...

Here, I noticed that even with gas prices going up, and the public still recovering from the $4 a gallon last summer, they still waste gas like I waste slap shots... easy and constant... (See the flame?)


But I am glad to say... not more than 100 miles away from the gas flame.... A Wind Farm... Someone there is starting to get it... .


Pronghorn Antelope.... Where the hell is my rifle when I need it....


This is either a really cool tribute to Wile E. Coyote or some one is paying the worlds largest dog to be a statue impersonator.....


Rosenblat Stadium in Omaha Nebraska.... The college World Series is played here...


This is the "Water Tower" for the town of York..... I don't remember if it was in Iowa or Nebraska... but don't they know what the Rainbow means????


So this is from a rest stop just west of Lincoln Nebraska... how convenient to have a place to dump the body right on the highway.... I wanted to go diving for body's, but he insisted on driving some more......


Some River in Iowa.... I am not sure what one it is.... I was getting sleepy by now...


That's is for say two..... off to Indianapolis to scare... er.... Play with baby Joel...

On the road....

So I made it out of Utah... I may have Kevlar in my shell, but you should see this guy drive.... I even had to put my seat belt on.... Tomorrow I think I should drive...


We did make it to a hotel in Rawlins Wyoming.... I got a chance to relax and catch some TV in the hotel..... then the cheap jerk wont spring for Porn...


But i guess i will survive... If you see this truck on the road, avoid it.... he drives like crap...

I should have some more pictures tomorrow.... hoping to make it to some where in eastern Iowa....

My First Adventure

OK... you caught me. Its not my first adventure. But I am now making them more public.

I am a Goalie's Hockey Mask. I protect my owner when he plays hockey. Sometimes he plays well, sometimes he doesn't, and sometimes he is a complete sieve.

He left his job in Utah today, and is heading back to Maine to be closer to his family.... and this time he is letting me come along for the ride instead of being stuffed in that smelly hockey bag...

Today he took me to work on his last day, notice he is making me work harder than he is...


But I did get to school him on the basket ball court..... he plays hockey... not hoops...


Then they took us out to eat at Fudrucker's.... They challenged me to eat the 1Lb Burger, but there is no way I could do it.... a couple of the gorillas were able to do it though...


But he did let me flirt with some of the young ladies at his last job... Notice BOTH grins....


It should be an interesting trip back to Maine.... I will keep everyone updated with photos and stories about the trip....
