We had a nice second week in Kentucky. On Wednesday we took off to Metropolis to visit Harrah’s Casino. We stayed here for a couple lost a few bucks, had lunch, and came back. I have been going out on my walks everyday trying to get back in shape and grab some photos.

Today we stayed around the house and watched the Saints destroy the Cardinals. I ordered JJ and I a couple shirts that benefit the city of New Orleans from Louisiana Online Mall. They are supposed to be delivered before next week’s game. Tomorrow is church and then hopefully will watch the Vikings beat the Cowboys.(Sorry Seth)

Here are some photos from the past couple of days.

I have been trying to get some cardio everyday to keep my goals for Project 35(basically to lose 35lbs this year).  I usually start walking around 1 or 2 and walk/hike for an hour or two.  Every time I go out I see something unexpected. On Wednesday’s walk, I ran across a few turkeys, a bunch of woodpeckers, some whitetail deer, and a pair of bald eagles. The deer ran away too quickly for me to get a shot of them.

I have been chasing this Red Headed Woodpecker all around the lake trying to get a shot.

When I got back, we realized that I had turned off the faucets in our bathroom last night.  The pipes froze up and so my grandfather and I hooked up a shop vac on reverse to blow hot air into the paneling that holds the pipes.  It was totally my fault but he took it all in stride.  Luckily, the pipes did not burst. It took us about an hour to unfreeze the pipes.

We got some snow on Thursday and today and I will post some more photos later. My grandmother is calling me into the kitchen for something that she has cooked. I swear I am going to gain 20lbs this month. Project 35 may turn into project 75.
