A good friend of mine just released their first EP: The Dead Float.

Go check it out! http://canopy1.bandcamp.com/

I drove my first HPDE November 6-7th at the NASA Turkey Trot event at Carolina Motorsports Park. I am hooked.

To quote my driving instructor, “It is the most fun you can have with your pants on!”. I did it in an automatic transmission rental car and had no less of a great time.

We had a good time at High Falls a few weekends ago. We will be going back. The trails are great for exercise, and it sure beats the heck out of walking on a treadmill.

There are more photos here!

We ended up going to Lake Nickajack with some of Sarah’s friends over Halloween weekend. We had a good time. We got to ride on some boats see some neat stuff.

We stayed at the floating cabins at Hale’s Bar. Hale’s Bar used to be a hydroelectric dam that was used to generate power, however it has been replaced by Nickajack Dam. The powerhouse building still exists and is now used for dry dock boat storage. It is a cool, rustic place.

We rode on the lake for hours and probably saw 2 or 3 different states. If not, it seemed like it. This lake was massive. We had the opportunity of passing through the Nickajack Lock. It was an experience that everyone should have the opportunity to witness at least once.

Lake Nickajack is only miles away from Chattanooga. In fact, we ended up eating dinner at the upscale 212 Market Restaurant in downtown Chattanooga. It is considered a green restaurant and nearly all of the ingredients are produced locally. They had a full wine list, and even serve the best beer in the world, Schneider & Sohn’s Aventinus. The prices are a little high for a college student such as myself, however I felt everything was a good value for what you get. All in all, the food was superb.

So, I put a ring on that finger. It has been pretty exciting so far. I proposed to Sarah on Sept 10th, 2009 at the Botanical Gardens in Atlanta. I will let her tell you all about it.

Finally we come to a clearing, with swings and benches overlooking part of the gardens – it’s actually a very pretty spot. He turns to me and says he has something he wants to tell me.

I setup a wordpress blog just for the wedding, you can check it out here:
