tsa is your friend

i'm sure tsa wondered what the hell a flat piece of 10 cast iron was doing in a suitcase.
turns out it's nothing more exciting than a recent find at the lodge outlet in pigeon forge, tn. but i'm sure they had to see for themselves.

other than that our flying experience was totally uneventful, albeit tiring as usual. so this time around we got to go to cincy, slc salt lake city, and of course lovely medford.

i was sure glad to be outta that plane by the time we got to medford.

sure is good to be back in the rogue valley, and see all the mountains again. i sure have gotten used to them.

one little bitchfest: why the hell is all the food at slc sooo expensive? hey not all of us can afford to spend $9 on lunch, dawg. ended up getting around it, but it took some serious effort.
