So, I am at work today. Nothing special. Suddenly my day turned VERY special. This guy rolls up (he is actually the relative of a co-worker) in his skiing suit, helmet, goggles, ski boots and fanny pack. He had just returned from some "speed skiing" at Snowbird. This guy was for real too, he was not just a jack-ass goofing around. He drove up and back with his ski boots on! I am not sure if any of you have tried to do that before but it is insane. I tried it once in the Solitude parking lot and almost careened into the river. He just stopped by to drop off his 205cm "speed skiing skis" and say hi. I just thought I would share this with you. My friend happened to have his iphone at work and emailed it to me. enjoy.
For those of you living in a cave, Alta is the greatest skiing on the planet. It has the best snow, great terrain and plenty of out-of-towners to admire as you cruise by. Here is one such sea-level dwelling creature preparing to tackle one of the most feared and daunting obstacles that Little Cottonwood has to offer...the rope tow! Enjoy:
So, if you avid readers of this here blog will remember, I had one of my mountain bikes stolen about a month and a half ago. That was not sweet. Luckily we have insurance and I was able to collect from them and build me a new bike. I bought the frame and am piecing it together a little every night. I love doing this stuff but Jessi is at the end of her rope, I am positive that if she hears, "What do you think of these handlebars?" or "Does the angle of the brake levers look right to you?" she just might punch me in the neck. Thanks Jessi for your patience and indulging me in bike talk when you could care less, you are truly a saint. Here she is in all her glory! I will put another picture up when I am finally finished, because I am sure you are all sitting on the edge of your seats in anticipation...
Since I was a pup I have always loved football. Just something about it makes me smile. I enjoy the college game, but I really love the NFL, in particular the Philadelphia Eagles. I always have. As I was driving home from work yesterday (that's right, I was only 1 of 3 people in the world working on Easter Sunday) I heard the news that the eagles traded Donovan McNabb to washington. I promptly pulled over at the closest Tesoro station and continued to weep like I lost a son. After I woke up and it really settled in. I have come to a conclusion, I am officially turning my fan card in. I will no longer associate myself with Philadelphia in anyway. It hurts me to say that, but it is how I feel. From this day forward I will be pulling for the Buffalo Bills. Lets go Bills!
