Saturday's ride

Took a bike ride up to the top of Solitude Ski Resort and back early Saturday. It must have been 40 degrees and chilly. The last quarter mile of the ride to the summit was so steep, compounded by the fact my gears needed a tune-up and couldn't access my lowest gears, I ended up pushing the bike. The downhill was steep and very rocky. V crashed twice and left some blood and flesh on the hill. I want to ride the Canyons and Park City before winter.

¡No más!



I think I've officially, at age 34, kicked the case of AMVS (you know, "Adult-Male Videogame Syndrome"). Listed the xbox 360 on ksl.com and sold the device within 24 hours for $300 more than I paid for it. I don't feel any different. No withdrawals. It can be done. I guess I've logged enough hours playing Halo2 online that I've had my fill and whetted the online-gaming appetite.

In other news, I fished the Low-Pro above Sundance last week with cousin Benny. Landed 3 or 4. The Provo ain't what it used to be. Still, it was an unbelievable setting to be fishing in the shadows of Timp with a gazillion stars overnoggin.

Sunday Afternoon at the Bird


Sunday afternoon hikes at Snowbird are the best. These little guys just love chasing after the squirrels, hiding and scaring each other, and most of all--throwing rocks. Especially into water.
We discovered the rockin' new playground up there. I'm sure we'll hit the Bird several more times before snowfall.
