Seasons

While I do enjoy winter, spring is a whole lot of fun. You can still do winter sports like snowboarding, skiing etc, but then the door to summer fun is open as well. Mary and I just got back from a fun 40 minute motorbike ride, and we are planning on doing some more rock climbing in the very near future. My Bike needs a bit of work, and I think that some new steering head bearings, as well as a valve adjustment and carb tuning is going to take place in the very near future. I would like to document that work and post it on this blog, so keep coming back and there might be some pictures on the horizon.

It is Sushi time, so I have to run for now.... check in later folks!

projects by the wayside

I haven't really been doing much in the way of projects lately. I think that the cold weather really saps my enthusiasm for working on the cars and bikes, and the only things I really do are: eat, sleep, work and sometimes go snowboarding.. I think that once cabin fever sets in a little further, i will tackle the closet renovation project that I have been thinking about doing for quite some time now. Mary will be happy to have a closet that she can actually work with if I ever get around to it. Until then, we are happy to just hang out and play scrabble, watch movies and make yummy food to eat!
till next time, folks!

Weekend of snowboarding

With Mary out at the movies on Friday night I hunkered down at home and tuned my snowboards, and watched a documentary about Troy Bayliss. Any documentary about motorcycle racing that is narrated by Ewan McGregor must be pretty good right? Saturday, I ventured over to my friend Kevin's house and met up with him and his buddy Rich. We headed out to Hunger mountain and slogged our way up. It was a long haul, and I would have really suffered if I didn't have the both of them breaking trail for me the whole way up. Riding down was a blast. There was quite a bit of fresh snow, and some great lines through the trees. We hung out for a bit back at Kevin's house and then I hopped back home to have a quick shower and go out to dinner with Mary and our friend Angela. We had a great dinner at Sweetwaters, and then home for some much needed sleep.

Today, Mary and I went snowboarding at Sugarbush. We rode an afternoon half day at Mount Ellen. The snow was good, but the powder was well ridden and the choppy conditions were a challenge for Mary. She handled it well and added another skill to her repertoire. We watched some movies on netflix and now it is time for bed..

mouth to mouth!

I think it is time for me to resuscitate my blog..
Christmas and New Years were filled with family and fun, and Mary and I have even made it out snowboarding a few times this season. We got a new snail for our fish tank! Mary got a Subaru to replace her Golf... Everybody is healthy, happy and looking towards a good year...
More later!
