Mueller Park Snowshoe

View Ascent activity on 15-Jan-11 at 09:15PM in a larger map

Forgot to turn the GPS off after we got back to the cars. Ooops. Then a few games of pool, a round of Frisbee Golf, and nice long soak in the hot tub with a large cocktail. Now my head hurts. That’s just not [...]

Valley snow in September …

Looks like we’re gonna have us some cyclocross weather for the first race of the Utah Cyclocross Series tomorrow up in Ogden.

That’s snow falling in the pictures below. My thermometer is indicating 35 degrees outside right now; and while tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and warmer (mid-60s for the high), it ought to [...]

More moving …

Got the word today that the divorce papers are almost ready for me to sign before they get filed … and oddly enough, I’m feeling a sense of relief rather than despair.

One friend is likening the process to ripping off a Band-Aid quickly, so the wound can heal. That seems like a really good [...]

Apparently, I am crazy … but it’s so worth it.

As planned, went snowshoeing last night with Steve W., Amy A., Jenny A., and Dan & Karen N., up at Mueller Park, in Bountiful. The temperature was 11 when we started, about 7:30; not sure if it got any colder while we were up there or not. Out about 2 hours, not sure how far [...]

Am I Crazy?

Friday night, when the forecast is calling for highs in the teens, and near-zero lows, I’m planning on going on a snowshoe in Mueller Park, up near Bountiful, on Friday night.

Looks like a trip to REI for a headlamp and some hand and toe warmers may be in order!

It’s gonna be fuckin’ cold, [...]

Snowshoeing at Snowbasin

Met Steve W. and lovely wife Amy up at Snowbasin today for a little snowshoe, while their kids were taking ski lessons.

We did about 3 miles, up some fairly steep hills (much steeper than Mill Creek Canyon), and in deep powder … at one point, I was able to plunge my poles (with powder [...]

Millcreek Snowshoe …

Went for a nighttime snowshoe outing with the Mistress, Cutthroat Jenny, and Indohran/Slohran (who pretty much went out on his very first snowshoe excursion tonight).

Not only was this Slohran’s first outing on snowshoes, but he went out and bought snowshoes and boots today before giving the whole thing a try. This means, of course, [...]

Good to be home …

It is so good to finally be back home … and yes, Utah is now my home.

My trip to Arizona was mentally draining in so many ways that I’ve not even been able to think about anything to post since I’ve been back … just trying to clear my head and get re-centered.

Plan [...]

Catching Up …

Another day, another week done. Communication day yesterday wasn’t too bad … when it comes to basic raises, it wasn’t as good as I was hoping, but wasn’t as bad as I was expecting. MS did announce a small bonus (on top of our normal annual ESOP match), of which I will be putting 10% [...]

A pretty good day …

So yesterday was the final race in the Utah Cyclocross Series; dropped out again … shoulder still bothering me from my crash last week, and between the emotional rollercoaster I’ve been on, and the gunfire from the freaks dressed in buckskins and coonskin caps doing target practice into the Sand Hill, my head just wasn’t [...]
