After 5 years and 6 days, I got rid of my Isuzu Trooper this past Friday evening. It’s had a number of problems over the past year, and it just go to the point where I was tired of throwing money at it, just to keep it running. After replacing the brakes last summer and [...]

Interesting weekend, coming to a close … went out to dinner with a great friend on Thursday night for some yummy goodness at Squatters downtown, then a quiet day at work on Friday. Saturday was supposed to be a ski day, but unfortunately, the tiny little headache I woke up with on turned into a [...] Once again, it’s that time of year … time to sit back and reflect on all that I am thankful for. Work continues to chug along. The bet that I made that our stock would rebound last fall has paid off nicely … I lowered my average cost significantly, and my portfolio is above water [...] Wow, have I been lax on posting anything original lately. As often happens, life has taken a few unexpected turns and I just haven’t really gotten around to it. For the past several months, I was dating a really incredible woman. Unfortunately, it was a long-distance relationship and the 800 miles of separation became too [...] View Ascent activity on 31-Oct-09 at 06:37AM in a larger map A ride is a ride, right? Had to take the Trooper to the shop on Saturday to get the clutch replaced … but also had to get to Wheeler Farm for UTCX #5 … so, dropped off the Trooper, then rode the fixed-gear down [...] Man, am I tired … and I didn’t even race this weekend! The double weekend started on Saturday at Rocky Mountain Raceway, and Marek Shon (of Cyclesmith) designed an incredibly difficult course including sections of the motocross course. Steep run up (dubbed The Pride Killer) leading into a hairpin descent under a bridge into [...] So after yesterday’s ride, I was pretty much wiped out in the evening … was thinking about going to bed about 9:00, when I get a tweet from the Reverend Big Ring, who was at the Bayou quaffing Chimay with his lovely fiancée Rachel, the Husla (who of course was not drinking), and a few [...] Picked up a new toy on Friday evening; and spent a good chunk of Saturday reading manuals. It’s definitely (and quite obviously) more complicated than my point and shoot, but also more so than my old Nikon N4004 35mm film camera. Current lenses are my old AF Nikkor 50mm f1.8 prime, an old AF [...] I am so flippin’ uninspired right now it’s unbelievable. I know some really incredible people (both old friends, and what I hope turns out to be new ones as well), and yet I find myself falling into old patterns, old habits, old modes of thinking. Sitting on the couch (hmm … maybe I should have [...] What an incredible day at Solitude and in Big Cottonwood Canyon in general … simply gorgeous! Sick pow in Honeycomb Canyon, which completely worked my legs. Tried several new (for me) runs, including the Cirque (coming off Powderhorn), Serenity (coming off Eagle Express) and Rhapsody (also off Eagle Express), hitting as many runs through the [...] |
