It’s that time of year again. It’s our annual pilgrimage. Just as the grizzlies of Yellowstone migrate to the upper elevations of the Absaroka in search of hearty pine nuts before winter takes hold, we humans too have a migration. Our migration comes in many forms but the end result is the same. Planes, trains, [...]

At the expense of throwing the defibrillator at this blog (see last post) I have to say that 7am MST is way too early to be using a plunger. A Folgers induced Vesuvius rocked the early morning silence on my block. It’s just as well though, I couldn’t sleep in. I had dreams of wolves and bears. [...]

I’m a trusting guy. So when I see a trail on a map I tend to believe it exists in real life. Although I should of known better seeing it was put together by a government entity. Bottom line, I lost the trail at no fault of my orienteering skills (I think) and ended up [...]
Stoked to hear there are woofs where I ride. Probably will spend the weekend riding the foothills using a lamb shank as my seat cushion. I’m currently in a wind tunnel designing a helmet whose air turbulence causes the high pitched whine of a dying coyote. My first assumption was that this was the a [...]
My appetite for something extraordinary makes my stomach groan like an engine trying to turn over. Obviously I haven’t been putting the right kind of fuel in my engine. It sits stalled out in a pasture with the grasses slowly growing and creeping. The cranial engine sits rusting, grasses slowly reclaiming it, never to run [...]

It’s May, the birds are chirping, flower are bloomin, and it’s time to go skiing this morning. On the snow by 8 I toured up a ridge. A veritable ghost-town. No other cars on the highway and no snowmobiles to be heard. I had the mountains to myself. About 200 yards up the hill I [...]

Every now and then you have a ride that you’ll remember for a while. A ride when the weather, the bike, the stamina, and the setting all kick some serious ass. My DIY projects were thwarted by faulty plumbing parts. The 80 degree partly cloudy weather also curb stomped my home improvement ambition. A few [...]

I got owned last night. My closet dropped me like a call on an AT&T cellie. Apparently I still put on my sweats like a 5 year old. I set them on the ground, put each foot in, grab the waist band. Then I squat down building tension. In a sudden move I burst [...]

Same Day Headlines #1

With the world economy and politics in a state of flux I always get a kick out of the morning headlines when I turn on my computer. Of course you can’t believe everything you read on the internet but the beauty of it is headlines either compliment or contradict one another. In the same day you’ll [...]
