Dorf goes skiing

With school not starting for a few more days, I decided to take a ski adventure into the mountains.  The plan was to drive up FR 517 until the snow stopped the truck and skin from there.  Also part of the plan was to build a snow shelter, camp for the night, skin up some more and [...]

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. [...]

Woofs

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 [...]

For the life of me I can’t understand why anyone would ever go with a 4.7.

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 [...]

In a few months looking forward to 60 miles, 6 of the tallest peaks in the range, countless lakes, minimal supplies, a notepad, and days to myself.  It’ll be interesting to see how fast I can run away.

Got my Census today….this is going to be great.  Wherever I go my Census will go with me.  Reminds me of the days of My Buddy. Wherever I go, my Census and Me!!!…..My Census won’t be used for “counting every man, woman, and child.”  Instead I’ll utilize it as toilet paper, a napkin, a coffee [...]

Pretty sure this guys blood looks like everyone else’s.  Dude, thanks for the laughs, but grow up.

I don’t think of myself as brilliant, skolarly (intentionally misspelled), or anything other than ordinary.  Proudly though, I think I have common sense.  The sense to make decisions, solve problems and function in everyday society.  Sadly, though, with everyday I encounter more stupid people. The image of the Far Side cartoon of the guy pushing [...]

I’d take Michael Keaton making inappropriate advances to ladies any day over this guy on my doorstep.

Was going to ollie over it but was riding the tandem…So I went with a no hand tail whip with a can can to get around this guy.

No mas tweets

I’ve been clean for about 3 days now.  No not the nose snow, I’m talking about Twitter.  I hopped on board in early 08 thanks to a recommendation from a friend in the biz.  At first, like succeeding in cook offs it all seemed foreign to me.  But soon I was throwing out “tweets” like a Shriner [...]

No I’m not talking about lining my roof with 50K in solar panels so I can save 1k a year in power.  I’m setting out on foot and leaving this world behind…at least for 6 days.  Destination is wherever my machete guides me.  I’ll likely be battling apex predators atop granite cliffs while a storm [...]
