Here's a video from yesterday. Testing out a new ski pole mount for the video camera:

Ski day!

Well, the view counters say people are still reading this, so I think it's high time for an update.
Yesterday was the first of several ski days the kids get this season. The Pagosa Springs homeschool group lets us join with them on their group days. The kids get a 1/2 day (whole day if they want it) lesson, equipment rental, and full lift ticket for some ridiculous price ($20.00?) It actually makes skiing affordable...
We had a great day and even though it was 9º in town, it was 24º up at the mountain and warmed up even more throughout the day. After their morning lesson, the twins really wanted to get poles which they don't use for the lessons. I said 'sure' so they ran off to get some from the rental place and then proceeded to use them for a perceived speed advantage while tucking down all the trails. Here's some video of the action:

Not sure if this will work? Posting a video I put up on FaceBook last night:

Dirt bike trip

Met CB in LC on Sunday night. Spent the night at the yurt and hit the road in the morning for Montrose to meet Rog & Bon, Cor, and Garret for some dirtbiking. Got to Montrose and found out Cor was in the 'Urgent Care' with some feaver, shakes, aches, etc. The Urgent Care was housed in a strip mall next to a tanning salon and pizza parlor. They gave him some antibiotics and sent him on his way, the large target on his back was an infected pore..... hmmmm. Eventually we took him to the real hospital and convinced them it was, in fact, Lyme Disease. He's well on his way to recovery now. Then CB broke both wrists......

Hmmm

I'm not sure about shilling for a company on here, but WOOT.com has occasionally had some really good deals and they said they would 'share the wealth' if readers use the links on here. I threw a couple of their links on over there --------> if anyone is interested. Today's deal is a good one, I bought 2 boxes of 60 AA batteries for $17 including shipping...... about 14 cents a battery.

WOOT OFF!!!

Hey, there's a WOOT OFF going on at WOOT.COM! (Link is over there to the right, and I get a little something if anyone actually buys something through the link)
One item is sold at a time, usually at a pretty big savings. When that item sells out they post another and so on until it's over. If you happen to get lucky enough and see the "Bag of Crap" listed, make sure you buy as many as you can. You never know what will be in it (my first one had 13 MP3 players, 5 tee shirts, a remote control, a GPS unit (no instructions or cord) and a bunch of other stuff..... all for $3.00 + $5.00 shipping. Check it out!

Apache Trail, unpaved

This is the road where it drops down to Fish Creek. Pretty narrow and a single lane bridge at the bottom. Both of these look better (a little) if you watch them in HD (change the resolution down in the lower right).

Driving the Apache Trail

We drove the Apache Trail (Arizona 88) between Apache Junction and Lake Roosevelt last night. Fantastic road and lots to see. I want to come back and do the paved section on my motorcycle......

Another?

Here's another one (in HD this time) since that seems to work.....

Videos?

Not sure if this will work, but I'll try embedding a Youtube video I took:
