turkeys yams, and nothing but blue skys

I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. I started the day off with a paddle down flat creek through town and taking out at the house. After 5 minutes of being in the river there was ice all over my dry top. It was a nice float with snow all around. A bit on the chilly side though. We had some folks over to dinner and had a very enjoyable Thanksgiving day, due to work constraints the following morning, I was in bed by 10pm. But it was a great time with some good friends and we havent eaten anything except thanksgiving since.

Hockey tonite! Maybe acouple laps on the Greys river tommarow?

hello...are you there?, yeah, I'm right here, are you here too?

is anyone still out there? if you are, you might be curious as to the happenings around jackson. well, shortly after my last post, about a week as I recall, after sleeping in an ice cave on wheels, litterally waking up to frozen condensation on all the windows around I moved into a palace on the hill. Were talking the backyard is a mountain, the creek runs in the front, and an award winning view off in the distance towards idaho. The creek is big enough to fish in, even kayak,-with a few class II manmade diversions through town. A private drive complete with a wooden bridge and a steep hill up to the house. 10, 12% grade? it has been skateboarded as well as snowskated and provides entertainment no matter the weather. a big garage doubles as a tuning room and one day to be indoor skate facility. We skied over on Togowotee pass the other day. Nothing crazy sick, but we made some nice turns. I have been playing a fair bit of hockey, managing to snag a spot on one of the rec league teams. The Yetis' are currently 0-2 but next sunday we are comming back with a fighting fury not to be matched by those who stand in our way. other than all that, we spent a few days getting firewood and working and just keepin on keepin on. its almost winter time out here. snow and ice on the roads and in the hills and any day now it'll be here. Driving around with all my possessions in my home is alot more comforting than driving through town with them in the back and my boat on the roof. And I have grown quite acustomed to hot water showers. Oh I forgot to mention, I have been experimenting with myself pretending to be a baker, and the results are begining to show improvement. We are having a couple folks over for thanksgiving so that should be a nice time. *do not consider this an invitation* **If in fact there is even anyone reading all this long winded nonsense. ** Rex your invited. Bring ski's.
