Baby Seals
Five or six of us were sitting around the dark corner of a bar last night in a little out of the way town after a few hours of XC skiing. We’re all pretty fit looking, and we all have our winter beards going full force. Some weary eyed guy walks in toward us and […]
Glen Onoko
Craig and I got out last week for some climbing. Only one of the main routes (Weeping Wall) was in enough for us to climb. We both had aspirations of leading it, but decided against it when we were reminded just how tall the wall is. We did practice lead while on top rope. We […]
Skiing Again
Finally got out skiing again. Turned out to be a great trip. Abigail picked up where she left off from last year. Though she started with her tip clip, by the end of the day she was motoring on her own without it. Lauren was much better than last year. We had been practicing our […]
Ski Time!
Sort of. Got the girls all fitted up in their gear expecting to go skiing today, but doesn’t look like it will work out this weekend. Abigail’s cold has come back (or it’s a new one). No point in stressing her out with that’s involved in skiing. We’ll try again next weekend. – b
We’ve Got Issues
You can’t really tell in the photo, but the water heater is leaking. It’s hit that point. Time for a tankless system. – b
Odd Sight
Toddler clothes getting stain treated next to washed crampons. Time to get them sharpened for the next trip. – b
Where’s Abigail
One night last weekend (or over the holiday) Jen and I had been watching a movie downstairs, then took a break to use the bathroom. For some reason I decided to check on Abigail (usually done before we go to bed), and found she wasn’t there. ??? I went to look in our bed, while […]
Dry Tooling
Craig and I got out last weekend to try some dry tooling on some local rocks. Dry tooling is where you climb rocks with your ice tools and crampons. Occasionally (depending on the route and its complexity) this is necessary, so it’s good (and fun) to practice in more controlled conditions. The route/rock we picked […]
Gut Busting Funny
Played a game with some friends this weekend. It’s called Cards Against Humanity. Unless you’re a prude, I highly recommend it. – b
Back to the Routine
Let’s see if I can get back in the swing of things. Christmas pictures are in the gallery here. One of the better gifts was The Book with No Pictures. I highly recommend it. Christmas was busy. We went to bed late. The girls got up late, then we went to Jersey. As always lots […]
