It must be the beard.

Two days, two different customers, and two free bottles of wine. Its weird I guess people assume that I like to drink wine. I'm not really a big fan. Is it the society we live in or is it something else, because both customers just handed it to me as I was going out the door. Maybe they like it so much they simply assume everyone likes it and wants a bottle. Maybe its just my beard.

Father-son snow day




Gabe woke up Monday night and was selling Buicks (puking, tossing cookies, barfing...) so he was unable to go snowboarding on Wed. as I had planned. Come Thursday night he was still a little iffy, but I packed up our stuff anyway and decided we would sleep in a bit. The next morning I woke him up around 6:30 and he said he was good to go, so we went. We got to Mt. High about 8:30 and it was perfect...sunny, warm, not to crowded. After a few runs down, Gabe seemed a bit off so we took a break and got drinks and put on sunscreen. Again we took a few more runs and Gabe worked on turning on his toe edge. He can fly down the hill turning on his heel edge then he simply slides around, rides fakey (opposite foot forward) and turns on his heel edge again. This way he can go down the hill turning both directions but never on his toe edge. Again he was having fun but still seemed kinda mellow and wanted to take a break. We went to the truck and had lunch and he finished watching his movie from the drive up. Our lunch break made all the difference. Gabe was feeling better and really started to shred. He rode over several jumps and then headed toward one of the boxes and actually got on it and then slid off the side. I was stoked! I wasn't the only one, several other guys saw him and told him he did great. Gabe rode awesome and he just keeps getting better, I was amazed at how well he did especially since he was still recovering from being sick for several days. I love you Gabe!

A river runs through!

Its raining and I love it! I went out into the backyard and our river is really raging, it sounds so cool. And better yet we are getting more snow in the local mountains which is great because it was getting real thin due to last weeks warm weather. Look for a new post in the next day or two about Gabe's trip snowboarding with Dad.
