travis' brain dump

heh a year later…

i was going to post yesterday, but i passed out (you’ll learn why later) and never got to it…  in other news, its a year later from the first day i posted a blog on this thing … i cannot believe i’ve had a myspace account this long — seemed like yesterday i swear.

ok — so i did my first solo trip up to breck yesterday… (usually im with at least one person going up, but no one could make it so i had to go it alone) all in all it was a pretty good day – fresh powder mmmmm…. I got the urge on thursday while I was at work and checking out the snow stats at breck from this lil storm we had pass through and it excited me. (perhaps in that way, you may never know) — i was burnt, i had worked all the previous weekend and pulled an all nighter on this database migration that kept going sour (i wont even bore with the details) but all the same it carried over.

So I got up Friday, took the kiddo over to her grandparents for the day and headed for the hills… the drive up was freakin nuts! Snow all over the roads, i think CDOT was taking the day off too. Once I got up there however, it was well worth it. I got there at about 8:30 or so and there was hardly anyone there… Can we say no lines to the lifts!? I didn’t even have to unstrap a couple times to get onto the lift… lol Got a lot in, a bunch of boarding, a little hiking and quite possibly the best view i have ever seen – all before 2pm… very nice. got back here just in time to take a shower and get a 30 minute nap before andy and mark came over. I was so wiped by the time the day was over i passed out, didnt even fight it.

I was supposed to go up today too but I didnt get a chance — no babysitter… *shrug* oh well – next year I wont have this problem… gonna strap arwen to a board next year for sure! I hope she likes it — however judging by her daredevil attitude now, i dont think i have to worry…

ok… well i have stuff to do and i’m sure i’ve grammatically butchered this blog enough as I don’t care to actually re-read this thing.

later
