Lately (and right now three days is a very long time), I’ve been doing one of four things:

-School, which is self-explanatory.

“The post-modern topology of the minds of people at the grassroots liberates them from those “certainties,” seen as a horizon of intelligibility that is unsustainable and unbearable; one that they do not share.”

(Esteva and Prakash)

-Riding my bike. I got the Karate Monkey back together and have been climbing lots of the steepest pavement I can find around here in prep for a certain event with around 10k of technical climbing.

-Going to see films that are part of the Big Sky Documentary Film Festival. This has been a real treat, and I’ll write more later (maybe).

-Working on projects, like these:

A faux-bushbuddy wood stove made from an inset lighting fixture. Still in the testing phase, intended to make wood cooking in the snow a bit more orderly.

A ski sled, inspired by Pete’s rig from the Ultrasport last year. The JB-Weld on the PVC-conduit joints is curing now. Why in the sewing room rather than the garage? Because JB don’t cure below freezing (or at least does so at a glacial pace.

The machine tells me this is the blog’s 1000th post. Joy! Now, back to work….
