Some things..
..can’t wait. Sentinel in 29 minutes today. 20 vertical meters per minute, average. I was excited.

Training
It’s been a quiet evening, just what I missed this past week. I’m trying to decelerate my brain in prep for a week of screwing around, and have had great fun reading through the workouts posted on Mountain Athlete. The gym was in Outside last year (or so) with pictures of Exum Guides lugging sleds…

Notice
I’m planning on riding Losee Canyon, the Cassidy trail, and Thunder Mountain this coming Tuesday morning, if anyone is interested and in the area. Do be warned that I’m pretty slow these days, which I’ll be using as an excuse to photo-neck and hang around. I would like to squeeze in a ride on…

I was sharpening my chainsaw when they called me from Washington, D.C., to ask me how to fix the economy… Without worries about money, without a job, and with extra space in the garage to grow food and invent, these people forgot about the stock market, stopped borrowing money, even forgot how to shop —…

Monday has been my day to do something fun before anything else, and I had plenty of time to exercise if…

Currently enjoying it with some nice baked trout and garlic and leek rice. School work is done for the day, only one completed…

Autumn arm warmers
More DIYness today: arm warmers made of socks! I always kill socks by wearing through the heel, leaving a useless sock but plenty of nice wool real estate. What to do? Make some arm warmers. These come from a pair of “standard” wool Smartwools (upper), and lightweight Smartwool ski socks (lowers). The combined length is…

School in effect
That is what it’s been, and it is likely to stay that way. More writing for school, less desire to write here. Not much going on (besides school) anyway. I did make a vest this afternoon/evening: A the Minima Vest kit from Thru-hiker.com, with plain jane 1.1 oz nylon shell, 3 oz Primaloft insulation, and…
