Bedrock & Paradox

Kelly (fellow student) and I were discussing last night how important things like eating well and getting out for fun and exercise are, and how massively they improve ones efficiency with things like school.  Monday has been my day to do something fun before anything else, and I had plenty of time to exercise if…

Yo Steve, look what I found.  The gorgonzola is good, too. Evening edit: Steve speaketh the truth; that’s a damn good porter.  Best coffee flavored beer I’ve ever had, by a lot.  Currently enjoying it with some nice baked trout and garlic and leek rice.  School work is done for the day, only one completed…

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…

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…

Mine, and M’s. Egg with onion and (farmers market) garlic. Food with thought, as the market goes apeshit.  I’m not enough of an economist to say much on this, but I do think both sides are asking good questions, that for the most part have gone unanswered.  All the hysterics, super-capitalist and fear of socialism…

E gettin’ after it at Goose.  Moab best watch out.  No way in hell I would ride that roller. Porch of Granite Park Chalet. RMVQ gps analysis forthcoming.  I imported the file into Rubitrack, didnt like it, and need to get it over on the PC to work it over in Topofusion.

I have to confess, I did not watch the debate last night, merely listened to and read commentary this morning, so I have nothing to say.  I did find this article by Roger Cohen, which I think very well encapsulates one of the (and my) main arguments against John McCain (to say nothing of the…

Re-entry from the weekend has been a bit brutal; killer trip plus unexpectedly deep submersion in the wild plus still getting into the groove at work and school equals ~36 hours of subtly contained freek out.  But I’m over the hump, work done for the week, with some praise throw my way by my supervisor…

Add: Ignore the date, but this’ll give you an idea of our route.  Red is what we did, blue what we should have.  Tack was camp on Saturday night.  Maps are useful… It’s solar-ly autumn around here, and the wind yesterday felt like winter.  Yellowstone’s autumn is different than most places. Was the KMC really…

Thanks Dylan.
