SLC, Shoveling off boulders

Still jobless...I worked one day with quite possibly the 3 dumbest people ever to grace the framing industry. Marty's grandma would definitely not approve. Our place is almost complete, still having the wall to wall carpet is sweet!! Mike and Tammy McClure called the other day randomly, plane from SLC to Boise was delayed an extra 3 hours so we picked them up and hung out for a bit, showed them the new home base. Kaiya and I went up to Little Cottonwood the other day, and made $20 giving some skiers a ride from the lower parking to the mountain...not a bad day. I figured out that to climb up there right now requires a shovel and a broom and the reward is awesome friction. we will see if i can con Kaiya into going out tomorrow, I don't know if there are enough handwarmers in the car though.




for now, you will have to just check out these photos of the new place, hopefully some climbing ones to come...

Moving from Moscow

It's weird how when you haven't been in a place that you spent so much time in for four months, you feel like a stranger, an outsider. In reference to Moscow, that is a GREAT feeling. We have a place in SLC, on 500 East. Cool little place on the main floor of a house with a little yard and a garage to use. Psyched to head down there with our stuff and move in for real.

Kaiya and I spent some time in Boise with Mike and Tammy McClure, helping out around the winery and making some amazing meals...and thinking up Marty Bland jokes. We also have been slowly going through photos from the trip, and we will be posting the best ones, one at a time for the next couple of weeks. I will try to post some photos of the new apartment soon too. All for now, I am headed out Lenville Road to boulder with Brian Veseth tomorrow, it is supposed to be a balmy 32 F. Awesome.

Here is a vid from the trip when we were in Joe's that Mike McClure had on climbidaho...its of the Black Dahlia
