Last weekend, did an unusual dive trip - we did some underwater pumpkin carving! The event was put on through Gone Diving out of Bellingham, but took place at Rosario Beach near Deception Pass. First dive was to carve the pumpkins, a timed event. An interesting process for sure. Afterward, we did two fun dives [...]

Last night marked the last night of outdoor soccer for the year. Our league is getting bumped off of Thursday nights and moved to Saturday. Sha… who wants to play soccer on Saturday nights? So we’re going back to indoor on Thursdays like the winter schedule. Really lame actually, indoor twice a week in the [...]

For Christmas I was given several items that were essential to downsizing the bulk of my camping gear; so that one day I could hike and camp; but more importantly… load up the scooter for camping. Finally, it took the first weekend of Summer to hit; but nice weather coincided with an open weekend! So [...]

I headed to Oregon to help Jim move into his new house in Vancouver. We knocked that project out in a day which left Sunday open to play. We rallied up with some Portland friends (Joe, Lindsay, Freed, and Ella) for hiking off of HWY 84 - a popular spot called Eagle Creek. Turned out [...]

The event consisted of 5 known checkpoints and [...]

Over the Winter, we had been doubling up on indoor due to field closures. Our outdoor team was split in two to field two indoor teams; as indoor requires less players. Last Thursday we played the last game of that session… against the other half of our outdoor team. Some might say that they had [...]

The first ride is always the hardest, but yesterday we got on the road bikes for the first time in’08. The Inter Urban Trail is just a few blocks from the pad, so figured that a nice pedal while get’n some errands out of the way would be a good use of a half-ways decent [...]

I had the opportunity to play in a golf scramble in Palm Springs today. I know, what a bummer. It was the first time I’ve played since summer, and my practice shots were, well terrible. Others on the range were looking over their shoulders for my next wild ball! The first 9 holes, my drives [...]
