So you thought this blog had dried up and all but disappeared from the interwebs. Well, you're wrong....just happens that i can't be bothered to sit still and plunk myself in front of the ole desktop to post something to the interwebs. Sure, i post some images to instagram or facebook or flickr...but they're usually a one or two shot deal and they are quick, even without owning a cell phone. I realized the other day, that this blog platform has provided a pretty fun timeline over the years, even if it's just for myself; although i know a few of you get a kick out of it as well and can't be bothered with that other media crap.  So with that in mind and the fact that it's now winter, i'm going to make an attempt to post here, if only a little more often than in the past half a year. So stop by from time to time and see what's cookin in our world of fun and adventure.  As usual...these are all photo's i've snapped.

The families shoes at rest well we played in the water at Redrock Canyon, Waterton Lakes National Park this summer.

Rogers Pass

Score

Either grown, foraged or caught.

Spent 4 months off work with my boys, getting up to all kinds of trouble, including rolling round town on this rig.  Surly Ogre, with Yepp Mini upfront and Trek Mnt Train in the back.

Because we always like a fun little project; we decided to rip out our front yard this spring and re landscape the whole thing into a raingarden.  Here we are just putting in some plants.  Being a cool wet summer, the yard flourished and should come back twice as nice next year.  Lot's of native species, berries, grasses, ferns, etc...

So yeah.  Now you're all up to speed...hahaha.

A tomato plant that never made it into the earth last summer managed to survive the winter indoors and is now poppin flowers while we enjoy record warm temperatures for this time of year...we'll see what happens when it comes time to move it outside with all the little ones that are now starting on the windowsills.

Bike stoke.

Contents (minus, lunch and spare cloths) from my pack that rides with me on the daily commute.




Also, if you haven't heard, the canadian federal conservative government is proposing to eliminate fish habitat protection measures from the Fisheries Act! ...Not GOOD! Read up and take action. No habitat, means no fish...a pretty critical issue when it comes to fisheries ecosystem based management.


take care

After a winter of pretty thin, but adequate snow conditions..we finally got thrashed by a quality Alberta clipper today & this evening. Barring a heat wave, this should help in keeping us skiing right through March. Had a fun time playin outside after dinner with O and N. Quality.


Crankset...check.

Essence

Directed by Daniel Leeb of Cinecycle Productions.

"This short film features Alfred Bobe Jr. and Fatimah Durkee. The film spins a visual ballad between the two cyclists experiencing the city in their own unique ways. Both cyclists are city dwellers who amidst the chaos of the concrete jungle have created a private and peaceful psychological space as they traverse the streets. They are both alone and yet they are both very much aware of each others presence. The film speaks to the harmony with one's environment that can be found while riding a bicycle in a city and the synchronistic connection we can have with those we have not even met. The short was commissioned by Hutchinson tires."



And to keep things a little on the fishy side...steel.

Booted around town the other night on my bike, playing with the camera and just enjoying the evening. Quiet spin of the pedals in the brisk night air.  Fresh snow as of today to replenish the recent melt caused by freakishly warm weather.  Going to be nice skiing tomorrow.
