Nothing new to report from the MT strong hold. Kim Showed up this weekend and is now fighting Cooper for ever inch she can get of the futon which seems to be working fairly well and he makes for a pretty nice bed warmer seeing how the Guest room/ porch / Kim's room is not insulated very well it isn't as warm as the rest of the house. Having Kim around is awesome hopefully we can take advantage of her and maybe Sony and I can get out and do something while she is around. Kim is working at Sylvan Peak for the break were she instructs the tourists as to what down jacket to buy and big fluffy hat will go best with there Ugg boots. not a bad job for x-mass break. Oh ya and she gets pro-form discounts while working there and full use of the rental Tele fleet so she will probably take advantage of that once or twice.
I have been helping out he Search and rescue here in town and gave a presentation on a avalanche that took place in the bridgers a few years ago that two of my friends were in. We also watched a movie at the meeting called "A dozen more turns" anybody that skis in the back country needs to see that movie it is a great movie about a group of friends all will lots of back country training and skill and one had his masters in snow science all of them from Bozeman. An avalanche on there last day killed one of them and broke another s leg so bad it needed amputation, but not to focus on the bad. It was an eye opener to all for sure. Jeff Gildahouse the head of recreation at the forest service in town also gave a great presentation that included a film by the Utah back country association that was really good.
On a lighter note I got the kegerator finished and I will be buying the keg in the next few days to put in there I can't wait to have a keg on tap at home! I just don't know which of Sam's beers to put on tap first I was thinking IPA but if anyone has any other ideas I am open to suggestions. They did just come out with the chocolate stout (dam good) but it would take months to finish that off.
And just in case I don't get to talk to blog again before x-mass have a MERRY Christmas and a HAPPY New Year!
I worked with Sam (the amputee), he was an avid bike racer and I think he was going to try for the paralympics with a new racing leg.
ReplyDeleteAnd Blake's (the guy who died) wife had their first baby a month after the accident and just moved back to Bozeman from Billings.
I haven't seen the movie, but look forward to watching it one day...but probably not with Allison as Brian wants to go heli-skiing and she probably wouldn't let me go after watching it.
if you fallow that link that I have on the page it will take you to the movie. I know that those guys looked familiar. and ya he is on the Olympic team not bad. It is not a feel good movie as you could expect but a very well done movie.
