heartbreaker

timing is a pain in the ass

and it sure is LOUD!

dingdong

stealing my spot on the couch

and the bed

fresh from the oven

first ever dutch oven loaf

delicious

last summer

so this time last summer

I was prepping for three weeks in the grand canyon

on the colorado river

the trip was grueling and epic

some white(brown?)water highlights below...

I'm thinking this is hermit rapid

fun stuff

one of the silver cock jocks - steve carothers - scouting crystal rapid

may not look like much but this is some of the biggest nastiest whitewater in the west

a wild ride aced by all

looking down into lava falls rapid - see above description

minor disaster occurred here...

first silver cock through flipped

we camped right below lava

floated 100 miles to takeout the next day

anyways there really is only one story of the river being run

a speed run in a dory @70 some thousand cfs

briantly chronicled here...

highly recommended

new bench

set up the home shoppe bench today - need a guitar to work on...

at least I've got a very comfortable stool and environment.  

and we can wrock out!

with BEER!

and now yarnell hill

oftentimes it seems we take firefighters for granted

hotshot crews put their lives on the line daily

during the west's long wildfire season

sometimes the odds catch up with them

I've been heartsick since I've heard about this

prayers and condolences to all affected

monuments do not do justice to their sacrifice

though they do offer the rest of us memories of their heroic valor

dude fire monument
