Bremerton, Feb. 2010











We had a great visit to Bremerton to see Kristen and Dustin's new house, but mostly the kids and grandkids. Scott and and Brittany were able to come up for the weekend from Portland, so it was great. First are some pictures of the little one, Lucas and Lydia, kind of self-explanatory.

Dad's bike

Yesterday I went and picked up dad's new bike. It is amazingly clean, seriously, it makes me sick. I want to throw mud on it just so it looks like a dual sport. Here is dad's.


And here are the two of them together:


Kelly and Kevin, there is another red KLR for sale in Seattle. Great condition, good deal. One of the two of you needs to step up to the plate so we can have 3 matching bikes.

Ouray Ice Climbing, Day 2







Well we had a fantastic second day, probably good there isn't going to be a day 3, not sure we would be up to it. We shared ropes and routes with a couple of other parties, and had some great climbing. It snowed off and on today, just perfect ice climbing conditions. Kelly is working a mixed route, (rock and ice), Kevin is on a great route. the photo of me climbing, and Kevin belaying shows how cool the area is, even though the route is a short one.

Ice Climbing in Ouray Colorado, day 1







Kelly, Kevin and Brent are having a blast in Ouray climbing ice. The conditions couldn't have been better on the first day, close to freezing temperatures, and mostly cloudy. We each climbed 7 or 8 pitches of ice, each about 60 -70 feet in height. Kelly worked a mixed (rock) climb in addition. Hopefully day 2 will be as good. I think I am going to be a bit sore tomorrow, hope I can get out of bed.
