Summer is here

Well, after a lot of miserable weekends we're starting to see some good sun over here in Seattle. Cheryl and I have been up to a lot of random stuff lately - much of it related to the house of course, but we've managed to fit a few interesting weekends in the mix.

Cheryl even managed to write her first post in a year talking about this past weekend where Stacey and Steven came to Seattle to visit with their two kids. Yeah, we went to the zoo :)

I've probably been grilling too much, but it sure has been good to be able to cook up something quick on the grill at any point - I'm loving the natural gas hookup too. We've gone to Whistler a few times since the last post, and had a good run down the north shore mountains as well to try and test the waters there. The whistler mountain bike park is in peak condition, and the garbanzo lift will be opening this weekend too.

I managed to get a chance to race out in Port Angeles at the Fluid Ride Cup's second event of the year. I raced "Sport" and ended up middle of the pack although I think I could have done better if I had a lighter bike - maybe next time.

I also managed to get a new TV that will help make my gaming setup better.

Here's my old gaming setup:

Here's the new setup:

Here's a shot of our crew camping out at Port Angeles:

I only have one action shot of me in the race, and it's not that good unfortunately:

But my friends posted a lot more pics of the port angeles race here.

Anyhow, that's what's going on over here. Nothing too crazy. We still don't have a kitchen table, coffee table, end tables, etc, but we are enjoying the house so far.

Hope all is well!
