Whistler, then Cats

Well, these past few weeks have been pretty busy. Cheryl and I took a trip to Whistler and had the chance to check out the bike park in peak condition. We mostly rode the bottom half of the hill, but I had the chance to check out the latest and greatest Garbanzo trails, so that was fun.

Jen and Glade came down to Seattle and took their cats which we offered to take care of while they were taking the week down in Oregon/Washington. We had a great time taking care of them, but they definitely were a bit of a handful when it came to chewing cables, and scratching screen doors. Overall it was really fun to have the cats. It was amazing how well the cats got together - they are very mellow, play with each other all day, and actually fetch - which you don't see too often in cats.

Cheryl and I were able to get a Tiger Mt. ride in with Jen and Glade before they headed off down south for more riding.

Here are some random pictures of the cats...

Glade helped me build a work bench and fix the back porch (a few boards were rotten, so we really wanted to replace them as soon as I could). This involved the purchase of a circular saw, a square, and a few other basic things that I just didn't have.

Here's us about half way through the bench building process:

And we're done:

Anyhow, I'm not sure what's on tap for this weekend, but I believe I'll be heading out of town. We'll see.

Have fun!
