So last night we realized that the sounds coming from the street were not, in fact, a live band but the occupant downstairs from us. Boom, boom, boom, and it just kept reverberating through our apartment. We needed to get the bed and more importantly needed to get to sleep fast. Snuggles is getting on…

I just walked away from my desk. Time to go for a walk. Got to clear the mind and come up with a solution for a problem here at work. To clear my mind I start thinking about my current situation. I have a good situation right now, a job with flexibility at a place…

Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park. A great place to ride a mountain bike. But only in the spring because in the summer there are lots of people and rattlesnakes. We all know that Lewis and Clark used to call each other Snuggles and Cuddles right? And then there was Sacagawea. Who we all know…

New place, new town. Snuggles and I was out scouting the area to figure out where to park. A new chore is something one is faced with living in a downtown. I am thinking, super fun. Like living in San Fran or something. We stumble upon the library. Snuggles got excited. Every day I have…

One only has so much willpower. We all have a s*** ton of stuff to do every day. For me, I create a list and try to get through it. But then there is today. Everything is a distraction. At dinner, I sit down to eat but then I find myself taking pictures of some…

It’s hard for me to complain right now. Especially since I am out the door for some glorious single track. But I must. To reflect and remember. The last straw. The one last try … and our last failure. The damned forest service cabin bad luck streak. We have tried three times in the last…

Yea, so I did what I wanted to do is to go mountain biking for my birthday. And I endured the traditional party. Now a secret party were snuggles built me a cake without processed flour or any sugar. Those things smell like dirty baby diapers to me now. The only problem is that I…

The sun was out as I sit awaiting my compatriots. I was wondering if I should have maybe splashed on some sunscreen. Just then snuggles came ripping by me. I snapped off a shot and stepped out of the way. Damn this single track was fun. And the grin on her face confirmed it. I…

All the excitement in the world means nothing if your body doesn’t want to go along. At first, this seemed the case. I jumped on my bike and went to the first climb out of the Ogden neighborhood. The first punch upwards resulted in a ginger speed and … once to a certain heart rate,…

So I just turned 52 years old recently. So on my birthday I was presented with the opportunity have a fantasy trip of my dreams. Well, considering I live in Bozeman and don’t know anything but shitty winter weather. Ugh, as I write this a cold 40 degree rain is slithering its way to the…

Nothing like taking a short break from work to go on a lunch ride with a buddy. Even more, better is that it is spring. Seems like all I want to do is get out there. Today is supposed to be stupendously sunny and warm. Gosh, talk about torture. We have to pack and sell things…

When visiting Missoula we also discovered someone, an old friend you might say, that we have been missing for a while. Spring. The sun was out and we were able to go out hiking with friends and just enjoy the outside without bundling up and worrying about mud and snow and ice. Yes, spring. As…
