Well, I am sitting in the chair my dad made listening to music, and talking with the fam.  We just got done looking through pictures from when my parents were in Australia, and when they just moved to Northway.  I had not seen any of those pictures before, so it was pretty interesting.

Today was nice.  I slept till 10:00 A.M. this morning which was a nice change of pace.  After I got up, we had a little breakfast to get the day started.  I made some salsa from scratch, and stuck it into the fridge to get all the tastes to blend together by dinner time.  After that I tried to put in my contacts, and had some difficulties with the jalapeno juice residing on my fingers.  My eyes burned really bad as soon as I touched the contacts to my eyes.  So I gave up on that eventually, and stuck with the glasses.  We decided we should take a ride up to the pass. We heard that there was a snowmachine hill climbing competition going on.  It was a beautiful day out, so we hopped in the car, and headed out of town.  The mountains were all covered in snow, and standing out in the blue sky.  When we got up to the top of the pass, the snowmachines were taking their turns to climb up the huge mountains.  Only one kind of faltered a bit, and took a couple tumbles dropping about 20 feet.  Its kind of fun when they go tumbling all the way down the mountain.  They can really fligh on some of those bounces.

After checking the hill climb out for a while, we headed back into town.  I almost got pulled over by Alpine Woods sub division, there was an unmarked car sitting on the side of the road.  I was doing a little over the speed limit, but the officer was kind enough to let me go on about my way.

We spent the rest of the day pretty much hanging out.  Talked to Katie on the phone this evening.  She is down at an ultimate frisbee competition this weekend.  It is sectionals or something, so it’s kind of a big deal.  I guess they won 3 games and lost one today, so they are on the right track.  She said they have some tough games tomorrow though, and she sprained her anckle, so she was hoping that wouldn’t inhibit her play.

Erin made dinner which was pretty tasty.  We had enchiladas, the salsa and chips, and some wierd salsa stuff that Erin made.  Everyone said it was tasty, but I wasn’t buying it.  I know they were just trying to get me to try it.  That brings us back to the photo albums.  Mom and dad just got a scanner, so I might be able to show you some of those pictures some day.
