One hell of a climb!
Today, I decided to go to Fairview Canyon and do the Widowmaker to get away from the crowds of the Scandevian Festival in Ephraim and Ephraim Canyon during Memorial Day Weekend, I tell ya, it was one hell of a climb. I was going the lowest gear and max. heart rate all the way up. It reminded me a lot about the mountain bike widowmaker race from Gad Valley to the top of the tram in Snowbird. I felt the same way as I felt in that race. It was hard and I about died at the top. I made it to the snowboard park in Fairview Canyon in one hour and then I turned around. It got really cold up there. The temperature on the climb I say it was about 65-70 degrees and the top was about 55, it was perfect for the climb and the downhill was great. I was bombing down at 40 miles per hour. There was still a lot people on that road but not as bad though. It could have been worse. Well, I will go later again this year and go all the way to the top during peak season. I really like to go up Ephraim Canyon because of the mountain biking and stuff. The climb there is good too which I do every week. I love to climb, it's what I do.
My DeWalt drill....
I got my DeWalt drill last Christmas and it is the best tool I had for a long time. I have been using it so much in the past few months and it worked great. I beat the heck out of it and it works like new still. It also came with an extra battery and work light and I love the work light. I used that so much in the dark basement when the power is out every time. It is very bright. The drill has adjustable speed and torque. I love that and when I am screwing things in, sometimes I want it to go real slow and it can do that. DeWalt makes the best power tools and it is worth the money. Those wimpy Black and Decker users out there, like Mike and Tony, throw those away and buy DeWalt power tools. Oh yeah, I bet those Black and Deckers are broken and needs to be thrown away anyways. So think about spending an extra $50-100 and get the real tool that will last a long time and will be cheaper because it is better to buy one DeWalt tool and use it for 10 years instead of buying a new Black and Decker every year. One of my co-workers said that he had his DeWalt drill for seven years and he beat the hell out of it and used it everyday at work. He loves the battery too, it has so much power. The battery on mine lasts a long time and then after that I got an extra battery in the charger to use and plug in the dead battery. It is sooooo nice.
