I will be working at Timberhawk!

















I will be the wall panel guy in the shop in Mt. Pleasant at the Timberhawk Building Systems. They build walls and stairs in the shop and then ship them to Rexburg, ID, Roosevelt, UT, and the surrounding areas where they put the walls together to build the townhomes. It is at the same wage and probably the same hours. And it's inside! I will start Monday and work a couple hours on that day so I will be working part time for the first couple of weeks and then get into full time. I rather do cabinets though but still, I need a job. Click on http://timberhawk.com/ to find out more about this place. Chris Jaussi is the owner of the Timberhawk Company and I went biking with him once to Milburn and back, he is a very nice guy. Also, the boss in the wall panel shop is in our ward, so that is good too.

The work is done.


Bottles and bottles and food storage.




That's what I did with the old bikes, hung them above the washer and dryer.
I just got done with the laundry room project today and mom and dad are very satisfied with it. We can put more food down there. That's it, that's all I am going to do with the laundry room. I got 3/4 of a section for my tools and we still got room for more bottles and food!

Upcoming Race: Red Rock Desert Rampage Bike Race


There's Durke Gordon, he did good last year so he's jumping up a class(expert).


I know this guy. That's good old Racer Gibson, I stop by in his bike shop to visit with him once a while. I haven't seen him for a while though, I used to go visit him quite a bit when I was living in Provo, very nice guy.







The race will be March 7th next year in St. George so I am looking forward to it. I will be racing in the Sport 30-34 class so I hope I will do good. I did this trail like twice in the last two springs, the same one. You do two laps(expert does three) and it's very fun singletrack, the climb up and the downhill is a blast. It will be nice 75 degree temperature. Oh yeah, the Evanston, WY race is changed to The Canyons Resort which is the grand finale so Tony, don't worry about me staying in your house for that, but Mike, I will stay in your house for the Sherwood Hills race though. The Jackson Hole race is still on too. I can't wait to do all 12 races next year and I am not going to take it too seriously, I am just going to have fun!

Goodbye Warm Day...


Today was the last official warm day before the brutal cold winter for the next four months. It was really nice but an emotional day at an above normal 70 degree temperature. It is the last day to wear a t-shirt and shorts outside. Then from tomorrow and then on until my St. George mountain bike race on March 2nd, 2009, will be a chill. So, I tried to enjoy the day when I could, of course, I went on a bike ride, a road ride. First I went along Witch's Knoll then rode from Ephraim to 5 Mile Junction and back and on the Witch's knoll again at a total of one hour and five minutes. It was a good little easy ride without killing myself this time. A lot of people were out on their yards trying to enjoy the day by raking leaves. The weather forecast looks like it's going to be in the 50s and start raining and snowing starting tomorrow. It is also time for daylight savings time change. Fall back, spring forward. The good old days are gone until next April, according to Ephraim.
