Change of plans....

Well, change of plans! I am going to do a different trail on my St. George trip on the 21st and 22nd. It used to be Stucki Springs Trail but I changed my mind, I am going to do the Green Valley Race Course(just north of Stucki Springs Trail). This has more singletrack and more fun stuff on it. This is the trail they use every year for a race of the Intermountain Cup Race Series(the race series I used to do). I missed this one out though. I would like to do this one because I always wanted to try this one out.

This is Travis Brown, he is from Durango, CO. He raced in this race just two weeks ago(March 1st) on the Green Valley Race Course in the Intermountain Cup Series. He got 5th in the Pro class. He was an Olympian mountain bike racer during the Sydney Olympics in 2000. He is one of the two they chose to race in Sydney Olympics.

This is Bart Gillespie from St. George, he got 1st. He's 1st in every race. Oh, I remember good old Bart back in my racing days. He is a really nice guy. He beat an Olympian(Travis Brown). Amazing. Bart could go to the Olympics if he wants to but he only wants to race in the local races, I think. He is a mormon though. I used to race against his brothers in my class.

I don't know who this guy is.

Looks fun!

I've been tagged too...and mom...

So, I have been tagged. My book is the Carpentry 3rd Edition college text book. So on page 127 on the fifth line it says,

Replace it, using the same screwholes, with a custom made one in which one side extends to any desired length. Along a centerline make a series of holes to fasten the newly made subbase to the center of the desired arc(fig. 15-14).

It is talking about routing on how to make a circular cut. Yes, I need to learn how to do that. We didn't study that in college.


I tag Karen, Becky, Tony, and Andrea.

Mom is answering Karen's tag: On page 127 of Primary 3, Choose the Right: Sometime ago, Elder Monson and his wife were sent by the prophet to visit the islands of Samoa.

Mom tags Karen, Tony, Michael, Daniel, and Becky.

Movies

When I go see a movie or rent a movie, it is always entertaining...well depends on what movie you get. You may dislike it or like it because of your personality. Everyone always look at the back of the movie and reads the rating the first thing they see before he or she reads the summary. G, PG, PG-13, R, or unrated are the ratings. It can be good if you are a mormon and really care about how bad or good it is. Here are the information about the ratings and to think about what you really should get next time you go see or rent a movie:

G-means Good: a good movie can be the most entertaining for kids and most boring for grown ups. Most parents love to watch these movies with their kids and find it very entertaining, no swearing, no humor, well maybe a little bit of bad humor. Can be a cartoon or a good movie but may be stupid for teenagers and grown ups.

PG-means Partly Good: a movie with lots of cartoon bad humor and kids find it very entertaining because of the humor. Grownups may also find this movie to be entertaining because the humor may be funny enough for them. There are some movies that are serious PG movies that are just based on a true story and so on for the whole family to watch. These movies are great family movies.

PG-13-means Partly Good 13 and over: a great movie for mormon grown ups and any kind of teenagers. Great date movie and can be very entertaining clean flick(compared to R movies). Has bad humor, some grown up material and jokes. Some movies may have a light sex scene in most of them and have sex and crude humor in comedy movies. In serious movies, can have some violence and grown up talk but not too grown up that you don't get it. Great movies for mormons.

R-means Retarded or some cases, Really Good: only for people that are 18 and over and not are self conscious about themselves(not making good decisions). A no no for mormons. In some cases these CAN be good movies, depends on how it is made. Too grown up conservations can be made in these movies and sometimes can be too confusing to follow. In these movies there are always a heavy sex scene be thrown in and can be very disturbing. Disturbing images, too violent, and too much really bad swearing and also be thrown in in these movies. Not a great movie for dating if you are a mormon, because you are not following the standards and the girl will just throw you off. Speaking of really good movies, some of these movies can be really good but there is always something disturbing but CAN be ignored, if you don't mind the violence(like 300 or Alien), you might find it entertaining.

Unrated-means Unmovie: This is a definitely a no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no movie for everyone. The first thing you should think about before renting this movie is there is always a really heavy sex scene or nudity in this movie. Another thing that they put down parts they wouldn't even dare to show it in the theater. It's for those losers that really want to see a movie that goes to the extreme. Way to violent, too many disturbing images, and porno type scenes.

Salem Project...

Yesterday and Thursday, my boss and I went to Woodland Hills near Salem(between Spanish Fork and Payson) to install some crappy prefabs in a $400,000 home. It was fun and a lot of work. They don't look too bad but I really don't like prefabricated cabinets. I don't why the contractor wants prefabs in all of the nice homes he built, so he can save a few thousand on each home to buy him a truck? Probably. I really like the home, I would buy it if there were some REAL cabinets in it, and better electrical.

Nice staircase, the only thing I like about this home. Oh, and the $3,000 wood front door too.

My boss installed all the kitchen cabinets and I did all the bathrooms and the laundry room. The picture above is the master bath. I did those.

After we were done Friday at noon, my boss and I decided to go boy shopping all afternoon in the Provo area. We went to Timberline Woodworking Supply, Western Tool Supply, Lowe's, and Home Depot. My boss bought an 18 volt DeWalt drill and I bought a DeWalt miter saw. I really love my saw. I bought it from Western Tool Supply. My boss bought the drill from Timberline Woodworking Supply. They are really good stores. Much better than Lowe's or Home Depot.

Snowbird Skiing

There were photographers all over the mountain and one of them took pictures of me going down a mogal ski run and I went to Snowbird Center to buy me a picture and it came in the mail 3 days later. So, I got a picture of me racing and now I got a picture of me skiing. Pretty nice.

Down the Gadzooks Trail.


Another great day of skiing and ibrofen at the end of the day today! Every time I go skiing, I get this big headache and sore legs at the end of the day, but it's worth it. I wanted to have a chance to go to Snowbird skiing, not bike racing. When I went there, I kept thinking about the most gruelsome, hardest, big time suffering best race I ever did. The Snowbird Widowmaker Hillclimb in the summer of 2000. Actually, I have been thinking about this race every day since September 2000. It was just the steepest granny gearing hill climb ever from the base to the top of the tram. I finished second in my age group(19-29) and I finished 5 minutes behind the pro. I did it in one hour and 3 minutes and it was the best I ever did in a race. I remember going maxinum heart rate all the way up and didn't need to train all week for the Deer Valley race the week after that and got 1st on that one(it was easy). After the snowbird race, I lost interest in all the other races but that's not why I stopped racing, I stopped racing because of injuries on both of my knees because I didn't lift weights for my legs with my bike training when I got home from my mission so I just tore them up from lifting up things. Then I got sick, lost a lot of weight, then gained too much weight in the last two years, so I am not race compatible anymore. But I ride for fun now, and ski! Skiing at Snowbird was great! I loved it, except for the crowds here. The service was great though. I love Snowbird! Good biking and skiing memories here.

Down the double black diamond trail called Dalton's Draw, I loved this one!

And a shitload of people! UUUUUGGGGGGGGGHHHHH!
