Another day another hike

Hiked this afternoon in the San Tan Mountains. 5 miles round trip. Nice view overlooking the East Valley in this fine 70 degree weather.

Derby Champ!

Pinewood derby is a big event in a boys life (use of pocket knives, power tools, etc.) I can still remember just about all 45 minutes of mine when i was 9ish years old... vivid memories of my car screeching behind all others by what seemed like 10 seconds or more. However, the awesome design including winshield got me a "best in show" award! (Thank you dad!)
Toby required far less help than i did and did very well as a racer and designer. Plus, he looks stellar in his Cub Scout uniform! GO TOBY and "Pit Viper"!

Power Tools and boys

Its Pinewood Derby season. The discovery of my Dremel sander and grinder has made my son a very excited cub scout. At this point your probably confused as to why Toby is actually working on his own car. Well the answer is simple; I let him pose for the picture then I quickly took the Dremel away and went back to work.

Preparation

My 2 oldest are backpacking the GRAND CANYON with me in the spring. Today we did a few miles in the Superstition Mountains on Peralta trail to start their training. It was an awesome day.

Recreation? Whats that?

I have been working a ton the last few weeks. Yeah I know, I'm a lucky dog. No adventures of late however, unless working 60-72 hours a week (12 hour night shifts) is considered a Marathon.

What qualifies a vehicle as "recreational"?

Answer: it has wheels.... and an awesome kayak on top.
Had a blast after work this morning with my buddy/co-worker Nick on the lower Salt River.
