Steamboat

So what have I been doing with my free time… Well I put on some fancy fog/Off Road lights on my jeep, you will find out why this is important later. Here is what she looks like now:

Then today I went to Steamboat with Jared and Liz, it was a blast as the snow was perfect and the weather was bearable. I say bearable because the morning started off at 11 degrees and the wind was howling but the wind calmed down some and the temps were manageable even though we thought that the weather was supposed to be much nicer. On the plus side there was a nice few inches of powder and being a weekday the mountain was all ours. We never waited for a lift and never felt crowded as is normally the case at these fancy resorts during the weekend.

So yes the boarding was great and I had a blast playing in the trees and catching some air, yes I have witnesses but of course most of them will say that I landed on my head, but that was only once =) All in all I can’t complain one bit about the boarding and I would love to do it again and again.

Now I said I would talk about the new lights on the Jeep, well after our dinner (yes that bear tried to eat with us but I scared him off) I wanted to show off my new lights. So I had on the regular head lights, then the high beams, then my KC lights. Boy they were bright, so much so that I thought I could turn off my regular lights, I did and they were plenty bright. As any curious driver I decided that I should just drive with my normal lights when others were on the road. Well in the Jeep the lights are not on the staring wheel but rather a knob that you “pull out” from the dash… Well when I went to turn them back on I literally PULLED the knob OUT of the dash! Yep what are the odds but it just so happen that tonight all that gym time decided to show it’s presence and rip out the headlight switch in the Jeep. So now I have no way of turning on my normal headlights.

After taking apart the dash and freezing as I worked on the Jeep with the door open I realized that there was nothing that I could do until I got home. So I adjusted the KC lights down low and decided I would turn on my flashers when someone approached from behind as I had no running lights.

This all worked and I got us home with only one truck driver flashing his high beams at me. Now at least I have a project for tomorrow. And on that note I do believe it is bed time. Hope you enjoy the video and I will chat later, Aloha!
