New music tuesday

A pretty cool aspect of my job is that I drive alot, and be that I drive alot, I listen to alot of music.  So I have XM radio in the truck, and it is awesome.  I always get to hear new stuff, and today, I bring you new music Tuesday.  Though it may not be new, its whats on my playlist now.  So give em a listen and maybe Ill post some next week.  Wax and Watsky are two rappers from California, I dig their styles and they entertain me.  Viewer discretion advised, there is cussing.




I like this song alot, but I dont like the video and the movie scene in the middle interrupting the video.

Old man winter is creepin in on us here in Utah.  I like this time of year.  Im a fan of hoodie weather and the crisp air, makes coffee in the morning that much more enjoyable.  Well, heres the latest.  We're still at in the in laws.  Its going pretty good, and the projects that my father in law has been planning are coming along great.  I may not be too excited for the beam portion of the deck, but thats more based on the fact that I like to be lazy around the house than actually doing the work. And, well, I like to complain a lot.  I sure have enjoyed not commuting as far every day.  I miss the ellis show, but not enough to make up for that drive.  I cant believe I did that commute for two year.  I guess my out look on the drive was that it gave me time to gear up before work, and calm down after.  XM radio also helped out a shit ton so there was that.

The neighborhood that we are in right now is totally awesome.  We have been trying to sneak in walks on the blvd before old man winter really shows us who is boss.  The grom has totally found her balance on her strider which of course makes me happy.  So we have been getting in some bike time together.  No need for sprints when you can put around with the grom.  I love seeing the joy this little one gets out of everything.  I wish as adults that we could maintain that love for life and not let everything be such a downer.

 Went to Canada last weekend for their national Championships.  I love Canada, if it werent for socialism and Canadians I would probably move there.  Just kidding, the folks up there are straight up awesome.  Maybe if the wife would get her passport she would go with me on time.

 When you travel with bikes you know you have to get smart when it comes to flying them.  Golf bags dont get charged for over size, and they fit a bike perfectly.  Doing it this way saves me about 150 bucks each way.

 So this view is cool......................

 Aggies VS BYU.  We were done after the first ten second of the game when BYU intercepted the first pass and ran it back for a touch down.  A little bit later, our quarter back who is the back bone of the team would blow out his knee and is done for the season.  Moving on, still rooting for the Seahawks, and anxiously waiting for Aggie Basketball Season.  Im usually not a fan of Pro Sports but Seattle drafted two Aggies two years ago, and I love that city, so yeah.

A couple weeks back we did some family photos.  This photo pretty much sums it up.

Maybe, just maybe things might be on the up and up.

Sometimes I catch myself doubting myself, actually I do that quite a bit.  Not sure why, just something that I, in my 30's still struggle not to do.  If it werent for the people in my life, Im not sure how my life would be going.  Having people that stand behind you and believe in you is the most amazing thing.  I always reflect on the past, and like the song says, "i wish I knew then what I know now".  Shit would have been much easier, and the ridiculous things that I thought were the end of the world would have been so easy.  But eh, cant live like that, live and learn.

So this past weekend I went to San Diego for a race.  We were trying to get the girls to come with me, but I was unaware that you had to book the companion ticket at the same time as my ticket.  I called Delta four different times trying to figure it out, but their loyalty to their customers sucks, and they wouldn't budge.  So I was able to book the girls a room in Park City at a pretty rad spot, the Sun Dial lodge.  Killer rooms, views, and they treat people right.  They had a good little girls night, and followed that up with a trip to the circus.  I am not a fan of the circus.  It makes me sad to see the animals like that, but I think the grom enjoyed it.  They both probably would have enjoyed it more, had the seats been better, but come on, 90 bucks for lower bowl tickets to the circus, nah.

San Diego was fun.  I got to see one of my lifetime friends race her last race, culminating an amazing career.  It was awesome to see the respect that she has in the sport, and how many fans she has. 
The GT team had a sponsored table at the BMX Hall of Fame.  This was a really cool event, where some heavy hitters were inducted to this go around.  GT always treats us right, and pretty much spoils us every where we go.  What an experience it has been being on this team.  Pretty damn lucky to be a part of if you ask me. 

Old man winter showed its ugly face today.  Not too sure how I feel about it.  But then again, changing of the seasons can bring good change.  I am a fan of hoodie weather though, so there is that.

 The grom just found her balance point on her bike. So rad!  I sit back and watch her and just love how much fun she has doing things, and enjoying first time experiences.  The wifester and I sat back and laughed that at 5 pm the grom is out riding bikes, and then at 6:15 pm she is in her pink tights at ballet.  I love this life. 

 

 

 Most people focus when they are about to race, me?  I find the camera and let it know not to take it too serious.
