My beautiful locks.

This is all in reverse order, no reason, it just is. First off yesterday I got out the clippers and buzzed my hair – oh so nice for the summer, showers, maintenance. I would even say it looks good. Others may disagree (ahem, my wife) but it’s all good. check it out, holler back if you dig or undig it.

I just realized I have a bit of a scowl there, note the unshaven face – ah the joys of working from home. It’s all I can do to motivate myself to put clothes on in the mourning.

Mountain Biking

This memorial day I rounded up a few of the good ‘ol boys and we set off on an epic ride up in the hills of Bountiful. We met just before 8 a.m. and begun our easy 4 mi. climb up North canyon. We were lucky with the weather, it sprinkled all day the day before and the forecast was scattered showers, but it turned out to be absolutely sunny, mild and perfect.

I gingerly led the pack up the hill and down the best part of the Mueler park side. The twists, bend, log and rock hops, the water, mud, sweat, hooting and hollering. Man it was a good ride. Most everyone took a little tumble but nothing bloody. The downhill section is about 13 mi. and on a holiday weekend the trail gets over run with hikers, bikers and even equestrians or horse people as I prefer to call ‘em. I had so much fun I had to get on my old stead and go for a ride today, up above my house.
Another bonus of working from home, I have already been biking 10 or 11 times this year, the past 2-4 ears have been 1-3 times in an entire year. I feel like old 2003 Glen with all this ridding. Though as I get older I need more padding more my skinny butt on the saddle.

The First Fathers and Sons outing with my Boy.

Last Friday/Saturday was our stakes fathers and sons and at last minute I decided to bring my boy up. We went up to a camp Zarahemla near Morgan , UT. It was a pretty good place, lot’s of people but it didn’t feel crowded. Ticks are apparently a problem in the area and I forgot to bring shoes, so all I had was my flip flops, thus we did not do too much hiking in the tall grass or hilly areas which worked out fine. We did trek past the cows and stroll along the stream there. Micah has fun with a golf ball he found and we kicked a soccer ball around.

It was good to spend time with him and give him his first outdoor experience away from mom. He never complained or distressed about anything. It was short but worked out for us well. It;s crazy to think that the last fathers and sons I went to was with my dad up at bucklan flats (I think) when I was like 8 or 9, 23-24 years ago.
