a river runs through it...

so i needed to paint the cement foundation of the house and i decided not to be normal (as usual), painting a creek line around the house:) well i must have summoned the creek gods, and the rains came. the down pour created big flow in the creek that borders the property and a handful of impromptu springs, running done my hills side. it is very beautiful after the storm and the rivers are full in boone today:)

ffb

it's been three months or so, since i've been facebook free, and i miss seeing my family and finding out when the parties are:) the way i participated took too much time and gave me a false sense of belonging, so its been a good adjustment and is freeing up all kinds of time... so f--k facebook:) along with being free of a face, i am free of a relationship....both kind of went hand in hand. this is not were i imagined to be when i first moved to boone.... but its been a great journey so far. looking forward to see what unfolds next. stay tuned for FFB t-shirts:)

the hill

finally got on skis... was it a mountain or a hill?? i'm not sure:) great conditions, great day, just really short runs. this would be a good mountain (appalachian ski mountain) to get good on a board. sugar mountain is next, cuz i do like the skis. btw, that is not me skiing, i had my carhartt overalls on and i rip it up better than that:)

happy new years

as always, a great time with my bro's in vegas. we had a night in old town with tapas, great drinks at the downtown bar and a walking hairspray commercial:) then onto a new years eve pool party toasting to all time zones.

the fluffly stuff

great hikes in the hood when the snow is piling up... the sweet white stuff is very peaceful.

early xmas

i finally got the chance to get down to asheville and spend time with my local family...vic, duece, dante and marcel. it was a lot of fun reconnecting, taking on the town and getting the know the little dude and the nanny.

first winter hike

it is here...cold weather, snow, and great views on hikes that are more solitary than in the summer. looking forward to more of these.

first snow

winter is here.... didnt get the sutdio done, which was a choice, but i wanted to piddle with it...not happening. so it is time to fine tune the inside. floors, counters and appliances on the way.
