The weather in tahoe was excellent! Got to try my new snowboard (Ride Yukon 164) and it carved super. I just point my board downhill and go as fast as I can until I reach the best lift. Sweet! No spins or tricky stuff for me. The trees were worked over and junky so not much of that this time.
I got to ride with my younger brother, and we had a good time. He gets my snowboard handmedowns. I also wax and tune our snowboards.
I took my Ipod along... The first day I listened to rap. *snoop dog* Dj-Quik, Wu-tang, Method Man... The second day I listened to rock/metal :Mercyful Fate, Metallica, Rush, Yes, Genesis ... The third day I chose Jazz Fusion: Mahavishnu Orchestra, Chick Corea Elektrik Band, Shakti, Return to Forever ... The fourth and last day of riding I listened to Bitches Brew and Electric Ladyland. The Ipod thing is so outrageously awesome. At the cabin I had a dozen other albums to listen too, even stuff for the parents.
I was reading
"The Last Expedition: Stanley's Mad Journey through the Congo" at night and didn't get a good enough amount of light from either my pallight or nuwai 1AA light, so I used both, to adequate effect. My luxJr was diffuse enough, but too bright. Oh, well. Stanley could have used those lights, I'm sure. :lolsign:
