Dummy Races

With the end of June's Mtn season upon us. It's time for one the great traditions of ending a season and that's the dummy races. Dummy Races are pretty much what they sound like. Make a dummy, put it on skis and then send down the hill and then watch it try to make it over the jump and then enjoy the crash. Here's a picture of what landing zone looks like. After a few crashes and burns.

632 inches and counting

Well with the lastest storm that dumped 75 inches on Mammoth in the last couple of days. We have broken the all time record for snowfall in a season at 632 inches! and counting. To describe how much snow is around without any pictures is an near impossible task. I'll take some pictures and post them so you can see what they are like. And with our 22 foot base we will riding to fourth of July for sure. And with this much snow around it's hard to believe it's spring, oh well there should be some more storms on their way maybe we wil get to 700 inches this year that would insane, the seasons already epic.

Opening day

The 2006 baseball season has began.

For me it is always one of the best days of the year for no matter what may be going on in my life or the world. It is good to know that there is still hope in the world. For when I am at the park it is all good. I can forget about things like relationships, girls, outside problems, what I am doing next, work and all that fun stuff and just focus on one of the greatest things on earth and that is being at a ballpark. Where as a fan and I can block out all of those things and just enjoy the moment of being there For there is nothing like it in the world. If you understand what they joy of being at the ballpark is there nothing else than can measure up. Some may think baseball is boring game, but it is anything but. There is more going on in game of baseball then a hundred football games. Huh? You saying what? That's right there is more going on in a game of baseball because unlike football or basketball where all of the action is front of you. Baseball's action is subtle if you not paying attention you may never notice the second baseman move two steps to his right to cover a left handed pull hitter and then be in postion to make a great play. You might never be aware of it, that movement and thousands of others that may never get noticed are just one of many reasons why baseball is so great.
The only problem this year is for me like most years is that I am not at a ballpark on opening day. This year I should be able top last years total of just three ballgames. As there are quite a few teams throughout California. It's going to be good to check them out. For I am still on my quest to find the best pizza, beer, and ballpark in America.

So Take me out to the ballgame!
